Magic Grant Office Hours Available at Columbia

UPDATE: OFFICE HOURS ARE BOOKED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE GRANT CALL CYCLE.

To accommodate additional questions and meetings between applicants and Brown Institute staff, we will be holding open All Staff office hours on Wednesday, April 4 and Friday, April 6 from 1-5pm at Columbia.


The Brown Institute at Columbia is hosting office hours starting on February 20, 2018 to discuss our magic grant opportunities. These one-on-one sessions allow you to sit down with a member of the Brown Institute staff to discuss:

  • The types of projects we’re interested in supporting
  • The various types of support we offer to grantees & fellows
  • Eligibility guidelines
  • How our staff can help you develop your proposal
  • How to apply

Since staff members don’t evaluate your final proposal for funding, we are happy to help make your proposal as strong as possible for the review committee. Therefore, we are happy to meet with you about specifics in your proposal. Please be sure to come with questions if you’d like us to review your proposal. Please register for office hours below, or at brwn.co/officehrs. Lastly, these sessions can be done via phone or video chat — be sure to reach out to browninstitute@columbia.edu prior to your scheduled office hour session to let the staff know.
