Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The below message was sent to faculty and staff on September 15, 2025.

Friends and Colleagues: 

We are excited to announce a new joint undertaking between Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Haverford intended to strengthen and deepen our longstanding academic partnership.  

As detailed in the Request for Proposals, we invite proposals for achievable, innovative pilot projects that promise meaningful outcomes for students, support faculty innovation, and enhance the academic experience across both campuses.  

RFP Details

Our goal is to spark initiatives that: 

• Strengthen the academic experience and foster intellectual innovation across both campuses; 

• Promote sustained collaboration across and between departments, disciplines, and campuses; 

• Contribute to the intellectual environment, inquiry, and knowledge that enable undergraduates to thrive. 

• Position the Bi-Co nationally as a place big ideas are nurtured and grown into more than the sum of its parts 

Faculty and staff in all academic departments, programs, and inter-unit initiatives within the Bi-Co are eligible to apply. All proposals must include at least one faculty member and one collaborator each from Haverford and Â鶹ÊÓƵ. Submissions are welcome in either of two rounds this fall, with deadlines 10/28 and 12/15. We will award grants of up to $10,000 to be spent over the course of spring 2026. 

We hope these grants will foster innovation and fresh collaboration across our shared community of scholars, teachers, artists, and practitioners. Please consider applying. You may reach out to Â鶹ÊÓƵ Interim Provost David Karen or Haverford  with any questions. 

Sincerely, 

Wendy Cadge, president, Â鶹ÊÓƵ 

Wendy Raymond, president, Haverford College
