Overview
Type: Vanderbilt Initiative Award (ViA)
The GlobalVU Initiative will support and foster international research by Vanderbilt faculty and graduate
students, bring more foreign scholars to campus and increase our prominence abroad. The initiative will strengthen and nourish existing units engaged in international activity and lower barriers to international work for all units. The core mission will be to enhance the quality of academic research, scholarship and artistic performance in terms of global significance and impact. Its mandate will include identifying Vanderbilt’s existing international strengths, supporting the work of faculty across the institution and connecting Vanderbilt with researchers, policy makers and public intellectuals from around the world to develop and enhance cutting-edge and intellectually diverse research.
