The Illinois Global Institute invites proposals for the New Approaches to International Area and Global Studies grants. The New Approaches grant supports multidisciplinary initiatives to increase UIUC engagement with world regions and with global questions beyond the current scope of the eleven area and global studies centers and thematic programs within IGI. The New Approaches grant will support projects to develop area and global thematic approaches in teaching, research, and/or public engagement. Full time faculty and staff at UIUC are eligible to apply for the grant. We welcome proposals that include participation by faculty and staff at other higher education institutions in Illinois.
- Potential outcomes for New Approaches projects include:
- Development of new or expanded curricula in the funded subject;
- Development of an Investment for Growth proposal;
- Expansion of the capacity and scope of one of the IGI centers or programs;
- The development of grant proposals to further research or instruction in funded area;
- Development of study abroad and student exchange activities to build engagement with a world region;
- Efforts to recruit faculty through approaches such as cluster hire initiatives.
