The Middle East Studies Center (MESC) is hosting a forum for faculty to learn about funding opportunities for current and potential interdisciplinary research projects addressing the global water crisis and local water issues impacting the global crisis. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, September 4, 3:30-6:30 pm, in room 120, Mershon Center for International Security Studies, 1501 Neil Avenue (Neil and Eighth Avenues).
MESC and other university area studies centers* will be submitting several Title VI National Resource Center Grant Proposals to the Department of Education in October to fund research projects focused on the global water crisis over a five-year period. They are seeking to identify current research projects across campus that address the global water crisis and to gauge the interest in forming new, interdisciplinary initiatives to consider for funding.
For more information and to RSVP for the September 4 forum, please contact Melinda McClimans, assistant director, MESC.
*Participating Ohio State area studies centers include the Center for African Studies, Center for Latin American Studies, Center for Slavic and East European Studies, East Asian Studies Center, Institute for Chinese Studies, Institute for Japanese Studies, and the Institute for Korean Studies.
