The South Asia Center is a National Resource Center of the US Department of Education. Our
mission is to enhance the study of South Asia at Penn (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri
Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives) and within the wider community. The Center supports
faculty and student research, conferences, curriculum development, outreach, and other activities
and events related to modern and pre-modern South Asia. The Center connects scholars with
interests in South Asia across the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Penn’s professional schools, and
beyond. We are unable to fund proposals that do not include significant South Asia content, as
defined above. If you have questions about the suitability of your program, please contact us prior
to submitting your proposal.
If we agree to fund your project, we will require a short report describing the results, participation,
and significance of the event/ program. We encourage the inclusion of online and/or recorded
components as an element of all public events.
