The International Programs office has a new program to support faculty members pursuing international research abroad. The program is funded by a donation from the International Programs Advisory Board. A faculty committee will select recipients.
Eligibility is limited to tenured or tenure-track faculty members.
They may be funded only once in three years. Applicants must use the funding to pursue research on an international topic that will result in publication of a scholarly paper or that will directly affect at least one course they regularly teach. Besides supporting research activity, the award is intended to help expand the university's international orientation, expertise and outreach. Exceptions will be made for extraordinary, fast-breaking opportunities. Upon return, the grant recipient must submit a short statement about the project and its results.
