University Research Program in STEM

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia is pleased to announce an open competition for the University Research Program in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields. PAS invites U.S. and Georgian universities to submit proposals for two- to three-year projects to improve the standards of Georgian academic research in Georgian universities, and to encourage greater interaction between Georgian and American academic researchers. The project is meant to strengthen the quantitative and qualitative research skills as well as academic writing of young Georgian scholars; raise Georgian scholars’ research capacity to international standards; mentor/coach Georgian scholars for publishing research papers in Georgian and Western academic peer-reviewed journals in STEM fields.
