United States - Mexico TIES Initiative - 2004 Special Request for Applications
Issued: June 25, 2004
Closing: August 27, 2004 (5 p.m. EDT)
ALO, in cooperation with USAID/Mexico, is issuing this call for Applications
for the U.S. - Mexico Training, Internships, Exchanges, and Scholarships
(TIES) Partnership Initiative. This initiative will establish at least 35
institutional partnerships between U.S.-Mexican higher education
institutions and directly support Mexican competitiveness and the
U.S.-Mexico common development agenda as articulated through the North
American Free Trade Agreement and the Partnership for Prosperity.
For this third cycle RFA, ALO anticipates recommending approximately six (6)
applications for awards of up to $300,000 each for completion by September
2007 (approximately $100,000 per year). Five of these partnerships will
focus on contributing to rural development in Mexico and one will focus on
strengthening Mexico's capacity to prevent, diagnose and control
tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. Successful applicant
institutions will typically propose at least seven long-term (two academic
semesters) scholarships for Mexicans to be embedded within a partnership, in
addition to other training, internships, and exchanges.
