Hewlett International Grant Program- Major Impact Spring 2025

One Hewlett International Grant per year  will be awarded for a project that demonstrates an impact on the international profile of the University of Pittsburgh or addresses strategic global priorities in the Plan for Pitt, including team-based research projects related to global issues/themes.  Major Impact Grants may be used to advance a team-based research project through initial stages in preparation for writing proposals for external funding or for other forms of research, teaching, curriculum development, or publications that will have significant impact on the University's international profile. Awards of up to $15,000 may be made. 

Note: Conference Travel related to the presentation of a paper is not eligible for a Major Impact Grant; however, organization of a national or international conference or workshop on an international topic is an eligible activity.

Please note: This application requires that you upload multiple pieces of supporting documentation, notably the Hewlett Budget Spreadsheet, evidence of Institutional Review Board clearance (if relevant), an 1100-word proposal narrative, and documentation of up to three quotes on travel costs (optional).  Preparing those documents in advance will likely simplify the application process for you.  You can save your application mid-stream and then return to it before final submission.
