Call for Proposals: Joint Research Seed Grants 2023
Global Cornell is offering competitive faculty grants in collaboration with several Global Hubs partners. Apply for funding to explore potential research collaborations with colleagues at Hubs universities.
Global Hubs collaborative research seed grants bring together Cornell and partner institution faculty to develop joint projects with the potential to create new or expanded research partnerships and cutting-edge scholarship with academic and societal impact. These international seed grants provide initial financial support for early-stage research projects or capacity-building efforts to create and sustain long-term collaborations and secure external funding.
Application deadline: October 6, 11:59 p.m. ET
Funded projects run from January 1–December 31, 2024.
