Empowering faculty-alumni partnerships to drive innovative, interdisciplinary creative research that addresses critical global challenges.

The Tisch Creative Research Collaborative Impact Grant fosters groundbreaking partnerships between Tisch faculty and recent alumni. This unique opportunity encourages equitable collaboration, interdisciplinary exploration, and meaningful contributions to key areas of impact, including science and technology, global perspectives, and interdisciplinary impact.

By connecting faculty expertise with fresh alumni perspectives, this grant aims to catalyze transformative research that extends beyond traditional boundaries. Projects supported by this initiative will not only advance creative inquiry but also demonstrate the power of the arts to engage with and influence pressing societal issues. We invite dynamic faculty-alumni teams to propose ambitious, collaborative projects that push the boundaries of their disciplines and contribute to the broader NYU/Tisch community and beyond.
