Global Partners in Turkey

Faculty Travel and Research Grant Opportunities

The Global Partners Turkey Task Force is pleased to be able to offer funding for independent travel and research in addition to the seminar opportunity. Grants are available for both area specialists and non-specialists. Grants are designed to assist planned research or curriculum development, or to support faculty members who are prospective program directors for the Global Partners student program in Turkey. Past participants in the faculty development seminar are eligible and encouraged to apply.

Collaborative projects are especially encouraged. Such collaboration could include:

• Working with a colleague from your college or other Global Partners institution
• Pairing of an area specialist and a non-specialist
• Projects involving faculty/student research
• Collaborative work with colleagues abroad
• Inviting colleagues abroad to the U.S. for collaborative teaching and research

Note that while students and international colleagues may participate, the lead applicant for each grant must be a faculty member from a Global Partners institution.

Among other related expenses, grants can pay for transportation and partial living expenses, with awards not exceeding $2,400. Length of stay and research time should be consistent with the project but, ordinarily, no less than one week. We encourage applicants to supplement Global Partners grants with other funding. Approximately 5 grants will be awarded.

For travel in summer 2004 and AY2004-05, applications are due February 1, 2004.
