The Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) offers funding to research projects conducted by PIs at member institutions. Submissions are first screened at the campus level and up to three (3) projects are selected for submission to the network call. With this form you are applying for review to be included as one of those three submissions from UC Santa Cruz.
In this form we are asking for limited information to keep this initial application as simple as possible. If you are selected you will need to further develop the proposal (including lengthening the replies to each section and creating a full budget) for final submission.
