Funding, News and Announcements

Academics Without Borders is seeking proposals for capacity building projects in institutions of higher education in low- or medium-development countries. A grant of up to $10,000 will be awarded to one project to be carried out beginning in 2016, which will develop the capacity of tertiary-level institutions in a developing country to produce graduates that can aid that country’s development.

Academics Without Borders carries out its mission by supporting strategic projects in higher education institutions in developing countries and working with people there who are initiating and sustaining institutional growth and change. It does this by sending academic volunteers, including active and retired staff, faculty, and administrators from Canada and other countries, to support these local initiatives.

Any Dalhousie faculty member interested in this opportunity is asked to contact the International Research Facilitator (jennifer.morawiecki@dal.ca) for a copy of the competition guidelines.

Deadline: 15 December 2015
