The deadline to apply for the Drake Principal Center for Global Engagement Partnership Grants for fiscal year 2024 is coming up, with all applications due on Jan. 20, 2023.
About the grants
Drake University has established formal partnerships with multiple institutions abroad. Joint faculty and staff projects with our global partner institutions may be eligible for financial support through the Global Partnership Grants. Full-time faculty and staff members are eligible to apply for these grants for activities taking place during FY24 (July 1, 2023–June 30, 2024). Preference will be given to proposals that:
- Identify a specific set of activities with distinct outcomes with one or more of our partner institutions.
- Demonstrate a specific impact on Drake curriculum, students, and current global partnerships.
- Advance Drake’s global engagement with existing partners in new ways.
- Support involvement by individuals who have not previously been globally engaged.
- Are financially supported by the school, college, or department of the individual submitting the proposal.
- Align with internationally or globally focused unit objects and/or the University’s Continuous Improvement Plan.
Application Process
- Discuss the proposed activity with your unit Director or Dean prior to submission to help determine its strategic value, and if it aligns with the unit’s global engagement priorities. The discussion will help determine the unit’s interest and ability to support the proposal with financial resources.
- Submit the online application via Qualtrics, which includes a description and budget (see Notes below) for the proposed activity.
- Deans/Directors will review all proposals for their unit with the Assistant Director of Global Partnerships and the Executive Director of Global Engagement for prioritization and to make collaborative funding decisions. Final award decisions will be announced in Spring 2023.
Notes
- Global Engagement grant funds are not typically awarded for stipends for Drake faculty and staff; however, stipend requests may be considered for funding by your unit’s Dean/Director on a case-by-case basis. The College of Arts & Sciences will not fund stipends.
- The College of Arts & Sciences will not fund multiple projects in a given grant cycle submitted by the same individual.
- The College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences will not fund research through this grant.
