Applications open for Office of International Programs' Research and Scholarship Connections Travel Grant to Taiwan

With the world open and hungry for solutions, it is time for Auburn to create the future we wish to see through our research, scholarship and innovation. That’s why the Office of International Programs, or OIP, is helping faculty make the connections they need to further world-class research on the international stage.

The Research and Scholarship Connections Travel Grant leverages Auburn’s strongest international partnerships to foster collaborations across disciplines. Faculty benefit from OIP’s contacts and logistical expertise as well as the security and longevity of relationships formed at the university level.

The summer 2023 Research and Scholarship Connections Travel Grant will provide group travel to visit Taipei and Tainan, Taiwan. Travel will take place May 12-20, and selected faculty members will visit National Cheng Kung University, National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences and National Taipei University of Technology. Any current Auburn faculty member with a specific interest in collaborative research or scholarship with these partners in particular or Taiwan in general is welcome to apply.

Applications are due by March 17.
