Flagship Fund Call for Proposals 2024

The University of Montana invites proposals for the UM Flagship Fund, a fund from which UM will invest in projects that seek to translate UM’s Vision into action.

UM’s greatest asset is its talented and committed faculty and staff. The Flagship Fund, currently funded through philanthropic support, provides an opportunity for faculty and staff to access funding for innovative ideas that will propel UM into the future while delivering on its promise to foster inclusive prosperity for all. 

This year, the Flagship Fund invites proposals for one-year grants of up to $10,000 to build the University’s internal capacity to better utilize generative artificial intelligence.  This is one of the areas UM has identified as posing external opportunities and challenges as we look ahead for our university. 

Proposals should align with one of the five, broad AI pillars the university has identified:

  1. curricular integration
  2. student support
  3. operational efficiency
  4. enrollment, marketing, and advancement
  5. research and innovation

Proposals should also support one or more of UM’s strategic objectives.

Funding will be available for these projects in the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
