Strengthening Carleton\u2019s Indo-Pacific Partnerships (SCIPP)<\/strong> is a Carleton International project that provides funding for developing partnerships and research collaborations with institutions in the Indo-Pacific region. Funded by Government of Canada, the project offers 4 to 5 awards to faculty members per application cycle (2026-27 and 2027-28).

Applications must demonstrate a commitment and potential for long-term engagement and collaboration, whether through ongoing research activities, teaching practices, agreements, future mobilities, or other plans. Awardees are expected to use some of the funds for travel to the partner institution, and the rest for costs that contribute to advancing joint research.
