RESEARCH WITH ADDITIONAL INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL FUNDING
Faculty submitting an application to the Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED) for a New Faculty Grant, a Summer Research Grant, a Regular Faculty Research Grant, or a Research Assignment may be eligible for a Kohler grant if their project contains an international component. Faculty who receive support for an international project from an external source (a fellowship, grant or award) may also apply for supplemental Kohler Funds. The maximum award is $1000.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
This award is to support international projects such as distinguished lectureships, faculty community dialogues, guest speaker series, country- or area specific seminars, business outreach programs, etc. Examples of Kohler supported Special Projects include a symposium on contemporary Poland; a colloquium featuring an address by the Finnish Ambassador to the United States; and a Latin American Arts Festival. There is no set dollar limit for the budget request.
STUDENT PROGRAMS
Kohler support is available for international programs conducted on campus by and/or for UNCG students. Applications can be submitted by student groups, faculty members on behalf of students, or a mixture of both. Student programs that have received funding in the past include UNCG Model United Nations Club, language circles, and International House Programs. Strong preference will be given to projects that have matching support from Student Government or other funding agencies. As proposals in this category may range from the modest to the ambitious, there is no set dollar limit for the budget request.
INTERNATIONALIZING THE CURRICULUM
Faculty members (individually or in groups) are invited to apply for Kohler Fund support for projects that introduce new international content into existing courses. Preference will be given to proposals that incorporate International Virtual Learning (IVL) or Collaborative Online International Learning components (COIL).
