The Atlanta Global Research and Education Collaborative (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.
Next Cycle Dates: TBD
The Atlanta Global Research and Education Collaborative (AGREC) invites scholars to
submit collaborative projects across disciplines, institutions, and universities that
address a need in our global and local communities. This call aims to address topics
with a global connection while being grounded locally. Scholars and practitioners
may examine a local and global problem in the form of research, workshop, forum, training
program or suggest another approach by collaborating with an organization in Atlanta
or a population group that has a global dimension. 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. Housed within
the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC), the AGREC initiative is comprised of six
universities including Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia
State University, Agnes Scott College, Spelman College, and Kennesaw State University.
AGREC intends to grow the collaborative and invites other universities to join this
initiative. To apply, a team must include at least two faculty from two different
AGREC member institutions, and include at least one community partner. A community
partner could be a non-profit organization, a governmental entity, a corporation,
a public or private sector organization, and other entities in Atlanta or other parts
of the world. Teams may include additional faculty members from any university/college
in the Greater Atlanta region. These multi-institutional teams may apply for funding
in the range of $5,000-15,000. Funding preference will be given to innovative, transformative
collaborative research and education projects in global engagement with significant
emphasis on their potential to develop new and strategic sustainable relationships
among partners (e.g. universities, companies, NGOs, community organizations) and their
impact on Atlanta communities.
