Subject: Call for Proposals: Science Quality of Life Program

Dear School of Science Staff Member,

The School of Science is pleased to launch a two-year pilot Science Quality of Life (SQoL) program designed to build community within the School, promote inclusiveness for students, staff, and faculty of diverse identities, backgrounds, and abilities, and support the physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being of our community members. The program’s goals are to:

•                      Provide faculty, staff and students opportunities to interact and socialize outside of the current research driven seminar series and other  department-based events.
•                      Integrate academic and social aspects of life within the School.
•                      Improve communications and outreach.
•                      Build collaborations and connections with other community groups on campus.

The SQoL program encourages projects that have wide appeal among School community members, but will also consider proposals that focus on specific groups if they cut across existing departmental and programmatic lines. Projects need not be ambitious in scope, so long as they encourage positive connections within the community. The Selection Committee will consider proposals of all sizes, but generally caps projects at $3K per year.  In addition, proposals that have matching funds from other sources will be viewed favorably by the selection committee.

If you are interested in learning more about the program or submitting a proposal, additional information appears in the attached and online at sciencem.it/sos-sql.  You can also contact Michael Bishop at 617-253-8900 or email scienceqol at mit.edu<mailto:scienceqol at mit.edu> or me at 617-253-8904.

Best,
Heather Williams
