Please see the following message from Russell Ganim, Associate Provost and Dean for International Programs.

I am writing with a reminder about upcoming application deadlines for faculty funding opportunities from International Programs:

GLOBAL RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP AWARD

• Deadline: October 15
• The Global Research Partnership Award (GRPA) is intended to help initiate new or expand existing international partnerships and/or to build an institutional relationship to facilitate future joint research projects. Two GRPAs are available, for up to $10,000 each.

SUMMER RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

• Deadline: October 31 
• The International Programs Summer Research Fellowship is a developmental award designed to promote the internationalization of research on campus. The strongest proposals will demonstrate genuine engagement with international issues, whether aesthetic, cultural, historical, political, or global. While such projects will typically involve work at an international location, travel abroad is not required. Each $3,000 summer fellowship is expected to result in at least one publication, exhibit, or performance.

• Faculty Research Award: The Center for Asian and Pacific Studies (CAPS) is pleased to invite applications from all tenured and tenure-track UI faculty members engaged in research on East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific region.

Applicants are encouraged to supplement their awards with funds from other sources. 

MAJOR PROJECTS AWARD

A single project will be funded, up to $12,500.

SPECIAL PROJECTS AWARD

Awards are typically a maximum of $500.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AWARD

• Deadline: the last day of each month
• International Programs' International Travel Awards contribute to internationalization at the University of Iowa by funding the international scholarship and engagement of UI faculty.
