NCSU Internationalization Seed Grants

This note was distributed to all CHASS faculty today, but I repost it here for your information and reference. The original note contained two attachments; please see your mail for the original note or contact Chantell at the address below.

Internationalization Seed Grants are designed to assist NC State University faculty members to carry out research and other scholarly professional activities that address international topics and enhance the internationalization of the University.  The University Standing Committee on International Programs (CIP) oversees the review and award process for these grants.  Awards are intended to serve as seed money leading to follow-up support obtained from outside granting agencies.

Seed Grants being awarded for the 2011-12 Fiscal Year, will provide a maximum of $5,000 for any single award.  We anticipate that funds will be available January 7, 2011-June 30, 2012.  Applicants should be aware that, in recent years, award funds have not always been provided on January 7, due to budget uncertainties.  Applicant’s salary is not allowed, but international scholarly expenditures, including travel, may be funded.
