Grants for Faculty & Staff
Funding for Faculty and Staff
OIA is pleased to offer a number of grants to IUPUI, IUPUC, and IUFW faculty and staff to advance campus priorities around international education.
Global Impact Research Grant (GIRG)
Full-time, tenure-track eligible faculty at IUPUI, IUPUC and IUFW are invited to apply to the GIRG. The goal of this grant program is to provide a limited number of high-potential awards that propose interdisciplinary mechanisms to tackle issues that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. While there are 17 distinct goals, the SDGs are also indivisible, and they require interdisciplinary and transnational research that is transformative and comprehensive.
Proposals that integrate the use of the IU Global Gateways, including hosting at least one activity (such as a workshop, conference, or public event), may be eligible for an additional supplement of up to $5,000 from the Office of the Vice President of International Affairs. To apply, please submit a separate application for a Global Gateway Grant indicating the GIRG grant as the source of matching funds.
Applications open October 6, 2023 and close December 1, 2023.
