IIE announces the final call for proposals for the EducationUSA Leadership Institutes, a new initiative from the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ EducationUSA Advising Network that will bring Ministry and higher education officials to the U.S. for short-term training experiences. 

Accredited U.S. post-secondary educational institutions (non-profit and for-profit), U.S. higher education associations, university systems, consortia, and qualified entities that meet provisions in IRS section 26 USC 501(c)(3) are invited to submit proposals to be a Partner Organization for the first round of EducationUSA Leadership Institutes, which will focus on three key focus areas: (1) Quality Assurance and Accreditation; (2) Industry-Private Sector Linkages & Innovation; and (3) Campus Internationalization: Institutional Structures that Provide the Capacity to Support In and Outbound Student Mobility. Applicants are invited to submit proposals focusing on one or more of these topics.
