April 14, 2015, Volume 61, No. 30 |
In conjunction with the opening of the Penn Wharton China Center (Almanac March 17, 2015), the Provost’s Office is proud to announce the launch of the Penn China Research & Engagement Fund. The Penn China Research & Engagement Fund is a competitive grant program designed to stimulate and support activity in China and engagement with the Penn Wharton China Center.
The primary goals of the fund are:
• To develop new, or strengthen existing, institutional and faculty-to-faculty relationships with Chinese partners.
• To highlight the Penn Wharton China Center as a preeminent space in China for knowledge exchange and professional consultation.
• To support outstanding research projects from across the University that are poised to make significant contributions to their field.
• To increase the study and understanding of China at Penn and create opportunities for meaningful student engagement.
Up to $2 million will be awarded through the Fund this year to support research, conferences and other activities in conjunction with Chinese counterparts that utilize the facilities and support the Penn Wharton China Center. All Penn faculty and senior administrators are eligible to apply. Statements of interest are due by April 28, 2015.
