Overview
Notre Dame Global is pleased to relaunch the International Research Travel Grant program. The goal of the program is to act as a catalyst for international research collaborations by funding faculty to explore, develop, or advance long-term research collaborations.
Funds can be used to cover travel expenses for individual faculty.
Eligibility/Requirements
Full-time regular members of the Notre Dame faculty, library faculty and special professional faculty are eligible to apply.
The program can support faculty of all ranks but also is intended to help faculty who may have access to fewer resources for building international research partnerships.
Faculty are not eligible to receive a grant in two consecutive years.
Funding
Funding requests can be made up to $4,000 and can be used to cover travel, visas, accommodation and meals.
Application Guidelines
To request funding from the International Research Travel Grant program, please submit a proposal to NDG’s submissions manager.
Each application should include the following:
- Proposal title, amount being requested, project investigator (PI) name, department/center/institute affiliation, and email.

Proposal Description (up to 1500 words) should include:
- a summary of the research or creative project,
