Our faculty are dedicated to conducting research to enhance the experience of our Incoming Exchange Students, Outgoing Exchange Students, as well as our full-time international students. Below you will find guidelines for faculty research projects as well as required forms for grants and other forms of research financing.

International Collaboration Grants (ICGs) are intended to foster collaboration between FMU faculty and faculty at international exchange partners. The quality of the proposal and supporting materials must be sufficient to convince the International Programs committee that the project is worthy of support.  In evaluating applications, the International Programs Committee will consider (but is not limited to) the following criteria:

• Proposals for research leading to publication (or its equivalent) to be done in conjunction with faculty of our international exchange partners.
• Proposals to travel for a meeting to initiate a research project between FMU faculty and faculty at our international exchange partners.
• Proposals for travel to a location other than one of our exchange partners for research in conjunction with faculty at our exchange partners.
• Proposals for funding of resources (student workers, equipment, software, etc.) to facilitate a research project in conjunction with faculty at our international exchange partners.
• Proposals involving a teaching exchange between an FMU faculty member and a faculty member at one of our international exchange partners.
