Seed Grant Competition

The Einaudi Center announces a biannual seed grant program designed to advance international studies at Cornell. 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.

Fulbright Eligibility

Applicants must:

• Be U.S. citizens at the time of application. Permanent residents are not eligible.
• Hold a B.A. degree or the equivalent before the start of the grant.
• Be in good health. Grantees will be required to submit a satisfactory Medical Certificate of Health from a physician.
• Have sufficient proficiency in the written and spoken language of the host country to communicate with the people and to carry out the proposed study. This is especially important for projects in the social sciences and the humanities.

Applicants may hold a J.D. degree at the time of application, but not a doctorate.

M.D.s or medical students or the equivalent (e.g, D.D.S, O.D.) who wish to continue medical or hospital training or to obtain practical clinical experience should apply to IIE. However, M.D.s who have completed formal postgraduate training and propose attachment to a hospital or clinic for independent or collaborative research should apply to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars.
