The Cornell International Education Network (CIEN) was formed in 1991:

ILR Community Grant
Unit: School of Industrial and Labor Relations

ILR International Programs (IP) is pleased to announce a small grant program for members of the ILR community (faculty, extension associates, staff, and students) for international activities. This program is not intended to be used to fund individual research or travel. Rather, it is designed to help provide funding for international activities that involve MULTIPLE constituents of the ILR School (faculty, students, alumni, labor, management, governments), while simultaneously raising ILR's international profile. IP will set aside a maximum of $12,000 per year to fund one or two (at most) proposals prepared by the ILR community. One condition of this program is that recipients commit to some sort of "public" deliverable (e.g., prepare reports or provide abstracts of papers from conferences that can be shared publicly on this ILR website). The specific "deliverable" in each case will be negotiated by the recipient of the grant and the IP faculty committee.
