OIA Grants for Faculty and Students
Posted on: 02/26/2006
Interdisciplinary Lectures, Seminars and Conferences on International Themes
The Office of International Affairs is awarding grants of up to $5,000 to support interdisciplinary lectures, seminar series, or conferences on topics relevant to areas of the world outside the United States (but by no means excluding the U.S. as a case for comparative study). These activities may focus on one particular geographical area, or they may involve systematic cross-regional perspectives on themes of global relevance (e.g., democratization, the future of the welfare state, religious fundamentalism, environmental degradation, trends in literature and the arts). Proposals are invited from faculty, interdisciplinary and area study centers, and academic units. Eligibility is contingent upon the commitment of partial or counterpart funds from other OSU or extramural sources.
Faculty International Travel Grants
The Office of International Affairs is soliciting applications from faculty who are proposing to (1) collaborate with foreign scholars in preparing a research grant proposal, (2) participate in a faculty-exchange program, (3) develop agreements linking OSU to major foreign institutions, or (4) complete a manuscript jointly authored with a foreign based scholar. Typical grants range from $1,500 to $2,000, with a maximum ceiling of $3,000. With the exception of those faculty members proposing to participate in an OSU faculty-exchange program, applicants are required to secure counterpart funds from OSU or external funding agencies.
Graduate Student Dissertation/MA Thesis Research Travel Grants
The Office of International Affairs will make available funding to support international travel for: (1) pre-dissertation preliminary research; (2) doctoral dissertation research; and (3) research necessary to complete a Masters thesis (for students in those units where the Masters is typically the terminal degree). All OSU students who are currently enrolled in a graduate degree program are eligible to apply. Grants range from $1,500 to $2,000, with a maximum award of $3,000. These funds are to be used as seed money or to match funds committed by other OSU or external funding agencies.
The Phyllis Krumm Memorial International Scholarship
The Office of International Affairs will make available up to three awards of $1,000 to deserving graduate students for research or study in a European country or China. Applicants must be enrolled as a post-baccalaureate student at OSU in an academic program of study in any field. Students must demonstrate excellence in scholarship and an appropriate background for research or studying Europe or China (including the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, and/or Taiwan). Preference is given to U.S. citizens preparing for careers in diplomatic or other governmental international service.
Deadline for all application materials is Friday, April 7
