Mellon Research Initiatives (2010-2022)

The Mellon Research Initiatives ran from 2010-2022. Each Initiative was an intense and focused exploration of a particular interdisciplinary topic of great importance to UC Davis, the region, and the world. The DHI funded eight interdisciplinary Mellon Research Initiatives, four in the initial 2010 Mellon award and four under the 2014 renewal. Each Mellon Research Initiative received a generous multi-year funding package that supported a two-year postdoctoral fellow, three years of event programming, and recruitment and research awards for graduate students. The last two initiatives were each extended a year due to the pandemic.
