Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program (2026-27)

The call for applications to the  Global Affairs Canada Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program (FMPBP) for travel to Latin America and the Caribbean in 2026-27 is now open.  External Deadline: November 18, 2025; Internal Deadline: November 4, 2025.  The Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program aims to support Canadian postsecondary institutions that are either developing new collaboration and/or student exchange agreements or strengthening existing agreements with institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean.  Global Affairs Canada offers grants to full-time faculty for short-term teaching and/or research activities in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

The FMPBP provides up to CAD 7,000 for partnership building activities along with research and/or teaching focused activities with new or existing partner institutions in the LAC region.  Travel is for 3-8 weeks in length; it can begin as early as April 1, 2026 and must be completed before March 31, 2027.  Activities are also expected to strengthen and support student participation in the ELAP scholarship program, which funds LAC students to come to Canada for short-term study or research stays.  The program is administered by the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) on behalf of Global Affairs Canada. 

For questions or assistance, please contact Jill Sherman at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca or Maiko Scorgie (Lakehead International) at coordinator.gem@lakeheadu.ca.
