History
UC MEXUS was established in 1980 as an academic research institute dedicated to encouraging, securing, and contributing to binational research and collaborative academic programs and exchanges. It provides support to UC researchers from across the university system, including a broad range of departments, institutes, offices, and programs. Since 2019, UC MEXUS programs have been integrated into Alianza MX.
Partnership
Through collaboration with Mexico’s National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT), UC MEXUS has provided seed funding to teams of UC and Mexican researchers for basic and applied collaborative research, instructional development, and public service and education projects. It has also managed academic exchange programs for postdoctoral fellows and doctoral fellows.
Due to expiration of the joint funding agreement between UC MEXUS and CONACYT, no further calls for research proposals or fellowship applications will be announced.
For questions or for updates on other funding opportunities, please contact AlianzaMXResearch@ucr.edu.
