CILMAR accepting applications for seed grant program

Purdue’s Center for Intercultural Learning, Mentorship, Assessment and Research is inviting applications for funding to support intercultural assessment and research during the 2024-25 academic year.  

The CILMAR Seed Grant Program supports faculty, staff and graduate students who wish to engage in the assessment of intercultural learning outcomes, conduct intercultural competency development studies or generate new intercultural theoretical development but lack the resources to do so. 

Applicants may request seed grants of up to $5,000 for their scholarly projects and are encouraged to seek commitments for matching funds from their unit leadership.

Program details and application instructions and materials are available on CIILMAR’s website. Applications are due March 1.

For more information about the seed grant program, contact cilmar@purdue.edu.
