International Academic Visitors

International Visiting Scholar Program (IVSP)

We are excited to announce that the International Visiting Scholar Program will offer funding to support up to three visiting scholars for the 2024-2025 academic year. The application outline is here.

This program is designed to foster new and strengthen existing  research collaborations between nursing faculty at the University of Alberta and those in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Its goal is to enhance capacity for international research partnerships and facilitate knowledge exchange among nursing scholars. The award offers financial support to LMIC nursing faculty, enabling them to spend one to three months in a Canadian academic environment, working closely with a Canadian researcher on a mutually beneficial area of interest.

For additional questions, please contact the Global Nursing office (nuglobal@ualberta.ca).
