Created in 2002, the Alliance Program is a translatlantic joint-venture between Columbia University, the Ecole Polytechnique, Sciences Po and the Université I Panthéon-Sorbonne.

The Alliance Calls for Doctoral Mobility are intended to promote and finance transatlantic projects of the highest quality proposed by doctoral students from one partner institution and supported by a professor in the host institution.

From all disciplines, doctoral students from the Alliance network are encouraged to pursue their research (for 1 to 3 months) in a partner institution: students from the three French institutions are encouraged to pursue their research at Columbia University while students from Columbia are welcomed to extend their research at the Ecole Polytechnique, Sciences Po, or the Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne.

Three projects are usually funded every year with a maximum limit of $4,000 per project.

The CSWE Scholars Program provides both senior scholars - faculty members - and junior scholars, such as doctoral students or individuals recently completing their doctoral dissertation, the opportunity to work on research projects and initiatives of interest to the scholar as well as to CSWE. Temporary relocation in Alexandria, Virginia, is preferred, but length and intensity of the commitment are dependent upon several factors. These include funding, flexibility of the scholar's schedule, and the specifics of the project.

The current funding priorities for the CSWE Scholars Program include the following:

• Competencies/Competency-Based Education
• Effective Mentorship for Diverse Students and Faculty
• Gerontology
• Teaching Evidence-Based Practice
