IGCC Campus Programs

Serving the UC Campuses


IGCC's campus programs promote research, outreach, and training on each UC campus. Through its annual internship, fellowship, and grant competitions, IGCC stimulates both independent and collaborative research among and between faculty and students. IGCC funds have supported research activities for UC undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, visiting scholars, government officials, and the general public.

As the campus programs and the services IGCC provide to them grow and change, IGCC continues to seek innovative partnerships with extramural organizations that will benefit UC students and faculty and provide a bridge between UC scholars and the national and international policy communities.

IGCC's strength as a multi-campus research unit (MRU) serving the University of California lies in the unique contributions of each affiliated campus program and in projects with the UC-managed Lawrence Livermore (LLNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL). Each of these unique campus-based programs supports UC faculty and students through grants, fellowships, research and teaching assistantships, internships, employment opportunities, programming, new major/minor study programs, and the Campus Email Alert. IGCC campus program activities such as lectures, workshops, and seminars involve faculty, students, and community members in debate and discussion on scholarship related to global conflict and cooperation.

IGCC also continues to seek innovative projects in partnership with the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. These partnerships focus on ways to coordinate joint campus/lab events, provide lab-based fellowship opportunities, and encourage faculty and student scholarship exchange with the national laboratories.

Funding Opportunities

IGCC has funded graduate student research and faculty projects throughout the UC system since its inception. Since 1988, IGCC has funded more than 400 individual Ph.D. dissertation fellowships and more than 170 faculty grants through its annual competitions.

Dissertation fellows have come from a range of disciplines, including literature, philosophy, political science, economics, sociology, anthropology, history, communications, legal studies, religious studies, urban development, environmental studies, and energy resources.

IGCC has committed significant resources to faculty research support through competitive research, conference, and teaching grants. These are designed to stimulate independent research and educations projects on international issues of contemporary importance.

In 1998 IGCC began offering summer internships in Washington, D.C. To date, it has sponsored more than 60 summer interns, providing funding and placement help. Additionally, many graduate students find employment as research assistants under IGCC-funded grants.

Steering Committee

The IGCC Campus Programs Coordinator serves as the main liaison between the IGCC central office at UC San Diego and the thirteen members of the Steering Committee. The committee comprises a UC faculty member from each campus, an additional faculty chairperson, and representatives from the UC-managed Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories.

At its spring and fall meetings each year, the committee advises the IGCC director on ongoing programs and future research endeavors and allocates the IGCC fellowship, grant, and campus program awards. Committee members are appointed by the UC Office of the President Office of Research and normally serve three-year terms. Link to information on current Steering Committee members.
