Description
The
U.S.-Russia Program encourages cooperative education programs between institutions
of higher education (IHEs) in the Russian Federation and the United States of
America. The objective of this program is to provide grants that demonstrate
partnerships between Russian and American IHEs that contribute to the
development and promotion of educational opportunities between the two nations.
The aim is to use the educational content as the vehicle for learning
languages, cultural appreciation, sharing knowledge, and forming long-term
relationships between the two countries. In the context of the modern
international society and a global economy, an understanding of the cultural
context plays a vital role in education and training. Thus, this program is
designed to support the formation of educational consortia of American and
Russian IHEs to encourage mutual socio-cultural-linguistic cooperation; the
joint development of curricula, educational materials, and other types of
educational and methodological activities; and related educational student and
staff mobility (exchanges). Russian institutions will apply to The Russian
Ministry of Education and Science for funding.
