Central UCIS Funding Opportunities

Hewlett International Grants Program

For international research, curriculum development and travel. Peer-reviewed.

The Hewlett International Grant Program is intended to help Pitt
faculty in the development or completion of international projects.
“International” is defined as relating to another country or culture,
comparative analysis covering more than one country or culture, studies
of international relations or of transnational activities, or studies
which examine global issues. In addition, Hewlett International grants
may support the participation of Pitt faculty in conferences abroad,
regardless of discipline or topic. Hewlett International Grant
proposals are reviewed by an interdisciplinary faculty committee, and
the program is competitive. Grants are awarded twice per year. Learn more >

UCIS Faculty Fellowship Program

For major faculty projects that directly enhance the University´s capabilities in international studies.

The purpose of the UCIS Faculty Fellowship is to enable faculty members
to undertake projects or acquire skills that enhance the University’s
capabilities in some branch of international studies. The Fellowship
does not interrupt the accrual of terms toward a sabbatical. The
Fellowship is awarded in close collaboration between UCIS, the faculty
member, the relevant department chair, and the dean of the relevant
