International Research and Engagement Committee

The International Research and Engagement Committee shall advise on best practices and strategic opportunities in advancing the University’s priorities with respect to international research and engagement in the following areas:

• Faculty research on international subjects or involving international collaboration.

• Student international and collaborative research opportunities (for both graduate and undergraduate students).

• Engagement with campus, Wyoming, national, and international audiences to increase awareness of UW’s international research activities.

• Prestigious international research award opportunities, particularly through Fulbright and similar programs.

• Partnerships and linkages with partners, international and domestic, that advance UW’s international research and engagement objectives.

• Research and engagement opportunities that advance UW’s international standing and global reach.

This committee (or via appointment of a subcommittee) will also serve as the review and selection committee for GEO-operated funding in support of international research, convening separately from regular meetings for funding application review processes. (Determination of award criteria and fund management will remain an internal function of GEO.)

Committee Co-Chairs: Caroline McCracken-Flesher and Stephanie Anderson
