About this opportunity
This cooperative agreement seeks to establish an education partnership between a U.S. institution of higher education and the University of Greenland, coordinated through the Greenland Ministry of Education, Culture, Church and Foreign Affairs. The goal is to build capacity at the University of Greenland and other vocational programs related to land and fisheries management, hospitality, and sustainable tourism, with the aim of developing associate's degree or vocational certificate programs in these fields. The Department of State Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs will evaluate proposals based on their ability to foster collaboration between U.S. and Greenland academic communities, creating educational and economic opportunities in areas of mutual interest. Proposals are due by August 7, 2020.
Funding of up to $1,777,500 is available through a cooperative agreement for a 24-month project. Work will be performed collaboratively between the selected U.S. institution(s) and partners in Greenland to develop and execute programming to strengthen integration of Greenland's academic programs into the global community, with the goal of laying the foundation for associate's degrees or vocational certificates in fields supporting Greenland's economy and sustainable development.
Synopsis
The Office of Press and Public Diplomacy in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs of the U.S. Department of State (EUR/PPD) announces a funding opportunity to establish an education partnership between a fully accredited institution(s) of higher education in the United States and the University of Greenland (in coordination with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Church and Foreign Affairs in Greenland) to strengthen Greenland's integration into the global academic community. The goal of the Arctic Education Alliance is to harness professional expertise in the United States to assist in building the capacity of the University of Greenland's academic programs - and vocational studies at other institutions - related to land and fisheries management, hospitality, and sustainable tourism, with the goal of laying the groundwork for an Associate's degree or vocational certificate program in these fields. EUR/PPD is soliciting proposals for a cooperative agreement of up to $1,777,500 to develop and execute a 24-month project to foster productive and mutually beneficial collaboration between academic communities in the United States and Greenland that will result in educational and economic opportunities for both countries in the areas of land and fisheries management, hospitality, and sustainable tourism.
