Funding Opportunities for
University of California Faculty
IGCC has funded graduate student research and faculty projects throughout
the UC system since its inception. Since 1988, IGCC has funded more
than 170 faculty grants through its annual competitions.
The Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC) offers support for
University of California faculty research projects. Last year, a total of
$100,000 was distributed
to successful faculty grant applicants across the UC system. The maximum
annual support for individual faculty grants is $20,000. The maximum annual
support for collaborative
multi-campus faculty grants is $40,000. Collaboration must be with another
UC campus to be eligible for the $40,000 award.
The faculty grant proposals are evaluated on their quality and on their relevance
to IGCC's goal of understanding international conflict and promoting cooperation
among nations in political, economic, and environmental affairs. IGCC seeks
projects that provide innovative approaches to international cooperation and
conflict resolution.
"Public Policy and Biological Threats" is a two-week training program
in residence at UC San Diego. The program is funded by a generous grant from
the
Carnegie Corporation of New York.
This progressive training module fosters a dynamic and multidisciplinary learning
environment for private industry professionals, community leaders, and government
officials as well as junior faculty, Ph.D., and professional-school students
in the University of California system. Our mission is to provide a collaborative
environment for our Biosecurity Fellows to efficiently analyze and/or develop
policy responses to the threat of bioterrorism.
Full funding is available for
UC or RAND Ph.D. students, UC faculty, and UC post-docs and includes program
curriculum, travel, lodging, and meals. We
anticipate some funding will be available to provide assistance to participants
from outside
the UC system.
If you are interested in applying for the 2008 boot camp or would like more

For UC Graduate Students, Post-Docs, and Professionals Interested in Nuclear Policy
The Public Policy and Nuclear Threats
course is designed to cover important issues in U.S. nuclear strategy and
policy, supported by an understanding of
the scientific foundations of this policy. This course aims to give participants
the knowledge and analytic tools to contribute to the debate on future U.S.
nuclear policy.
The course includes lectures, discussions,
and debates on a wide range of issues. During
each week, participants will attend talks by distinguished researchers
from academia and the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories,
observe roundtable discussions with leading governmental and non-governmental
experts,
and enjoy events with current and former government officials responsible
for nuclear policy.
The course is broken into three one-week modules. Participants may choose to attend any or all of the modules.
