UNC-Chapel Hill faculty and graduate students from participating units may apply for the King’s College London Collaboration Grant for support for projects and collaborative events that advance the relationship between UNC and King’s College London.

This grant is supported by the College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office, the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, and participating departments and curricula in the College.

Awards

Support for each funded proposal will typically range between $3,000 and $9,000.

Please note that the grant may not cover all program costs and recipients are responsible to only spend what they have been awarded. We encourage applicants to seek additional sources of support for collaborative workshops and outline them in the proposal.

Application Process

All proposals should be endorsed by the Chair of the applicant’s department or curriculum.

A steering committee consisting of representatives from all participating departments and curricula will review the proposals and determine award levels.
