Dear Colleagues,
The application cycle for the Office of Research and Innovation’s Convene and Influence program is now open, and applications are due by Monday, March 16, 2026.
Through this program, we aim to support convening and dissemination activities that will shape future research agendas at UC San Diego and beyond. I hope teams feel motivated to connect on projects that reflect the depth and creativity of our UC San Diego community. We especially encourage proposals that demonstrate strong cross‑campus engagement and bring together existing hubs of expertise to develop interdisciplinary research agendas and meaningful, long‑term impact.
You can learn more about previously funded teams and projects here: 2025 Convene and Influence Awardees.
