MIT-Israel Seed Funds for Faculty Collaboration 2025-2026 Call for Proposals

The MIT Center for International Studies is pleased to announce the opening of the 2025–2026 Global Seed Funds (GSF) cycle, with applications due on December 16, 2025. The program supports early-stage collaborations between MIT faculty and international researchers, providing up to $30,000 to help teams meet in person, develop joint projects, and build long-term partnerships. Many projects funded through GSF have led to publications, new grant awards, and lasting academic collaborations. MIT faculty are strongly encouraged to involve undergraduate and graduate students as active members of their teams.

Applications can be submitted through the MISTI Faculty Funds Portal. For additional details, please visit the Faculty Funds FAQ.
