The Division of Extension’s mission is to extend the knowledge and resources of the University of Wisconsin to people where they live and work. As part of that mission, Extension conducts applied research in support of educational programming and community engagement that addresses issues facing communities, individuals, families and organizations across the state.
Rejoining with UW–Madison provides new opportunities for faculty and staff at UW–Madison who haven’t historically partnered with Extension to engage in applied research, community engagement and educational outreach programming. Extension’s disciplinary breadth is large with six Institutes focused on Youth, Natural Resources, Families, Health, Community Development and Agriculture ( https://extension. wisc.

The goal of the Wisconsin Idea Collaboration Grant (WICG) funding is to support projects that enhance the breadth and level of Extension engagement across campus while supporting the Wisconsin Idea. To better understand priority issues, we encourage those interested in applying for a WICG grant to reach out to the appropriate Extension Academic Associate Deans and/or Institute Directors ( https://people.
