Call for Proposals
Global Affairs announces the 2020-21 call for proposals for its Seed Grants for International Activities program. As part of a tier-one global research institution, we foster the creation of innovative new programs with a global focus that advance knowledge, enrich student learning, and help solve society’s most pressing problems. We encourage faculty of all ranks and from across the university to submit proposals.
Purpose
The Seed Grants for International Activities program began in 2001 to spark bold new ideas in international research. To date, the program has funded 242 projects totaling over $3.5 million dollars; in turn, these projects have generated over $40 million in external funding. As a collaboration between Global Affairs, the academic deans and the Office of Research, Seed Grant Projects, have helped faculty from every college and professional school at UC Davis to forge and expand important relationships with leading international universities, government agencies, and industry partners, as well as community and non-governmental organizations.
Global Affairs encourages applications for proposals that:
- Foster international research collaborations;
- Create innovations in internationalizing the curriculum and support the philosophy of “Global Education for All”; and
- Build new interdisciplinary, international partnerships.
Eligibility
UC Davis Academic Senate faculty members and Academic Federation faculty with PI status are eligible to apply. All UC Davis locations are eligible. PIs are allowed to submit one seed grant proposal per cycle.
