This solicitation addresses opportunities for international research and education for early career stages of scientists and engineers, i.e., as undergraduates and graduate students.
The program is funded by the National Science Foundation through James Madison University. The primary goal of this program is to provide opportunities to motivated undergraduates to carry out carefully selected research projects in sub-Sahara Africa and to extend the educational experiences at the global level. Research projects will focus on ecology, conservation and environmental science including bioprospecting (screening for useful plants).
RISE gives students in the fields of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Geology and Physics the chance to spend a summer working with German doctoral students on serious research projects. The doctoral students help integrate the undergraduate directly into the lab work and serve as personal and professional mentors. All participants receive stipends from DAAD to help cover living expenses, and the partner universities and research institutions provide housing assistance.
This small grant program is designed to promote study of cultural, political, historical, economic, and social aspects of modern and contemporary German affairs from an inter- and multi-disciplinary perspective
Phi Kappa Phi Study Abroad Grants are designed to help support undergraduates as they seek knowledge and experience in their academic fields by studying abroad. Fifty $1,000 grants are awarded each year.
