Faculty Opportunities

International Graduate Research Fellowships (IGRF)

To enhance already existing international collaborations, the Graduate School encourages faculty members to nominate students for an IGRF to offer students a short-term research experience with partners overseas. Involving graduate students in an existing collaboration can strengthen the activity, provide new perspectives on ongoing projects, and identifynew areas of research.
