The Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) invites ideas for new projects around the theme of Oceans. The Ideas Grants aims to spark fresh conversations and research collaborations across campus. Projects and outputs may take any form that encourages new synergies across existing campus strengths. Application teams must include at least one core faculty whose chief research specialization is East or Southeast Asia. Up to three grants of $5,000 - $7,500 will be awarded. Preference will be given to pitches and proposals that open up new channels of communication across disciplines, perspectives, and career stages. Collaborations between humanists, social scientists and natural scientists are especially encouraged.
