Curriculum Development Grant (MSU-CIBER) is a grant from Michigan State University's Center for International Business Education and Research that funds faculty and doctoral students developing or enhancing business education curricula with international dimensions.

The program supports modifications of existing courses to add international content, development of new courses with international or cross-national focus, and creation of curriculum materials that improve the global competitiveness dimension of business programs. Proposals are reviewed monthly on a rolling basis. Funding priority is given to projects that directly address U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace.

After project completion, grantees must submit a report including a summary of accomplishments, accounting of fund use, and course syllabi. Applications require a 2-to-5-page narrative proposal.

MSU-CIBER operates on a monthly review cycle, and proposals may be submitted at any time. As a policy, MSU-CIBER supports scholarly activities that have a significant international dimension.

Faculty are invited to submit applications for CIBER Curriculum Development Grants to strengthen the international dimensions in business education and thereby contribute to the preparation of well-informed business leaders and the improvements of U.S. competitiveness in the global economy.

Funds will be awarded for the following types of projects, listed in order of priority: Modification of existing course to add more international content. Development of new departmental courses with an international, cross-national, or comparative focus. Development of interdisciplinary courses with an international, cross-national, or comparative focus.

Identification and/or development of curriculum materials that will add international, cross-national, or comparative dimensions to an existing course or sequence. Applications should include the application form with a narrative proposal, two to five pages in length. The proposal should document the rationale for the curriculum project (need, objectives, impact) and discuss the content of the new/revised course.

As proposals are reviewed, the first consideration in evaluating a project will be its relevance to U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace. You are urged to emphasize that aspect of the proposal. After a grant is provided and the project completed, a report must be submitted to the Center for International Business Education and Research.

The report should include a summary of accomplishments, a brief accounting of how grant funds were actually spent, and a copy of the syllabus for the new/revised course and/or any materials as part of the curriculum project.
