The new Global Catalyst Program, a joint effort of UT’s Center for International Education and Office of Research and Engagement, will provide funding for faculty-led partnerships with international universities, institutions of higher education, and research institutes.

The Ready for the World program has been restructured to create this new grant program.

The program will make annual awards to UT Knoxville and UT Institute of Agriculture faculty who are interested in establishing institutional partners in a dozen thematic areas based on UT’s strengths and international needs.
