The Capacity Building Program for U.S. Study Abroad is a program of the U.S. Department of State with funding provided by the U.S. government and supported in its implementation by World Learning.
“This grant will help Utica College build our innovative interprofessional education experiences abroad for students in health-care programs. We are working with partners in Ecuador, Egypt, and Ghana to develop unique opportunities for students to work together to enhance patient care and community-based health education programs,” Deborah Wilson-Allam, executive director of Utica College’s Office of International Education, said.
The Capacity Building Program for U.S. Study Abroad seeks to increase the capacity of accredited U.S. colleges and universities to “create, expand and diversify” study abroad programs for U.S. students.
In addition to the IDEAS grant competition, the program also offers opportunities for faculty, staff, and administrators at U.S. colleges and universities to participate in a series of free virtual and in-person study abroad capacity building activities.
