The Global Innovation Fund supports research that launches new projects, builds international networks, and lays the groundwork for future large-scale initiatives.
Seed Grants: Up to $5,000 for projects limited in scope or just beginning. This can be an opportunity for faculty who wish to add a global dimension to their research for the first time. Open to any discipline and geographic focus.
Development Grants: Up to $15,000 for projects that have already established significant impact. Proposed activities and outputs should clearly build on work already accomplished. Open to any discipline and geographic focus.
UW Global Partner Awards: Up to $20,000 through several official UW Global partner institutions:
