The Faculty Global Engagement Fund seeks to advance Duke University faculty by promoting innovative approaches to global research and teaching and scholarly engagement, both at Duke and abroad. Funds support international travel and global projects that advance global research, engage with global partners or provide Duke students with new opportunities for global learning and engagement. Funds may also support exploratory travel to establish connections abroad, form a global initiative and/or prepare a project proposal for an OGA or external global funding opportunity. Projects may occur on Duke’s campus, virtually or abroad. All project proposals should delineate measurable outcomes and assessment criteria.
Priority will be given to proposals which:
Funds will be awarded on a rolling basis from September 1st, 2022 – April 15th, 2023. Faculty may apply for awards of up to $3,000. 15 awards will be available during the fiscal year.
All regular-rank faculty with a primary appointment on the University side are eligible to apply, but Assistant Professors will receive priority consideration.
This fund is intended to support faculty who do not currently have financial resources to travel for academic purposes and/or initiate a global project. It is assumed that support requested from the Faculty Global Engagement Fund cannot be obtained through personal research accounts, departmental, college, or external sources. Efforts to obtain funding from other sources must be reported and attached to the application. Funding should be used to cover travel and project-related expenses. The fund does not support conference travel, unless participation in a conference is related to a broader project or initiative.
