French Project Coordinator

Please provide the name and contact information of the primary point of contact at your institution. 

Please describe in detail the proposed study-abroad program and how your institutions will work together to implement this program and achieve its objectives. This should include the following key elements:

• The program's goals and objectives.
• How the program will increase the flow of inbound and/or outbound students between the partner institutions.
• The activities that will take place during the program.
• The imagined impact of the project. 
• How the program will help to achieve diversity and inclusion in study abroad.

Funding is a one-time allocation, but the program is not viewed as a one-year project. With this incentive grant, the French Embassy aims at long-term changes, such as promoting the integration of study-abroad programs into the main missions of the institutions (teaching, learning, research). Institutions must provide a Sustainability Plan, answering the following questions, to assure program longevity:

• How do you intend to assure the program's longevity after the grant period? How will you continue to operate and/or grow your study abroad programming? 
• How will the two partner institutions continue to collaborate?
• What are the expected long-term outcomes on your institutions’ internationalization efforts? (i.e. increase international academic exchange and unlock new opportunities, create new study-abroad infrastructure, increase support and awareness for study-abroad programs, etc.)
• Describe any current and/or future efforts to broaden and expand your partnership through future activities and collaborations (i.e. study abroad curriculum integration).

Please fill in the budget chart below and provide more details in the textbox budget narrative.

The budget narrative details the expenses in each budget category, and which budget items will be covered by the grant, and which ones will be covered by matching funds (e.g., cost-share). The descriptions in the narrative should match the items in the budget chart. 

Overhead costs cannot be included in the funding.

*Detail salary, fringe, any consultant or subcontractor costs.

**Indirect costs represent the expenses of doing business that are not directly tied to a particular project function or activity. They can only be applied to cost-sharing.

Please provide the following documents to complete your application:

• A letter of support from the U.S. institution’s leadership.
• A letter of support from the French institution’s leadership.
• A CV or brief bio for each project coordinator.
• Optional: we will accept additional attachments that may help to further elaborate on your proposed programs, such as a detailed timeline, itinerary, marketing materials, etc.

All requested documents should be combined as a single PDF document, arranged in that order.
