Last call for research proposals

Proposals for the Fifth Annual International Research Travel Awards are due by 11:59 p.m. PT, November 15,.

The Office of International Programs and the Office of Research sponsors the collaborative program and will fund International Research Travel Awards (IRTA) to WSU full-time faculty ranging from $2,000-$5,000 each. The IRTAs are being offered to assist research faculty in strengthening international collaborative linkages and to enhance significant scholarly and research impact aligned with WSU’s strategic priorities.

These awards are to assist faculty in achieving tangible outcomes e.g. joint publications or research proposals. The awards are intended for research related activities that will advance the faculty member’s scholarly program. The International Research Travel Award Request for Proposals is now online at https://ip.wsu.edu/scholars-abroad/documents/2016/01/irta-travel-award.pdf.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the International Programs Office at ip.irta@wsu.edu.
