2013-14 Internationalization Seed Grants

The Office of International Affairs and the Committee on International Programs are pleased to announce that we are accepting proposals for the 2013-2014 Internationalization Seed Grants.

The Internationalization Seed Grant Program

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. Preference will be given to proposals that involve collaborations with NC State’s Strategic Partners.

Seed Grants being awarded for the 2013-14 Fiscal Year, will provide a maximum of $5,000 for any single award.  We anticipate that funds will be available July 2013-June 30, 2014.  Applicants should be aware that, in recent years, award funds have not always been provided on July 1, due to budget uncertainties.  Applicant’s salary is not allowed, but international scholarly expenditures, including travel, may be funded.

The application deadline for the award is February 1, 2013 (4 p.m.)
