Do you have an idea for an event or program aimed at promoting interdisciplinary interactions? Consider applying for Bond funds! CLAS faculty may apply for funds to support conferences, performances, exhibitions, lecture series, symposia, workshops, or any combination thereof. Though CLAS faculty must be among the primary participants (as organizers, presenters, panelists, artists, or performers), the participation of other UI faculty is welcome and encouraged.

Applications for AY 25-26 can be submitted at any time and will be considered on a rolling basis. See the Perry A. and Helen J. Bond Fund Interdisciplinary Interaction webpage for more information. 

Note: this memo was also published on Oct. 1 and Nov. 5, 2025.
