The Office of International Affairs has announced that it is time to submit applications for the International Travel Assistance Fund for 2017. As they note at their website, "International Affairs supports faculty and staff through an annual fund that provides $1,000 travel awards to encourage global engagement.
My office will match up to $1000 any college faculty member who applies for and receives this funding.
My office will also consider, on a competitive basis, funding faculty who apply but are not funded by the Office of International Affairs. The maximum amount of funding we will supply is $1000; depending on demand for funds, the typical award may be less than this amount. I do not know how many such awards we will make; this will depend on funds available.
To apply to the Office of International Affairs, see the instructions on the bottom of the page at https://international.ncsu.edu/research-and-funding/travel-fund/.
When you submit your application to the OIA, also send a copy to me if you wish to be considered for college funding--tabirkla@ncsu.edu.
Note that the OIA deadline is December 2, 2016
Please let me know if you have any questions.
