    Impact Grants: A letter of support from the sponsoring division’s Dean is required. Seed Grants: At a minimum, a letter of support from the head of the sponsoring unit is required. Note: Candidates from the Faculty of Arts & Science are to request decanal approval by submitting proposals to international.artsci@utoronto.ca before submitting their final proposal to OVPI. Some multi-departmental divisions also require Decanal approval, and applicants should contact their Dean’s office to determine appropriate policies.
  • Applicants will be required to upload the letter of support as part of the final proposal process. Proposals should outline implications and strategies for sustaining the project once ISEF funds have concluded. In many cases, this will require a commitment by the sponsoring Division to review the project for ongoing funding upon the completion of ISEF funds.
