Global Affairs Canada has launched the 2026-2027 Faculty Mobility for Partnership Building Program (FMPBP) competition. This program offers grants to full-time professors at Canadian post-secondary institutions for short-term (3-8weeks) teaching and/or research activities in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The FMPBP award is funded by Global Affairs Canada and is valued at a maximum of CAD$7000. Recipients’ travel can occur from April 1, 2026. All funds must be expensed by March 31, 2027.
The Global Learning Office acts as a coordinator at SMU for the FMPBP program and will submit all applications. Multiple applications are allowed per institution.
Interested faculty should consult the FMPBP guidelines here and contact the Global Learning Office (Miyuki.arai@smu.ca) by Friday, October 17 2025. This is to allow enough time to prepare applications for submission by the deadline of Tuesday, November 18 at 11:59 pm EST.
The scholarship administrator, Canadian Bureau for International Education, will communicate successful results to Canadian institutions in February 2026.
