The William R. Rhodes Center aims to support faculty who wish to build capacity at Brown in areas related to international economics and finance through collaborations with external institutions, in the United States and abroad. Whether as a partner in grant applications, as a research partner on existing research, or along other similar lines, we stand ready to support Brown faculty who seek to set up and nurture such relationships. 

The William R. Rhodes Center invites Brown University faculty and researchers to submit proposals for one day workshops (or their on-line multi-day equivalent) aimed at expanding the interdisciplinary understanding of international economics and finance and the impacts thereof. Proposals are welcomed from all parts of the university, including the social sciences and humanities, engineering, the sciences, public health, and medicine. The William R. Rhodes Center is particularly interested in proposals that span multiple academic disciplines.

The Watson Institute Diversity and Inclusion Committee invites Watson-affiliated faculty looking to revise or create courses that represent diverse scholars, issues of structural inequality, racial disparities, and/or systems of power, to apply for a course development award.

Collaborating with the Brown UTRA program, Watson is providing funds to support 2-3 additional faculty research projects through student research assistant funding. The goal of this fund is to support Watson faculty research, while also moving toward a more transparent and inclusive process of hiring student research assistants. The University has experienced success in diversifying the research assistant applicant and hiring pool through the new UTRA process. We encourage you to submit your research proposal for UTRA funding to the University by October 3.
