Research & Conference Travel Awards for Faculty

DUE TO FEDERAL BUDGET CUTS, THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN SUSPENDED

One of CIBER’s objectives is to encourage research and conference presentations by Smith faculty on “international” topics related to their own disciplines that will further the international competitiveness of United States business. This has become increasingly important given the globalization of business and our own growing international presence. An “international” research project can be a comparative study (e.g., competition policy in the U.S. vs. E.U.) or a cross-national study (e.g., a company’s international joint ventures, global business teams, etc.). Projects which are merely “foreign” (e.g., human resource management practices in Mexico) are ineligible for an award.
