Proposers must provide a reasonable budget that is aligned with the project’s goals and plan of action. GLCA faculty members may request support for travel, up to four weeks of summer stipend ($600/week), and a small amount for materials (books, videos, etc.). The budget may include a line to cover 7.65% for the employer paid portion of FICA/Medicare on stipends.
Equipment will not be funded. Support for GLCA students includes travel and up to four weeks of summer stipend ($340/week). A summer stipend for a faculty member from a non-U.S. Alliance school can be included, but must be spread across both instructors for a total of no more than four weeks. For example, the U.S. and non-U.S. course partners could each receive two weeks of stipend.
