The Cognitive Science Initiative helps to sponsor interdisciplinary colloquia in its members’ departments, and workshops that its members organize. The usual expectation is that the funds will be matched by other sources, and the usual maximum is $500 for colloquia, and $1000 for workshops. To apply for this funding, or for more details, send an e-mail to cogsci@umass.edu, or speak with a departmental representative to the steering committee.
