Nominations are now being accepted for CEHD Global Signature Grants. The grant is awarded to a faculty or P&A staff member, department, or center that proposes program initiatives that demonstrate the college’s commitment to global engagement. Individual or group projects are considered, with priority given to projects that are interdisciplinary.
CEHD Global Signature Grant projects are exemplars of institutionalized internationalization and global commitments in CEHD. They demonstrate the college’s strength through globally focused, mission-driven activities.
The purpose of this grant program is to support the creation of an institutional culture of global engagement in CEHD. By supporting projects in this process, CEHD seeks to institutionalize its global focus, creating opportunities to integrate chosen activities into their core functions and support projects that need extra funding to begin, continue, or complete their activities. Projects that are interdisciplinary and integrate individuals from multiple centers or departments may have higher potential for sustainability than those that depend on individuals, therefore these would be given priority. CEHD considers interdisciplinary to be both within the college or with partners outside the college. For the purpose of this grant attending an international conference is not considered an eligible project.
Application Process: Interested individuals, departments, or centers should submit a 1,000-word proposal by February 3, including:
- Overview of the program
- Implementation timeline with aims to launch in the year awarded
- Contribution of program to broader global efforts in CEHD
- Budget
- Letter of support from Department Chair or Center Director. For group applications one department chair letter is sufficient, with evidence of other department chair approval
- CVs from key implementers
Proposal Deadline: February 3
Review Process: CEHD Global Signature Grants are reviewed by a selected committee of 5-7 individuals, including past award recipients. Announcements of awards will be made by the end of February 2020.
