International Programs (INPR) has developed and coordinated UNO's international projects and student and faculty exchanges since 1973.
The UNO Global Grants unit partners with the Office of Research and Creative Activity (ORCA) to support and oversee internationally centered sponsored programs administered by INPR and UNO Departments.
Currently, many of the programs are sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and involve international exchange mobility between the university and institutions from foreign countries.
The Global Grants unit supports faculty and staff with the grant application, implementation, and evaluation process.
Raising Awareness About Global Grants
INPR's partnerships with UNO's six colleges are vital for a thriving Global Grants unit as sponsors value partnerships with grant applications.
