Proposals

The France Chicago Center will consider providing support to student and faculty initiatives that are consistent with its mission.  Requests should be made to the program that most closely matches the proposed project's disciplinary focus and purpose. 

FACCTS (France and Chicago Collaborating in the Sciences) is a new program designed to enhance science at the University of Chicago by encouraging closer relations between researchers in PSD and BSD and high-level research teams and institutions of higher education in France. It seeks to accomplish this goal by offering seed funding for new projects that promote meaningful academic and scientific exchange, and that show promise of leading to fruitful and sustainable collaboration. Deadline is November 16 for projects taking place in the next calendar year.  Click here for more information.

The deadlines for major funding (up to $5000) is January 16 of the fiscal year prior to the FY in which the project will take place. There is no deadline for awards up to $1500.  Click here for more information or to submit a proposal.
