Other funding for UNC-CH faculty

Besides our conference travel grants, language instructor professional development grants, and course development grants, the Carolina Asia Center may be able to provide other funding in support of UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, for events such as speakers, film screenings, and virtual conferences.

Unfortunately, there is no provision made in the Carolina Asia Center’s federal funding for direct research support. Faculty working specifically on modern India may apply to the research funds from the Modern Indian Studies Initiative, and faculty working on Southeast Asia may apply to the research funds from the Bringing Southeast Asia Home initiative.

Please note that any travel must comply with the Fly America Act for use of the CAC’s federal funding. Also please note that accommodation should be within the published GSA rates for use of the CAC’s federal funding.
