Deadlines
Assuming funding remains available, the triennial dates to apply for an IFP are:
- Proposal Submission Date #1: October 15 (proposal due to your Chair / Program Director / Supervisor by October 8)
- Proposal Submission Date #2: February 15* (proposal due to your Chair / Program Director / Supervisor by February 8)
- Proposal Submission Date #3: June 15* (proposal due to your Chair / Program Director / Supervisor by June 8)
* If funding is still available
Proposals will be reviewed by a committee of UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff with expertise or experience in collaborative research abroad and international education. The total number of programs funded depends on the number of applicants and quality of proposals. Academic Affairs will confirm awards several weeks following the application deadline.
Eligibility
The International Fellows Program is open to current UW-Eau Claire faculty and academic staff with 0.50 FTE or greater appointments as well as emeriti UWEC faculty / staff (after they have been retired for at least 75 days). Student researchers must be degree-seeking undergraduate students at UW-Eau Claire at the time of application and throughout the research project. Graduate students are not eligible for this Blugold Commitment funding. At least one student on the research team must have a minimum of one additional semester at UW-Eau Claire after the project is completed to help disseminate research on campus and to ensure research is completed. First-time applications are encouraged and will be given preference. The receipt of funding one year does not guarantee funding in future years. Interested faculty and academic staff are encouraged to apply for other Blugold Commitment-funded immersion programs; however, each program proposal should be unique and date and time conflicts across the programs must be avoided.
