Launched in August 2014, proposals for the second round of Global Innovation Initiative (GII) grants are due on October 31, 2014. GII is a higher education grant competition created to strengthen higher education research partnerships between the United States, the United Kingdom and four other countries: Brazil, China, India, and Indonesia. This initiative provides exciting grant opportunities for post-secondary educational partnerships on topics of global significance in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in the following four areas: energy, climate change and the environment; urban development; agriculture, food security and water; and global health. Accredited U.S. post-secondary educational institutions are invited to apply for one of approximately six grants of up to $200,000 each, and must apply together with at least one higher education partner in the UK, and one in Brazil, China, India, and/or Indonesia. For more information about the initiative and how to apply, please visit www.iie.org/GII.
IIE will be holding two informational webinars for applicants to the U.S. competition on September 23, 2014 (2:00pm and 4:00pm EST). U.S. lead institutions and their partners are encouraged to join one of these webinars, during which applicants will have an opportunity to ask questions about the application process. To register, please visit the GII website.
