Dear Colleagues,

At the start of the year, I announced my Dean’s Innovation Challenge, which is meant to stimulate quick-start, short-term, creative collaborative projects that are especially well-positioned to capture attention outside the University. Additional details about the Challenge and how to apply are available here.

I welcome and encourage proposals from faculty, staff, or students, activities that must be led by members of at least two of these categories. As a reminder, applications should be submitted to the Dean’s Office (sphdeansoffice@bu.edu) by Tuesday, February 18, 2025.

By the end of February, we will select up to four projects for funding in the amount of $10,000 per award to cover project-related expenses. At the end of the six-month award period, the project that has received the most visibility outside the University will receive a prize of $5,000 to be divided among team members as overbase payments.

I look forward to reviewing your proposals!

Warm regards,

Michael Stein
Dean ad interim
Boston University School of Public Health
