Faculty/Staff Funding Opportunity
The Division of International Programs is pleased to announce the launch of the Faculty Internationalization Grants, a re-designed and expanded version of the IP Faculty Grants.
This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to support OSU’s internationalization agenda, which includes recruitment and retention of diverse international students, developing and supporting education abroad opportunities for OSU’s domestic students, promoting global learning through curricular and co-curricular means, and fostering strategic international partnerships to promote faculty research and outreach activities.
Faculty Internationalization Grants are designed to encourage and support OSU faculty who are working to further OSU’s internationalization efforts as well their own professional involvement in activities that enhance our teaching, research and engagement with topics and colleagues beyond the U.S.
Grants of up to $2,500 are available to OSU faculty to help promote international research, partnership, and collaboration. The applicant’s unit is expected to share the cost of this investment to promote internationalization across the University. Awards will be made on an on-going basis and there is no deadline.
Please see the links below to learn more about Faculty Internationalization Grants and to submit an online application.
Description and Award Criteria
If you have questions about this program, please contact Charlotte Moats-Gallagher [541.737.6406, charlotte.moats-gallagher@oregonstate.edu].

Bartlett, a chemistry major at Oregon State University, approached Beaudry and asked if there were any undergraduate positions available in Beaudry’s research group. Read More…
