ARI postdoctoral scholars maintain active programs of research in their field of expertise, generally teach one undergraduate course each semester, supervise the Undergraduate Fellows Program, and provide project support as a member of the Asia Research Institute.
The SUNY Global Learning Institute (GLI) at Buffalo hosts sponsored student groups from Asia and around the world for short-term educational and cultural exchange opportunities in Buffalo.
The Asia Research Institute (ARI) provides funding for one UB undergraduate student each year to participate in each of the three conferences organized by International Student Conferences, Inc (ISC). Students apply to ISC to participate in one of the conferences and simultaneously apply to ARI for funding. ARI funding can only be offered to students who are accepted into one of the ISC conferences.
