Collaborative Grants
From 1998 to 2020, UC MEXUS-CONACYT Collaborative Grants provided one UC researcher and one researcher from a Mexican partner institution with $25,000 in funding support for one year. Each team completed a binational project in basic or applied collaborative research, instructional development, or public service and education. Many awardees used the support to develop projects that were later funded by their own institutions or by other sources.
Postdoctoral Fellowships
From 2002 to 2020, UC MEXUS-CONACYT Postdoctoral Fellowships provided recipients with one to two years of funding to participate in research projects at a host UC campus or Mexican institution. Fellows completed research in most academic disciplines except the arts (excluded from CONACYT’s mandate at that time). Fellows were also encouraged to connect their research with projects supported by the UC MEXUS Collaborative Grants Program.
Doctoral Fellowships
From 1998 to 2020, UC MEXUS-CONACYT Doctoral Fellowships provided Mexican students with five years of funding to complete their doctoral degrees at any UC campus. Fellows completed degrees in most academic disciplines except the arts (excluded from CONACYT’s mandate at that time). Funding support was provided by CONACYT in Year 1 through Year 3 of their studies, by UC MEXUS in Year 4, and by their host UC campus in Year 5.
