Collaborative Research Grants

The Halle Institute for Global Research offers Collaborative Research Grants, open to regular, continuing full-time faculty in all schools and disciplines. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals for innovative collaborative research projects involving faculty from one of our partner universities. The research may take place in any country or region as long as it is done collaboratively. Upon request, the Halle Institute will help create connections with potential collaborators. Project outcomes may include publications, external funding, and/or other forms of research-based activity.

Collaborative Research Grant proposals are reviewed by faculty representing multiple schools and disciplines. Proposals should be written in clear, accessible language.
