On a yearly basis, Penn Global welcomes proposals from faculty and staff who seek support for their global research and engagement activities. Penn Global is now accepting new expressions of interest for Research Grants, with an application deadline of October 9. Penn Global research grants support a range of research, teaching, service, and other activities that focus on topics related to areas outside of the United States which may be national, regional, transregional, or global in nature. Projects must also advance Penn’s global engagement and align with grant program priorities.

Additionally, proposals for Convening Grants for spring semester events will be accepted through October 1. Convening grants are open to Penn faculty and staff as well as Penn graduate students, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers.

Those with any questions about applying to either or both funding streams are welcome to contact Penn Global at global@upenn.edu.
