Support of the Division of International, Comparative and Area Studies (ICA) would provide core funding to strengthen existing programs, help create new ones where needed, enhance interaction among faculty and students and facilitate collaboration with other university programs, such as the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies.
Funds would be focused on important needs that must be filled, on activities that promise to affect the broadest range of faculty and students, and on activities that offer high leverage by encouraging communication and collaboration. Such activities include visiting scholars; research networks linking internal and external faculty and students; seminars, symposia and conferences; curriculum development; research initiatives on key topics and support for our students - the next generation of scholars and policy-makers.
