Global and Area Studies Grants Program
Call for Proposals 2020
Overview
The Center for Global and Area Studies (CGAS) is pleased to announce the Global and Area Studies Grants program for full-time University of Delaware faculty. This competitive grant program provides awards of up to $5,000 each to support international research. Grant recipients may be asked to present their research results as part of the Issues in Global Studies (ARSC300) public lecture series or in a similar public venue.
Funds may be used for research costs and international research travel, and other expenses directly related to the proposed activities, subject to UD policies. Salary, stipends, equipment, and costs related to conference travel are not eligible for funding in this grant program. No cost share is required. Faculty teams may apply for a joint award, but the $5,000 grant ceiling still applies. Preference will be given to:
- Faculty who have not received awards from CGAS in the last three years.
- Faculty whose scholarship and teaching contributes to the Global and Area Studies programs at UD. For more information about the Center and its programs, click here.
- Faculty in fields such as the Humanities and Social Sciences, where funding opportunities are limited.
The award period runs from May 30, 2020 to May 31, 2021.
The deadline for applications is March 20, 2020. Please send applications to jrybicki@udel.edu
Grants recipients will be notified by April 24, 2020.
