The proposal should respond to the following funding opportunity:
Ohio State University Campus Improvement Projects
The Ohio State University invites proposals for projects that will improve the student experience
on the main campus located in Columbus, Ohio, and in the surrounding neighborhoods with
dense student populations.
Projects must be student-led and improve the student experience, campus environment,
educational opportunities, or sustainability of the OSU Columbus campus OR address the needs
of students across the globe who are active in OSU classes. Activities must be primarily carried
out by OSU students with minimal oversight or input from University faculty and staff. Projects
that change the operation of an existing campus service will not be considered.
Acceptable projects must combine action and education to make a measurable impact and must
include a plan for evaluating the success of the project.
Projects must include a plan to report on the progress of the project over its lifetime, as well as a
publicly available final report of the project’s progress toward meeting its stated goals.
Awards for this program will range from one to three years in most cases. Longer awards are
possible if the additional time will allow for broader dissemination of results or to serve a larger
audience. Proposals must be for an ongoing activity or campus improvement. One-time events
will not be considered.
Capital improvements and equipment cannot exceed 25% of direct costs.
Grants will be between $250,000 and $1,000,000. There are no requirements for matching
funds under this funding opportunity.
