The two grants are:
The World in the Classroom: Course Internationalization Incentive
Awards
This grant initiative provides funds for faculty to infuse an international
perspective into traditionally "noninternational" courses.
Awards of $1,000 to $3,000 will be granted for projects by faculty
members from any discipline who propose, either individually or collectively,
to add international components to an existing non-internationally
themed course.
2006 Faculty International Development Grant
The international development grant is awarded for faculty proposals
that have the potential to enhance international education and
promote international awareness at SFSU through research and scholarship
and/or creative activities. Grants of $1,000 to $4,000 will be
based on the merits of proposals, financial need and availability
of funds.
Applications are available in room 450 of the Administration building
or found at: www.sfsu.edu/~oip/faculty/facultywelcome.htm
The deadline for both grants is 5 p.m. March 15. For details, contact
