DUMESC CO-SPONSORSHIP POLICY:
DUMESC, in conjunction with the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies, welcomes proposals from Duke units and organizations seeking support for projects or events that increase awareness of the histories and cultures of the Middle East. We are open to requests from faculty, staff, and student organizations.
Funding for projects that meet this goal will not normally exceed $250, and the amount of support the Center offers should be matched by funds from at least one other unit on campus. To encourage interdisciplinary work, preference is given to proposals that involve more than one department or school. Also, we look favorably upon proposals that engage faculty, students, and staff, and we discourage using funds to purchase food. Projects must be organized by a person or unit affiliated with Duke.
There is no deadline for submitting a funding request.
To apply for funding, please complete the Duke-UNC Consortium's Funding Application Form and submit it to mideast@unc.edu for review.
