Atlanta Global Research and Education (AGREC) "Global at Home" Call for Proposals

The (AGREC) seeks to build and strengthen collaborative networks of multi-institutional scholars and practitioners to support global research and education initiatives in the Greater Atlanta region.  This is in part accomplished through AGREC  "Global at Home" project funding. Housed within the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC), the AGREC initiative launched in 2020 and is currently comprised of seven universities including Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Agnes Scott College, Spelman College, 网红头条, and Clark Atlanta University.  

Through "Global at Home," AGREC invites scholars to submit collaborative project proposals across disciplines, institutions, and universities that address a need in our global and local communities. The focus is on impacting topics that have a global connection while being grounded locally. Scholars and practitioners may examine and impact a global problem on the local level through research, workshops, a forum, training programs, or they may suggest other approaches through their collaboration with an Atlanta organization or a population group that has a global dimension.

"Global at Home" requires a team of at least two faculty from two different AGREC member institutions, as well as at least one community partner. A community partner may be a non-profit organization, a governmental entity, a corporation, a public or private sector organization, or another entity in Atlanta or another part of the world.  Teams may include additional faculty members from any university/college in the Greater Atlanta region.  Funding preference will be given to innovative, transformative, collaborative research and education projects in global engagement with significant emphasis on their (1) potential to develop new and strategic sustainable relationships among partners (e.g. universities, companies, NGOs, community organizations) and (2) impact on Atlanta communities.

Multi-institutional teams may apply for funding in the range of $5,000-$20,000, to be expended by August 14, 2026.
