IRES

This page presents resources for faculty applying for the National Science Foundation OISE International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) grants. It is intended for current and potential principle investigators planning international research experiences for students.

Webinar series for IRES applicants and program leaders

We are pleased to offer a four-part webinar series to help program leaders and applicants to the IRES program make intentional choices in program structure, collaboration model, and learning outcomes. Our findings are based on case studies of successful IRES programs and interviews with participating students. View the webinars by clicking here or the image below.
