Knowledge Mobilization Spotlight Grants
Periodically, the Knowledge Mobilization Initiative will put out calls for graduate student and postdoctoral fellow stories and perspectives around a particular theme. This round of KM Spotlight Grants, we're looking for student/postdoctoral experiences and innovations related to Covid-19. The application deadline is October 30, 2020. Each student or postdoc story will be featured on the Graduate Insider, the Graduate College’s signature blog, beginning in October.
Five Knowledge Mobilization Spotlight Grants of $100 will be awarded to graduate students or postdoctoral fellows with the most innovative solutions to challenges presented by the spread of COVID-19. The winners will be announced on November 16, 2020.
What is Knowledge Mobilization?
The Knowledge Mobilization Initiative explores concepts, skills and practices that move research from the page and into action, enriching current practice, policy and social discourse in the process. One goal for the KM Initiative is to highlight graduate student and postdoctoral research at ASU--particularly how our student and early career scholars are applying and disseminating their research to broad audiences, which increased social impact.
