Proposals

Junior Faculty Development Program – provides university instructors with a semester-long opportunity to expand their knowledge and expertise in their academic field by attending classes and working with faculty members at universities in the United States.

Higher Education for Development (HED) – in cooperation with USAID requests applications for a partnership in Malawi.  HED anticipates making an award of $200,000 for a 3 year partnership.

Paid International Internships with the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (IAIP) – IAIP is looking for a few outstanding senior and graduate level college and university students to work in their overseas offices to promote U.S. agricultural interests for summer 2008.

Request for Financial Support of International Conferences – A modest amount of money is available through the International Council to support small conferences involving leading experts on important topics of current scholarly interest that have a substantive international content.  The source of these funds is an endowment initiated by a grant from the Hewlett Foundation that was matched by private donations and university funds.  The intent is to foster conferences where 6-8 leading figures in the selected area participate in presentations and discussions for 2-3 days on campus.  It is encouraged that some of these leading figures be from countries other than the U.S.

Dry Grain Pulses Collaborative Research Support Program (Pulse CRSP) – invitation for multi-disciplinary collaborative research, institutional capacity building and outreach projects addressing constraints of bean and cowpea value-chains.

Grants

William and Flora Hewlett International Research Travel Grants – Research travel grants will again be offered by the International Council to be used in the summer of 2008 or parts of the 2008-2009 academic year.  Grants range from $1,000- $4,000 per award.
