CILMAR accepting applications for seed grant program

Purdue’s Center for Intercultural Learning, Mentorship, Assessment and Research (CILMAR) is inviting applications for its seed grant program.

The CILMAR Seed Grant Program supports faculty, staff and doctoral students who wish to engage in the assessment of intercultural learning outcomes, conduct studies of intercultural competency development and/or generate new intercultural theoretical development but lack the resources to do so. Applicants may request seed grants from $500 to $5,000 and are encouraged to seek commitments for matching funds from their unit leadership. Seed grants are not meant to cover or reduce the cost of study abroad travel, although travel for other purposes (such as data collection, data analysis, or conference presentations) may be allowable.

More information about the program and applying is available here. The application, which is due March 24, is available here.

An informational meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on Feb. 27. The meeting will involve an introduction of the application process, what applicants can expect, and what requirements and deadlines are involved. More information about the informational meeting is available here.

For more information about the seed grant program, contact Lan Jin, CILMAR intercultural research specialist, at lanjin@purdue.edu.
