Center for Global StudiesFaculty Research Grant Application

All UW faculty and academic professionals are invited to submit proposals for Center for Global Studies Research Grants. Funding of up to $5,000 for travel and research expenses is availablefor projects that will support international research, further the goals of the Center for Global Studies, and help to foster progress in academic research outcomes such as publications and external grant applications. Funding shouldbe applied to international travel for research,but may also be used to bringpeople resident overseas to campus, as long asthey can assist with achieving the given project’s goals. Funding may also be used as seed money to support an externalgrant application process. However, if applied as seed money, it must be used for the grant that it is intended to support.We encourage collaborative projects involving interdisciplinary research groups with faculty from different units. Projects that involve graduate student or undergraduate student mentorship and directly help to internationalize UW’s activities are desirable. We aim to support projects focusing on the implications – from local to global – of evolving international challenges. As such, research projects from all colleges, centers and schools can extend the reach of our campus to the global arena. We will support applications related to international research projects addressing any challenge, whether founded in art, science, humanities, social sciences, agriculture, health, education, or engineering. We encourage projects that are creative, and if founded in a sound rationale those that have uncertain outcomes.

We anticipate funding 6-8 projects every year. Please contact Robert Field, associate director, with specific questions about this grant application r 307-399-3331. More information on the due dates and deadlines as well as on the Center for Global Studies can be found at
