Unfortunately, these grants have been put on hold due to lack of funding.  We hope to secure additional funding in the future so that we can offer these grants again.

Thank you.

FACULTY INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT GRANTS

The CU-Boulder Office of International Education (OIE) encourages faculty to include an international dimension in their teaching and research.  To assist faculty in this endeavor, OIE will offer grants to faculty who wish to participate in short-term faculty development seminars abroad.

The grant funds are limited are unfortunately not available to fund regular research, scholarship, or creative work.  The grants are for participants in short-term faculty development seminars only. 

WHO MAY APPLY?  Full-time instructors, tenure-track faculty and tenured faculty are eligible to apply.

 HOW MUCH ARE THE GRANTS?  The grant would cover the program fee of your seminar (up to $2000).  The grant would not cover all of your expenses, so you would need to find additional funding or self-fund the balance of the cost.

 WHAT IS THE APPLICATION DEADLINE?  The preferred deadlines are February 1 and September 1.  Applications may be considered at other times if funds are available. 

 WHAT IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS?   You will need to submit to the Office of International Education an application and supporting documents (see the application link at the bottom of this page).

 WHAT IS THE SELECTION CRITERIA?  Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously received a grant in order to make the grant funds available to a wide range of participants.  We are looking for people who:

• are qualified for the seminars they have chosen

• are not already expert in the overseas area to be visited or the subject area covered by the seminar

• have not received this grant in the last 3 years

• will agree to write a short report on what they learned in the seminar that would be posted on the Office of International Education web site.

• are willing to give back to CU-Boulder by:
    - incorporating what they learn in the seminars in their teaching and/or research
    - educating the general campus through presentations, if requested
    - working towards internationalizing the Boulder campus.
