GEO offers a number of funding opportunities to help academic departments fulfill their international goals.
Harris-Manchester College Oxford Summer Research Institute
Funded by the VCU Global Education Office and the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation, the Harris-Manchester Oxford Summer Research Institute is an opportunity for faculty to spend a week away from the usual routine to focus on a scholarly area of interest. Provides travel, as well as room and board.
National Scholarship Office
NSO supports VCU students and alumni who are interested in applying for prestigious national and international scholarships, such as the Fulbright Program.
Fogarty International Center
The Fogarty International Center at NIH offers funding to support global health research. Fogarty also offers a variety of resources for those seeking global health research funding across NIH, and from other organizations.
VCU National/International Recognition Award
The National/International Recognition Award (NIRA) recognizes VCU faculty who were nationally or internationally recognized for exceptional accomplishments during the course of their current evaluation period, performing at the top of their academic unit, and were recommended by their dean. The NIRA includes a financial incentive, which is entirely outside of and separate from the university’s standard performance and compensation review process.
