What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

American-style higher education plays an important role in influencing and educating the next generation of leaders in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), offering students an alternative vision to extremist ideologies, and encouraging economic growth through professional skills development.

The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC), seeks applications for multiple awards to support American-style higher education programs in Iraq. The objectives of these awards will be to build and increase the institutional capacity of institutions of higher education (IHE) in Iraq, and to enhance partnerships with U.S. and regional IHE for the purposes of research, exchange, and curriculum and pedagogic development, to include faculty exchanges.
