The Halle Institute for Global Research has two open grant opportunities for faculty with upcoming application deadlines. Please review the grant summaries below and visit our website for more details.
We encourage globally focused proposals from researchers in every school and discipline to apply. As always, please reach out to us with any questions.
University of Bonn (Germany): Collaborative Research Grant
This Collaborative Research Grant program fosters international research and engagement between Emory University’s Halle Institute for Global Research and Learning, and the University of Bonn. Applicants from all schools and disciplines are encouraged to submit funding applications for innovative and sustainable projects built around collaborative research linking faculty at the University of Bonn and Emory University. The research may take place in any country or region as long as it is done collaboratively. The expectation is that these initial projects will lead to or continue long-term collaborations, institutional and research relations, and when applicable, generate publications, exhibitions, and/or external funding. Applications that include students are encouraged but not required.
One application will be funded (each with two principal investigators: one from the University of Bonn and one from Emory University) with a project starting date of January 1, 2026. Each application will receive up to USD15,000 and EUR13,000 Euros from their respective institution, for a total of up to approx. USD30,000. These funds must be used for research (broadly defined) and follow the budget guidelines outlined in the detailed application instructions.
