The Canadian Studies Center provides funding in the form of Strategic Partnership Grants (SPGs) to core faculty pursuing collaborative research with Canadian partners. Funded by the Provost and the Dean of International Studies and Programs (ISP), SPGs strengthen strategic partnerships with Canadian universities and promote interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
Grants provide partial support for travel and other costs associated with developing strategic partnerships for MSU faculty and their Canadian partners. The applicant’s college, department, or other unit must contribute at least 20% of the grant amount to demonstrate a shared commitment to developing long term partnerships.
Strategic partnerships may include:
Successful awardees must submit a brief report following their trip describing their activities and next steps.
Faculty interested in applying should contact the Canadian Studies Center directly.
