University of Chicago faculty are engaged in research and academic collaboration in Sub-Saharan Africa across departments, divisions, and professional schools, with deep engagement ranging in topic from regional studies and economics to engineering, paleontology and astrophysics.
The PGFA-Sub-Saharan Africa awards are intended to support collaborative faculty activities across the region. While the University of Chicago does not have a physical center in the region, faculty endeavors are supported by the UChicago Global staff in addition to their local institutional partners.
The committee chair and members of the Working Group for Sub-Saharan Africamay be consulted in formulating proposals. Prospective applicants are also encouraged to consult with UChicago Global staff regarding the substance of the proposal and budget at global@uchicago.edu.
