Pitt Cyber Accelerator Grants (PCAG) provide initial funding for novel and innovative projects that advance Pitt Cyber’s mission: to bring the breadth of one of the world’s leading public research universities to bear on the critical questions of networks, data, and algorithms, with a focus on the ever-changing gaps among law, policy, and technology.
PCAG funding is to be used especially to advance projects that establish and extend key intellectual infrastructures, such as research and teaching in methods with broad application and utility across disciplines, and projects that bring together researchers, teachers, and/or students across fields of interest.
PCAG funding may be particularly useful in launching transdisciplinary projects that may later attract funding and sponsorship within the university, and/or from government, philanthropic, and industry partners.
Applications for Fall 2025 grants will be accepted starting Wednesday, September 3rd. Deadline to apply is Monday, September 29th. Applicaiton link coming soon!
Please note that we will also be supporting a limited number of PCAG applications this spring focusing on transdisciplinary collaboration. More information about these new Catalyst Collaboration Grants to come next semester.
