Grant for International Research
SIRE grants fund Emory College students for domestic and international research. The international grants are jointly funded by the Office of Undergraduate Education and CIPA. The SIRE Grants provide research support for projects related to students’ academic work, whether for a course, an honors project, or independent work under the supervision of a faculty mentor.
Grants are available to students in any field; students may receive up to $4000 for international research. This research could come out of a study abroad program attended, be the consequence of a course taken on campus, or may have arisen while “community serving” in the Atlanta community or abroad.
For more information and to apply, students go to the Office of Undergraduate SIRE website.
Science Research Abroad (IRES and DAAD RISE Programs)
International Research Experience for Science Students (IRES)
The SIRE International Research Experience for Science Students (IRES) program provides summer grants for students working in a science laboratory in another country. The program is co-funded by the SIRE/IRES program and CIPA. The goal is to give students a research experience similar to one that they could have on a US campus but in an international location. Students may not apply directly, but must be nominated by their department.
To apply, students complete the new online IRES application form.
For program details, please visit SIRE/IRES website and the Science Experience Abroad website through the Office of Undergraduate Education.
DAAD RISE (Research Internship in Science and Engineering) Program
A similar program is available to participate in scientific research in Germany through the German Academic Exchange (DAAD). Students submit an application through the SIRE/IRES program and indicate their interest in participating in DAAD RISE.
For details on application materials and program details, please visit SIRE/IRES website through the Office of Undergraduate Education.
Independent Undergraduate Projects Abroad
As Emory College continues to emphasize undergraduate research and service, as well as general internationalization, academic departments are increasingly sponsoring Emory undergraduates to engage in independent activities abroad (independent study, undergraduate research, service-learning, and/or academic internships). In order for Emory College to respond quickly to situations such as international crises or natural disasters that may jeopardize our student’s well-being and to assist all of our students in the relevant locations, CIPA maintains a central registry. CIPA keeps records of what students are doing abroad, where they are, for which time period they are abroad and who the multiple national and overseas contacts are. Students will also be provided with a supplementary health insurance through CIPA. This registry aims at keeping track of Emory College students receiving credit or financial support from their departments. In the event of a crisis, CIPA can coordinate Emory College’s response, assisting the administration and departments as appropriate. In such circumstances, CIPA will also serve as the College’s primary contact for the families of students and for the media.
To register with CIPA, students complete the new online registration form.
Emory Global Health Field Scholar Awards
The Emory Global Health Institute funds three field scholarship programs for which Emory undergraduates may be eligible to apply. The three types of GHI Field Scholars are (1) Individual Field Scholars, (2) Team Field Scholars, and (3) Partner Site Field Scholars.
The global health experience can happen in any country, including the U.S. The determining factor is that the experience be with a vulnerable and underserved population. The student must justify the experience and the population. For additional information please see the Global Health Institute’s website: http://www.globalhealth.emory.edu/fundingOpportunities/globalLearning.php
Details on the three possible projects:
-
Individual Field Scholars conduct individual global health projects in collaboration with an international or local in-country partner
-
Team Field Scholars conduct global health projects in teams of not more than four students in collaboration with an international or local in-country partner
-
Partner Site Field Scholars conduct global health projects jointly identified by Emory and GHI partner sites in teams of not more than five students at GHI partner site locations
