The GSF Application is now closed. Winners will be announced in early May. 

GSF General Fund

The General Fund is open to projects in any country. Through an annual call for proposals, the fund primarily supports travel costs for exchange between a team at MIT and colleagues abroad.  

  • The international colleague(s) must be identified in the proposal.
  • For projects in any country that do not meet the criteria of the other funds.  

 All general Global Seed Funds criteria, application, and evaluation procedures apply.

$30,000

Priority will be given to projects that:

  • propose a balanced exchange between the MIT and international participants
  • demonstrate complementarity between the MIT and international teams
  • involve undergraduate and graduate students
