UW Asian and Global Studies Course Development Grant
UW Asian and Global Studies Course Development Grants
for Community College Faculty
The University of Washington’s Asian Studies and Global Studies Centers seek proposals from community college faculty for the development of a new course, revision of an existing course, or creation of a new course module that incorporates area studies centered on Asia* into their curriculum.
Applications that address the following themes are encouraged (but not required): inclusive health and education; environmental justice and climate change; technology, democracy, and security; and migration, displacement, and refugees. We especially encourage applications for courses or modules that cover less commonly taught regions or countries in Asia.
While the grant does not support language classes, faculty from all other disciplines are welcome to apply. Proposed courses or modules may be in-person, online, or hybrid. Courses or modules must be offered at your current institution before the end of the 2025-26 academic year.
Eligibility: faculty (full-time, part-time, or adjunct) at U.S. community colleges
Award Categories:
- Development of new module for an existing course: up to $2,000
- Complete revision of an existing course: up to $3,000
- Development of a new course: up to $4,000
