>IDEAS/GLOBAL Challenge: Initial Proposals and Grants for IAP
>IDEAS and Global Challenge are an annual invention and 
>entrepreneurship competition that support innovative service 
>projects (services and prototypes, alike). Initial proposals can be 
>submitted by the 5th of every month through March. All teams must 
>submit at least one initial proposal. If you're in search of funds 
>to develop your idea (i.e., for materials or traveling over IAP), 
>submit a grant request. In that process, we'll connect your team 
>with staff members to provide feedback on how to make your proposal 
>stronger and other opportunities for growth.  We can also help 
>connect you with a mentor or community partner, just ask. To be a 
>part of the IDEAS Competition and MIT Global Challenge, sign up at

>PSC Grants application deadline
>Public Service Center Grants enable student service projects during 
>the semester and over IAP. They have a rolling deadline, but if you 
>plan to travel at the beginning of IAP we have an application 
>deadline of December 2! Turn in your proposals, and turn your 
>service ideas into action!  Expedition Grants, supported by the 
>Underclassmen Giving Campaign and the Alumni Association, enable 
>continuing MIT students to travel to an unknown community and 
>explore solutions to problems. Students have recently used 
>Expedition Grants to start projects in New Orleans, Mexico, and 
>Cameroon! Learn more at web.mit.edu/mitpsc/grants and
