Our Engaged Learning team is seeking proposals for the 2026 Engage Detroit Workshop grant program, which supports small groups of U-M faculty and staff members organizing a workshop or a speaker series in Detroit. Please consider sharing this information with your faculty and staff who are interested in pursuing projects in Detroit.
Continuing our commitment to partnerships with Detroit, this grant provides up to $15,000 in funding for workshops or speaker series that foster meaningful relationships and connections on a topic connecting faculty and staff at the University of Michigan with Detroit communities. The program has awarded 27 projects since its inception in 2022.
In collaboration with the Dearborn and Flint Provosts, for 2026, we are planning to support up to six proposals aimed at organizing a workshop or speaker series on a topic that is both relevant to Detroit communities and brings together multiple initiatives/projects led by UM faculty/staff.
Submissions are due by March 1, 2026; an overview of the program is available here. You can read more about the program in Monday’s Record article, or at the Engaged Michigan website. You can also review active work by U-M faculty and staff in Detroit, as reported in our 2025 census map.
Please direct any questions you may have about the program or application process to engagedmichigan@umich.edu.
