Key requirements include addressing ways to develop new or ongoing partnerships between Iraqi and U.S. IHEs, and demonstrating how the partnership will lead to meaningful and sustained institutional improvements. Applications must be submitted by June 8, 2021 and will not be accepted through grants.gov.
