David Johnson, Associate Dean for Outreach and Community Development, and Christopher Johnstone, Director of International Initiatives and Relations for the College of Education and Human Development, are pleased to announce a series of small grants to promote international initiatives in the College. Three grants totaling $1,250 each will be awarded to faculty, staff, or students for international research activities.

Faculty and staff interested in travel grants outside of these priorities (such as for international conferences) should consult the Office of International Programs Web site for other opportunities. Details on application procedures and priorities for CEHD grants are found below.
All application materials should be submitted in hard copy to the reception desk in 104 Burton Hall no later than Friday, May 30.
