For Faculty

You’re at the heart of our international efforts

Our faculty and visiting scholars lead the way in our efforts to promote global engagement. We support international research and teaching through partnerships and exchange programs with institutions of higher education overseas, tools for navigating the policies and procedures governing international activities, and various grants, including those to help you develop study abroad programs or bring distinguished visitors to campus.

Always global

Even during a time of restricted mobility, engage with the world from home.

OVPIA funding opportunities

The pandemic has disrupted many plans and programs for international engagement, and we are all eager for them to get back on track. In the meantime, we’re working on innovative ways to foster and promote international collaborations this year.
