On behalf of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and in partnership with the Indonesian Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education (Kemristekdikti), IIE announces a research partnership funding opportunity for the USAID Sustainable Higher Education Research Alliances (USAID SHERA) program to increase research capacity in Indonesia through U.S. – Indonesia partnerships. This program will foster long-term research alliances between top-tier Indonesian higher education institutions, affiliate Indonesian higher education institutions, U.S. higher education institutions, private sector partners, and other stakeholders on critical science and technology topics of local and global significance. USAID SHERA seeks to fund approximately five Centers for Collaborative Research (CCRs) in priority research topics at top-tier Indonesian institutions in partnership with at least one U.S. higher education institution partner and at least three Indonesian higher education institution partners. The anticipated amount of funding per CCR is US$3 million over approximately four years with the lead Indonesian institution as the primary sub-recipient of the funding. Interested U.S. higher education intuitions should contact potential Indonesian applicants directly to discuss participating as a partnership member.
