Funding

The Center for Global Initiatives offers an array of competitive funding opportunities for faculty, graduate and undergraduate students.  We are UNC’s institutional host of the Fulbright Program and we offer the innovative REACH Fellowship that supports both research and teaching.  We also support curriculum development , field research, international internships, conference participation, pre-dissertation travel, and foreign language training

To encourage innovative ideas that expand and amplify the global work of UNC, we also provide matching funds for projects being supported by other units on campus.

In line with our over-arching goals, we are especially interested in funding innovative projects that 1) carry the potential to reshape intellectual communities; 2) bridge disciplinary boundaries to generate deliberations with diverse perspectives; and 3) engage external audiences with the knowledge and activities generated at UNC
