Global Collaborative Networks Fund
The Global Collaborative Networks Fund supports the development of international scholarly networks that engage Princeton with centers of learning worldwide. GCNF grants are available to build and sustain scholarly collaborations that promote career development in an international context for Princeton scholars at all levels of seniority. The overall goal is to enhance Princeton-based scholars' efforts to design and participate in global networks by offering resources for the creation and expansion of international collaboration.
The Global Collaborative Networks Fund acknowledges the plurality of approaches to global network building; whole styles and foundations vary by discipline, topic and world region. No particular approach to global collaboration is advocated.
Proposals may come from individual faculty members or groups of faculty, but should have a Princeton faculty member as Principal Investigator. For more information on submitting a proposal view the call for proposals (.pdf).
