Description
Sub-Saharan Africa’s socio-economic development depends on its ability to produce research to address local challenges. African share of world research output has increased, from 1.5 percent in 2005 to 2.8 percent in 2015 according to Web of Science global index. However, bottlenecks to mobilizing resources for research include poor capacity to manage the resources, monitor and track research, and apply for large research grants. Supported by the Corporation since 2002, the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX) University Administrator Support Program (UASP) equips research administrators through placements at U.S. universities. IREX is seeking support for twenty-four African and eight Eurasian university fellows to include orientation and closing Washington, D.C.-based workshops, four-week placements at U.S. universities, a small grants competition, and alumni activity.
