Research Travel Grant

The Research Travel Grant provides up to $3,000 USD (or GBP/EUR equivalent) to support dissemination of research on the teaching and learning of Arabic at an academic, in-person conference. It is intended for scholars and practitioners presenting research related to K-12 Arabic teaching and learning and aligned with QFI’s Research Priorities. Funds are awarded to cover or reimburse eligible travel and conference expenses.

Up to $3,000 USD (or equivalent) toward reimbursement of conference registration, lodging, and transportation; approval and amounts vary by application.

Applicants must be presenting research at an upcoming in-person conference on the teaching and learning of Arabic at the K-12 (primary/secondary) level and must be either a researcher of school-based Arabic pedagogy at primary and secondary levels or a current Arabic teacher or administrator of Arabic programs at primary and secondary schools who actively participate in such research. Research and conference must be conducted in eligible geographies (US, Canada, UK, EU, or other geographies via a QFI Special Call).

Register and create a profile on QFI’s SM Apply portal, confirm eligibility, and submit application materials including an itemized budget with screenshots of transportation and lodging estimates, abstract and proof of acceptance/submission, CV, conference details, and connection to QFI Research Priorities.
