The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ODEI) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) offers funding opportunities that advance equity, diversity, and inclusion consistent with UMB's Core Values, theme 3: University Culture, Engagement, and Belonging of UMB 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, and UMB's Diversity Strategic Plan. 

The purpose of the Be JEDI Innovation Grant is to enhance belonging, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion at UMB through education, research, service, climate, or leadership outcomes and to support and advance the UMB Strategic Plan, with a particular focus on Theme 3: University Culture, Engagement, and Belonging and the integration of core values of equity and justice at UMB.

The Faculty Champions of Change Professional Development Funding provided resources to full-time UMB faculty who are underrepresented in their discipline and champion equity, diversity, inclusion, belonging, or justice for the UMB community and surrounding communities. In 2024, OEDI funded ten professional development opportunities.

Be on the lookout for future funding opportunities in the Elm and Elm Weekly.
