President's Global Innovation Fund

The request for proposals for 2024 closed on March 10. Announcements of new President’s Global Innovation Fund awards are expected in early May.

The President’s Global Innovation Fund was launched in 2013 to support innovative projects enriched by the infrastructure, expertise, and connections of the Columbia Global Centers. The 118 grants awarded over the past decade have fostered new, interdisciplinary collaborations among Columbia faculty/researchers and schools; have accelerated innovation through collaborative research and global knowledge exchange; and have provided rich new learning opportunities for students at all levels.

The Columbia Global Centers are the University’s physical and intellectual gateway to the world. Located in 11 cities across four continents, the Global Centers serve as regional hubs for research, education, training, collaboration, and social impact programming. With staff who have deep roots in their respective countries and regions, the Global Centers drive transformative connections between the University and the world, advancing knowledge exchange, deepening global dialogue, and building local partnership networks to advance innovation and impact.
