UH Faculty Grant Preparation Support Program 2000

The Globalization Research Center created Summer Research Stipends for 11 Univeristy of Hawaii faculty members to allow them to research a wide variety of globalization topics during Summer 2000. These research stipends supported the development of grant proposals to further their initial globalization research and led to a Spring and Fall 2001 Faculty Speaker series where stipend recepients present the results of their research to the University community. They are:
