The CEHD Global Signature Grant supports program initiatives or projects that demonstrate the college’s commitment to global engagement, meaningful relationships, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 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 our college’s strength through globally-focused, mission-driven activities.
CEHD International Initiatives is focused on deepening relationships locally and globally. This means listening and responding to the needs of our global partners. We are committed to fostering meaningful relationships that intentionally work to decolonize international engagement, and foster sustainability and reciprocity. We invite faculty to submit proposals that align with our approach to international engagement.
The purpose of this grant program is to support and grow global engagement in CEHD. Projects that demonstrate and advance a commitment to reciprocity, collaborative knowledge making, and reimaging researcher-participant relations are of particular interest.
June 2024 through August 2025.
Up to $10,000 support for travel, research or project related expenses, or other relevant needs.
