Support for Ukrainian Displaced Universities

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv announces a funding opportunity to support projects assisting Ukrainian universities that have been displaced by conflict in eastern Ukraine and Crimea. This grants program is designed to support innovative and impactful projects to support displaced Ukrainian universities, their faculty, students and staff, and the communities that they now serve. Subject to availability of funds, the Embassy will award grants as described below to Ukrainian and U.S.-based non-governmental, not-for-profit organizations. Specific thematic priorities and program requirements are described in detail below. The project must be tailored towards Ukrainian universities and all project activities supported by the U.S. Embassy grant should take place in Ukraine. The eligible themes : • Proposals may include requests for funds to purchase equipment or academic materials, though that amount may not exceed 20% of the total requested award. This grant may not be used to support an infrastructure project. • Projects that encourage the further integration of Ukrainian displaced universities into their new host communities, including strengthening collaboration between the relocated universities and other higher educational institutions in Ukraine. • Career development programming for students and alumni of Ukrainian displaced universities. • Projects designed to build capacity in the displaced universities by increasing proficiency in the use of electronic resources and technology. • Projects focused on supporting Ukrainian veterans with education-related programming on the basis of one or more of the displaced universities. • Projects that directly support the restoration and development of libraries of the displaced universities.
