With primary support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, IREX has designed the University Administration Support Program (UASP) to contribute to improving administration in a selected number of universities in the following countries: Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Ghana, Ukraine, Uganda and Tanzania.

Program elements include:

 

1. Fellowships in University Administration. IREX provides competitively awarded short-term fellowships for mid- and senior-level university administrators to spend approximately eight weeks with counterparts at respected U.S. public universities to work on specific university administration reform projects. While in the U.S., the fellows are required to prepare a case study on the management issue addressed. The case studies are then published on the IREX website.

 

 

2. Pilot Project Grants. Fellows in university administration will be eligible to compete for small grants to support pilot reform projects at their home universities upon their return home.
