Funding Opportunities

CAFNR International Collaborations Grant Program

The CAFNR International Collaborations Grant was conceived to stimulate CAFNR faculty’s international activities that enhance the teaching, research and/or outreach mission of the college. Because we know of instances where international experiences have been “life-changing experiences” for faculty and students, CAFNR International Programs (CIP) organizes the dean’s annual support and donor’s generous gifts to:

  1. Enhance promising collaborations, and/or
  2. Stimulate value-added activity in existing collaborations that might generate added funding or “next-level” activity on a “priority issue.”

At the beginning of each semester, faculty members make the case for their project in up to three pages.
