Small Grants - The Hollings Center (original) (raw)
To deepen the impact of its dialogue programs, the Hollings Center awards small grants and fellowships to selected dialogue participants* for collaborative follow-on initiatives involving research, professional development and exchanges.
What do we fund?
Proposed small grant projects expand upon the Hollings Center’s program topics and mission through collaborative, cross-cultural pursuits that produce innovative deliverables. The Hollings Center awards these small grants to past dialogue participants only. Examples of initiatives that we fund include:
- Follow-up events on a theme that was addressed at a Hollings Center dialogue, but was not covered in sufficient depth;
- Pilot exchanges or fellowships designed to foster exchanges (between students, faculty, experts, and/or institutions)
- Research that will inform policy (with policy-relevant deliverables).
