Additional details are as follows:

Center for Global Studies Travel Grants (Domestic):

The Center for Global Studies provides funding resources for UW faculty engaged in research, teaching or programs related to Global Studies. Domestic travel awards provide an average award of $500 to support UW faculty participation in academic conferences, research/teaching linkages, and curriculum and professional development in the United States. Preference is given to activities that can show a clear and substantial impact on UW Global Studies teaching and research. Funding is also available for language faculty to participate in ACTFL training and related language pedagogy professional development. UW librarians are also eligible to apply for a travel grant for purposes of professional development that support global studies teaching, research, and professional development. Funding requests should be submitted via the online application form and include how participation in this event will support the faculty’s research and professional development.

Center for Global Studies Travel Grants (International):

The Center for Global Studies provides funding resources for UW faculty engaged in research, teaching or programs related to Global Studies. A limited number of international travel awards (maximum $2,000) to support UW faculty participation in academic conferences, research/teaching linkages, and curriculum and professional development internationally. Preference is given to activities that can demonstrate impact on UW Global Studies teaching and research across multiple dimensions (e.g. research and curriculum development). Awards for international travel solely for attending conferences are considered lower priority. Funding requests should be submitted via the online application form and include how participation in this event will support the faculty’s research and professional development. Applications for international travel awards should include a discussion of how the travel will support strengthening of global studies at the University of Washington, such as through building future research and study abroad opportunities and linkages.

Please note that all international travel using Center for Global Studies funding requires pre-approval from our U.S. Department of Education program officer. All travel approvals must be submitted at least 30 days in advance of travel.

Applications and any additional questions should be submitted by April 19th. Please note that these grants are not intended as course development grants. The Center for Global Studies has a separate award and application process for course development awards.
