Faculty
To promote research and curriculum development in international studies at Cornell the Einaudi Center offers a biannual seed grant program. Tenured and tenure-track Cornell faculty are eligible to apply for these grants, as are Programs and Centers within the university, irrespective of their college or school of origin. Deadlines are in August and January every year.
The Einaudi Center also maintains a searchable database of faculty funding opportunities for international research support. Our aim is to focus on opportunities from national and international foundations in addition to opportunities from government agencies. An electronic newsletter is sent out approximately monthly throughout the year that focuses on specific regions, disciplines, and specific topics. Please contact us to subscribe to our newsletter.
Graduate Students
Direct funding for Cornell graduate students is available in the form of International Research Travel Grants sponsored by the Mario Einaudi Center and its constituent Programs. Several forms of additional funding for graduate students are available through the Area Studies Programs. One of these is the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowship. The application deadline for most of these grants and fellowships is in early February.
