Seed Grant Funding

During the fall of each academic year, the Global Sport Institute works through the Research Development office at ASU to administer a seed grant program awarding up to $20,000 per project to promote the study of sport. Previous years' themes included "Sport 2036,” “Race and Sport Around the Globe," "Sport and the Body," and “Sex, Gender, and Sexuality in Sports.” This year’s call is open and all submissions will be reviewed by the Institute’s research team and affiliated faculty with subject-matter expertise, which will manage the proposal review process.

Eligible campus recipients are full-time, benefits-eligible employees or students of Arizona State University. Faculty at all levels, research scientists, post-doctoral researchers, staff members, graduate, and undergraduate students are eligible. This request for proposals includes research, multimedia, and art.

The application period for 2021-2022 is now open.
