Global Bryn Mawr Grants Support Research, Curriculum Development

About the Grant

The Global Learning Experience Committee is pleased to invite faculty and staff (teaching undergraduate or graduate students) to apply for a grant of up to $5,000 for internationally oriented research and/or curriculum. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support work that fosters global learning. In this connection, the committee asks that proposals engage with the Bryn Mawr Global Capacities for Student Learning.

The Committee intends to support a range of projects. Applicants from all departments and divisions will be considered. Funds have a broad range of possibility and may be used for projects, collaborations, conversations, assemblies, and hosting visitors/collaborators/co-teachers; for student engagement in travel, research collaboration, and/or research assistance; and for projects concerned with local or domestic issues that have an international or global connection. Projects must include student involvement, e.g., collaborators, workshop participants, research assistants, et al.
