Eligible applicants are typically scholars, educators, or institutional programs proposing international collaborative or outreach projects aligned with NCA’s call for proposals and funding parameters. Applicants must submit via the NCA Grants Portal—if you updated your NCA Member Portal password on or after January 21, reset your Grants Portal login to match—and direct questions to the NCA Research Department.
