Funding opportunities: International research collaborations

UGA-Bavarian Research Alliance Top-Up Grant

• Application deadline: Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 1 p.m. (Munich, Germany)

The UGA Office of Global Engagement (OGE) is pleased to partner with the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) to launch a BayFOR-UGA Seed Grant program. The purpose of this program is to encourage the development of sustainable international research collaborations among investigators at UGA and investigators at any state university or ecclesiastical university in the Free State of Bavaria.

The partnership involves two steps:

1. UGA faculty interested in this opportunity must first identify and collaborate with colleagues in Bavaria to apply for BayIntAn funding.
2. UGA researchers who are listed as co-principal investigators on a BayIntAn proposal that has been selected for funding may then apply for matching supplemental support through OGE. All supplemental funding decisions are made at UGA’s discretion.

BayIntAn-funded projects can be implemented as of January 1, 2026. To learn more about the BayIntAn program, please visit the Bavarian Research Alliance information page.
