Opportunity Summary:
The University Research Program is a competitive grant opportunity offered by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia. It supports a one- to two-year project designed to raise the quality and credibility of academic research within Georgian universities and educational institutes, while also building stronger connections between academic researchers, civil society organizations, and government policy makers. The overall aim is to help Georgian scholarship better meet international expectations and become more visible through publication in reputable peer-reviewed journals, both Western and Georgian.
The program is centered on strengthening the practical research capacity of early-career Georgian scholars, with a strong emphasis on both quantitative and qualitative methods and on academic writing skills. The target audience is primarily young academics such as assistant professors and PhD candidates, who are expected to benefit directly from training, mentoring, and structured support to produce publishable research. Georgian host universities are positioned as the indirect beneficiaries, gaining improved faculty capacity, stronger research culture, and potentially better institutional resources and academic outputs over time.
Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to focus on research topics tied to domestic policy challenges in Georgia, such as health care, education, environmental issues, civil service and personnel systems, and local government. The opportunity also encourages comparative research, particularly analyses that draw parallels between the United States and Georgia. Beyond research methods and writing, proposals may also include components like academic English instruction (to help scholars publish and engage internationally) and improvements to research library capacities and resources, which can remove practical barriers to high-quality scholarship.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an estimated total of about $250,000. Awards are anticipated to fall within a range, with a floor of $150,000 and a ceiling of $250,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The Embassy also notes that it may pursue additional funding for future years, suggesting that successful implementation and strong results could potentially position the program for continuation or expansion.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and Georgian nonprofit/non-governmental organizations, universities, and educational institutions. The eligibility categories explicitly include nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, as well as public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. While the competition is open to these groups, preference is given to Georgian and U.S. nonprofits and public universities, indicating the Embassy is particularly interested in proposals grounded in credible academic or nonprofit infrastructure and with strong local relevance and implementation capacity.
The opportunity was posted on June 9, 2010, with a proposal deadline of July 19, 2010, and it was later archived on August 18, 2010. The funding opportunity number is SCAGEO 10 GR 001 SCA 060910, and the sponsoring agency is the U.S. Mission to Georgia. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Nino Gagua, Cultural Affairs Assistant/Grants Coordinator, at gaguan@state.gov and phone number 99532277628.
