Request for Proposals for International Faculty Orientation

The American Councils invites U.S. universities to submit proposals to develop, host, and administer an orientation program for the Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) from August 4, 2001 to August 13, 2001.  Approximately one hundred twenty-eight (128) participants will attend the program.  JFDP Fellows are university faculty from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, who will complete non-degree professional development programs at various institutions during the academic year.

The orientation will focus on: a) introducing the systems and structures of U.S. higher education; b) addressing the concepts of U.S. life and culture; c) training in the basic use of technology in professional and academic settings; and d) explaining the procedures and regulations of the JFDP grant program.

Proposals are due by April 27, 2001.  To download the full RFP, please go to www.actr.org/jfdp.  Please address questions to jfdp at actr.org, or call Bryan Savage at 202-833-7522.
