The U.S. Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and ALO, in cooperation with USAID and the U.S. Department of State, are issuing a call for applications for the U.S. - Middle East University Partnerships Program. ALO will conduct a peer-reviewed competition to award up to five (5) grants of up to $200,000 each over a three-year period, contingent on funding, to implement cooperative partnerships between higher education institutions in the United States and Arab universities located in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, the West Bank and Gaza, and Yemen.

ALO seeks applications for higher education partnerships to strengthen Arab universities’ programs in one of the following disciplines: (1) Business Administration and Economics; (2) Gender Studies; (3) Government; (4) Information and Communication Technologies; (5) Legal Studies; and (6) Teacher Education.

MEPI and ALO encourage applications from institutions that seek to forge new partnerships, as well as applications to expand existing informal and formal linkages with Arab universities. Institutions with current ALO/MEPI awards are eligible to present new applications from other academic departments or with a different focus.
