Grant Program Overview
TigerWell offers two types of grants to members of the campus community to support innovative and impactful activities, programs, projects, or research that promote well-being at Princeton.
Grants must align with TigerWell’s approach and address specific TigerWell Initiative goals. Applicants for both Partnership Grants and Seed Grants are expected to schedule a consultation meeting with the TigerWell Grant Selection Committee co-chair(s) prior to applying to aid in the application process, answer questions, and develop ideas.
See the Application Guidelines (download below) for full details and requirements. Princeton staff, faculty, students, and post-docs may apply.

Consultation
Do you have a potential grant idea? Please get in touch!
Potential Partnership and Seed Grantees are required to consult with TigerWell prior to submission.
TigerWell is partnering with Health Promotion and Prevention Services (HPPS) in UHS to provide consultation and resources about well-being to prospective and current grantees. Because TigerWell’s mission includes increasing coordination of wellbeing efforts across campus, fostering new partnerships, and promoting best practices, consulting with TigerWell and HPPS early in the process can help you to strengthen your application and maximize your chances of success.
