Frequently Asked Questions
We'd like to apply to the grant, what should we do?
If all your PIs are from Columbia and our partner institutions (Sciences Po, Paris 1, Ecole Polytechnique), then it is a JRP, even if you're organising a conference and inviting speakers from other institutions and countries. It is considered a TIER if you have a PI from another university that is not within the Alliance partnership.
Please note, there MUST be at least one Columbia PI and one from a partnering institution.
