Course Development Grants for Faculty at Minority-Serving Institutions

The Carolina Asia Center is committed to supporting the teaching of Asia to all students across North Carolina, including at minority-serving institutions that do not have available resources to develop Asian studies teaching and/or research. As a concrete way to strengthen Asian studies and generate debate about Asia in diverse university classrooms across the state, the CAC is making available course development grants of up to $1000 to faculty at minority-serving institutions to add new courses on Asia, to add Asia content to existing courses, or to further develop Asia-related programs for their campuses.

Research Expansion to Southeast Asia Awards

These funds are intended to allow faculty whose research is located in a geographical domain outside of Southeast Asia to expand their work into the region or with populations associated with the region. These funds are appropriate for, for example, a historian of Europe who wants to investigate linkages with Southeast Asia at a particular period in history or a public health researcher who has worked with Latinx communities in NC and wants to extend an intervention to Southeast Asian American populations. This award is open to faculty members of any rank at any UNC system institution. Each award is in the amount of $4,000.

Community-Faculty Southeast Asia Partnership Awards

These funds are meant to sponsor activities that benefit both theoretical inquiry and community needs. Applications must be submitted by a community-faculty team that features at least one community member and one faculty member of any rank at any UNC system institution. Each award is in the amount of $5,000.
