The Grand Challenges Grants Program is the largest and most comprehensive of its type ever introduced at the University of Maryland, supporting projects that address emerging societal issues, including climate change, social injustice, global health, and education disparities. Launched in partnership between the Office of the Provost and the Division of Research, this program is a Fearlessly Forward strategic initiative designed to accelerate solutions to humanity’s grand challenges within our communities and around the globe through education, research, scholarship, creative activities, and service.
