Study Abroad Program Development

If you are interested in developing and leading a study abroad program, please consult the Guidelines for Developing New Study Abroad Programs (PDF). This document contains useful information on designing such programs, as well as details on the approval process.

Research Proposal and Management Service

UCIS offers a Faculty Research Proposal and Management Service that helps faculty in

  • dealing directly with funding agencies on application requirements; drafting budgets;
  • working with the Office of Research; advising on reporting requirements and deadlines; and
  • providing management, budgetary, and support services for funded proposals.

UCIS has developed a broad knowledge of the expectations of the major government agencies and private foundations, and this expertise aids faculty members in their preparation of proposals with international themes.

Fulbright Scholar Program

The Fulbright Scholar Program is administered through the Study Abroad Office, in cooperation with the Center for International Exchange of Scholars in Washington, DC. The Study Abroad Office maintains applications for interested faculty members.

Resources for New Faculty

The Office of the Provost maintains Resources for New Faculty, a website intended to serve as a reference for new faculty. It includes information ranging from academic issues to health and safety issues.

UCIS Faculty Survey Form

Faculty affiliated with UCIS are requested to fill out and submit the UCIS Faculty Survey Form. The data supports UCIS' efforts to obtain and maintain outside funding for international studies.
