Description
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) offers Faculty Grants for research and creative projects with significant impact on campus or beyond. The program treats art, science, and technology as interrelated, mutually informing modes of exploration, knowledge, and discovery, and welcomes cross-disciplinary artistic projects.
CAST supports exploratory work that may be difficult to fund through traditional sources but could lead to creative works, significant research, or future collaborations. It encourages proposals focused on racial and social justice and projects that amplify the artistic work and voices of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). Applicants can consult CAST about shaping proposals to fit its funding guidelines and mission.
