FIU CIBER is pleased to announce the 2009 Faculty Research
Awards and the CIBER Working Paper Series.
Faculty Research Awards $3000 will be awarded
based on research (in the early conceptual stages or in progress)
involving international research questions. Preference will
be given to those whose research mirrors CIBER's Congressional
mandates:
- Collaborative programs, activities, or
research involving other institutions of higher education,
local educational agencies, professional associations, businesses,
firms or combinations to promote the development of international
skills and awareness.
- Research designed to strengthen and improve
the international aspects of business and professional education
and to promote integrated curricula.
- Research designed to promote the international
competitiveness of American businesses and firms, including
those not currently active in international trade.
- Interdisciplinary programs which incorporate
foreign languages and international studies and training
into business and other professional curricula.
- Interdisciplinary programs which provide
business and other professional training for foreign language
and international studies faculty and degree candidates.
- Programs, such as intensive language,
available to members of the business community and other
professionals.
In addition, Congress has authorized 2 Invitational Priorities:
- Programs or activities focused on homeland
security and US international competitiveness issues.
- Innovative approaches to improving the
teaching of foreign languages in a business or professional
context, including the less commonly taught languages.
FIU CIBER has distilled these broad Congressional mandates
into the following two categories, and if your research pertains
to these, you should consider applying for one of the grants:
- Improving US International Competitiveness
in Today's World of Heightened Security.
- Using Languages and Technology Wisely
in International Business: Improving K-12, University and
Organizational Absorption.
Although preference will be given to research on the above
topics, other research proposals loosely linked to these will
be considered for funding. We would like to encourage applications
by faculty interested in international research, who are working
jointly with colleagues abroad (particularly our dual degree
partner schools).
Proposals for funding
should be 1-5 pages, with budgetary requirements. Proposals
are due: May 15, 2009 with funding decisions made by May 29th.
