[Intl] CIBER awards

[Jenna Graff <graff@uwosh.edu>]

Dear INTL Listserv Members:

I am pleased to inform you of a funding opportunity through the Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER).  Two separate CIBER programs award funds to UW-System faculty and Ph.D. students and Technical College faculty:
 

• Global Research and Curriculum Development
• Applied Funds

 
Funding requests for the Global Research/Curriculum Development Program are accepted and reviewed twice a year: October 1, 2005, and April 1, 2006. Awards in this category range from $2,000-$7,500.
 
Funding requests for the Applied Funds Program are accepted and reviewed monthly.  The next deadline is October 1, 2005.  Requests for funds through this category should not exceed $2,000. 
 
Preference will be given to biotechnology-related initiatives, projects related to corporate governance/business ethics, initiatives that incorporate the use of technology, collaborative and interdisciplinary projects, and projects that involve faculty working in collaboration with Ph.D. students. The grant programs are governed by the mandate under which CIBER receives its funding. Therefore, proposals must be aligned with the mission of CIBER in order to be considered. Requests for funding in either program must be connected, in some way, to the themes below:
 

• Research projects, events and publications that have bearing on the competitiveness of U.S. business internationally.
• Internationalizing curriculum for students. Examples include creating new international-related courses, study abroad and study tour experiences, or enhancing an existing course with use of new technology.  
• Creating faculty development and enrichment programs for business, foreign language, and international studies faculty.
• Collaborating with modern foreign language departments to develop business language courses for students and to provide intensive language training programs for business persons.
