International Collaboration Incentive grant eligibility and application Information
The Office of International Programs announces eligibility and application deadline information for the International Collaboration Incentive grant program. This incentive grant recognizes K-State faculty and instructors who have collaborated with an international partner for the first time during the 2018 calendar year.
An incentive of $1,000 will be granted to K-State faculty and instructors fitting the criteria.
Eligibility for the grant is open to K-State tenured, tenure-track faculty or instructors with a regular contract who had their first career publication in peer review journals, book chapters, books or creative work — movies, video, photography, plays, among others forms scholarly activities — in collaboration with one or more faculty member(s) or researcher(s) with a permanent position in a foreign institution as a primary institutional affiliation.
"International collaboration in the form of co-publication or joint scholarly activity is a critical component of internationalization as outlined in K-State 2025," said Marcellus Caldas, assistant provost for international faculty collaboration and educational programs. "The Office of International Programs wants to recognize the achievements of our faculty and instructors and we are excited by this opportunity to support those K-State faculty and instructors who are contributing to our international profile."
The incentive was designed by Office of International Programs and the College International Advisory Committee.
Eligibility: For specific criteria regarding recognition eligibility: faculty status is as defined in the University Handbook. The nomination is for a faculty that published (or developed a creative work) for the first time in international collaboration, and not for a publication (or creative work) developed for the first time with a new international collaborator. If the publication includes many K-State authors, the recognition goes to the first K-State author that is publishing for the first time in an international collaboration.
The contribution had to be published (or developed) between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2018.
An author's contribution while affiliated to another institution does not fit these recognition criteria. The nominee must be an active faculty member at the time of the recognition ceremony to receive this recognition
