Spring round deadline for support : Wednesday, April 23, 2008 Download Guidelines (PDF)

The Simpson Center always encourages faculty and graduate students to consult with Simpson Center staff in formulating proposals, particularly if a project does not fall into any of the categories described below but does fulfill the broad goals of the Simpson Center. To schedule an appointment, please call 543.3920.

Please note that the Simpson Center does not review applications whose primary purpose is travel funding for individual research or conference participation. The Simpson Center also does not fund honoraria for UW faculty and graduate students for on-campus programs.

The director of the Simpson Center reserves the right, under unusual circumstances, to bring exceptional proposals to the Executive Board outside of the regular funding cycle.

The Simpson Center has moved to an electronic submission system using Catalyst Tools. Assistance using Catalyst Tools is available on the Catalyst Website.
