Title:

Strengthening Carleton's Indo-Pacific Partnerships (SCIPP)

Agreement Number:

7473660 P016872001

Agreement Value:

$517,500.00

Agreement Date:

Feb 2, 2026 - Jun 30, 2028

Description:

Carleton University’s initiative will support outbound mobility through three award streams: study visits, research internships, and faculty seed funding, enabling graduate students and faculty to build research capacity and partnerships across the Indo-Pacific. With up to 25 student and faculty awards annually, each valued at $10,000, the program will facilitate 3–4 month placements at partner institutions in Australia, Japan, Taiwan, India, Korea, Vietnam, and New Zealand. Graduate students will gain international research experience and cultural fluency, while faculty recipients will initiate new collaborations with flexible travel timelines. Designed to reflect Carleton’s decentralized, faculty-led research culture, the program promotes interdisciplinary engagement in fields such as engineering, migration studies, and international affairs. It fills a critical gap in outbound mobility funding, particularly for graduate researchers, and is expected to grow Carleton’s Indo-Pacific partnerships over time, contributing to Canada’s strategic engagement in the region.
