University Global Partnership Network (UPGN): Call for Proposals

This is an excellent opportunity for faculty whose work engages international partners. The College enjoyed some success in last year's funding process, so I think this is worth careful consideration this year. Some great things are being done under this program.

The University Global Partnership Network (UGPN) is pleased to announce the Second Call for Proposals to the UGPN Research Collaboration Fund. This Fund will support high-quality research collaborations between researchers at the UGPN partner institutions.

Proposals should be jointly submitted by faculty from at least two of the UGPN partner institutions.

Deadline for submission: Thursday November 15, 2012 at 5:00 pm.
