The CEHD Global Signature Grant is awarded to a faculty, P&A staff, department, or center that proposes program initiatives that demonstrate the college’s commitment to global engagement. Individual or group projects are considered, with priority given to projects that are interdisciplinary and sustainable. CEHD Global Signature Grant projects are exemplars of institutionalized internationalization and global commitments in CEHD. They demonstrate our college’s strength through globally-focused, mission-driven activities.
The purpose of this grant program is to support the creation of an institutional culture of global engagement in CEHD. By supporting projects in this process, we seek to institutionalize our global focus, creating opportunities to integrate chosen activities into their core functions and support projects that need extra funding to begin, continue, or complete their activities. Projects that are interdisciplinary and integrate individuals from multiple centers or departments may have higher potential for sustainability than those that depend on individuals, therefore these would be given priority. We consider interdisciplinary to be both within the college or with partners outside the college. For the purpose of this grant attending an international conference is not considered an eligible project.
Interested individuals, departments, or centers should submit a 1000-word proposal by February 22, 2023 including:
Applications are due at 5PM on February 22, 2023 to CEHD International Initiatives, cehdintl@umn.edu.
