University of North Carolina Center for Global Initiatives

The Center for Global Initiatives offers an array of competitive funding opportunities for faculty, students and staff. We are especially keen to increase access to global education opportunities for individuals, groups, units, and disciplines traditionally underrepresented in such intellectual pursuits.

In addition to being UNC’s institutional home of the Fulbright Program, we support curriculum development, field research, international internships, conference participation, pre-dissertation travel, and foreign language training.

We also provide matching funds for innovative projects that expand and amplify the global work of UNC.

In line with the Center's overarching goal, we are especially interested in funding projects that: 

1. carry the potential to reshape intellectual communities; 
2. bridge disciplinary boundaries to generate deliberations with diverse perspectives; 
3. engage external audiences with the knowledge and activities generated at UNC.
