Einaudi Center for International Studies

Cornell University

Funding Opportunities for Faculty

The Einaudi Center and our nine regional and thematic programs offer hundreds of opportunities for faculty engagement and collaboration each year—including conferences, workshops, research initiatives, and grants.  

We sponsor an annual spring cycle of faculty funding, including targeted support for early-career scholars and seed grants to launch new collaborations. Einaudi Center faculty are deeply engaged with Cornell Global Hubs as faculty leads and funded researchers.
