The School of Education has selected 18 projects for funding through the One School Innovation Fund — 5 Seed and 13 Engage grants. The fund was designed to support bold, collaborative research and scholarship across the arts, education and health. Launched earlier this year by the Office of Research & Scholarship and Dean Marcelle Haddix, the fund was intentionally designed to encourage scholars to think expansively about how their work can address complex social and cultural challenges while advancing the Wisconsin Idea, innovation and the One School approach.
This year’s competition drew 71 proposals from 15 units across the School, reflecting the depth of innovation and engagement in our community. Through a rigorous, multi-stage review process involving subject-matter experts and a faculty committee, these projects were selected for their strong potential to advance high-impact scholarship, foster cross-unit collaboration, and position our faculty and academic staff for future funding and broader impact.
Congratulations to the awardees, and thank you to all who submitted proposals and contributed to this highly competitive process. We are excited to see how these projects advance the One School approach and the Wisconsin Idea in meaningful ways.
