The Network Challenge seeks to encourage new ideas, foster collaborations, and incentivize resource- and information-sharing among network members. The broad goal is to fund projects that help train a new generation of graduates who have both technological literacy and a rigorous foundation to navigate the societal, ethical, legal, policy, and equity implications of technology by offering a systematic way of studying technology as a tool for addressing social problems in the world.

Internal deadline is May 10, 2022. Applications are open to all PIs on UCSC Campus. One year project funding is available in two tranches: up to $90,000 and up to $180,000. An initial campus limited submission process will select up to three projects that will be submitted to the network committee. 

Internal UCSC applications can be submitted here.
