Building Your Team
Each year in the Spring, a Call for Proposals is shared from the VIP Program team for Catalytic Seed Funding grants that are awarded in the following August. Grants are intended to support the development of new VIP Teams in their first year, and a maximum of four teams per year are selected for four years. We will have 16 teams by the August of 2028!
The archived 2025-2026 Call for Proposals is here as a sample, but is subject to revisions between each year. Teams are currently only being formed from VIP Program-funded projects during the proposal window.
