Einaudi Center announces winners of seed grant competition

Posted on: 10/6/2009

The Einaudi Center has awarded four seed grants to faculty from the Colleges of Human Ecology, Arts and Sciences, and Agriculture and Life Sciences as part of the Summer 2009 Seed Grant Competition.

Faculty members from three colleges submitted 8 proposals from a broad spectrum of academic disciplines related to international studies on campus. In addition to being related to the Center’s two current initiatives - foreign policy and international development - selections were based on the project’s proposed potential to advance research by junior faculty; to generate additional external funding; to bring long-term discernable benefits to international studies at Cornell; and to conform to the highest academic standards.


We are pleased to announce the following seed grant awards:


·     Juan P. Hinestroza (Fiber Science, College of Human Ecology): Enabling the Use of Renewable, Sustainable, and Native Cellulosic Materials from the Amazon Rainforest and the Argentinean Wetlands into High Performance Applications [$10,000]


·     Sarah E. Kreps (Government, College of Arts and Sciences): The Price is Wrong: When and Why Great Powers Underestimate the Cost of War [$8,000]


·     Bruce V. Lewenstein (Communication, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences): Planning Grant Science Communication Research and Training in India [$4,500]


·     Dagmawi Woubshet (English, College of Arts and Sciences): Looking for the Dead: AIDS, Poetics and Politics [$4,500]


Summaries of seed grant proposals will be available on the Einaudi website (click here) in the coming weeks. Faculty are expected to use the awards within the following year to mobilize additional external support for their projects. The Einaudi Center will work closely with the faculty to support these efforts. Detailed information regarding the next seed grant competition with the deadline of February 15, 2009, will be available on the website later this spring (click here).
