International Dimension.

Feasibility. 
Is the project practical and cost effective?

Impact. 
By what means will you determine if the project’s goals have been met? If appropriate, what plans are there for the dissemination of the results or outcomes of the project?

Project Budget
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.
