Please post the following announcment:
IATP Internet Grants Program
In May 1999, the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) received
grants from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the US
Department of State (ECA) to administer the Internet Access and Training
Program (IATP) in 10 countries of Eurasia including Ukraine, Belarus,
Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan,
and Uzbekistan.
The goal of the IATP is to promote and support democracy, public-private
sector partnerships, and civil society by linking the communities of Eurasia
to the global information infrastructure. The IATP provides a unique
opportunity for alumni of US government exchange and training programs and
other target audiences to receive free and open access to and training in
the Internet, helping to foster continued information sharing, network
building, communication, and collaboration with their American and Eurasian
counterparts.
The ECA, together with IREX, is pleased to announce an open competition for
the IATP Internet grants program. Alumni of ECA programs and IATP partners
are encouraged to apply.
The purpose of the IATP Internet Grants Program is to promote IATP
sustainability through the development of local language Internet resources.
Awards will average $1,500, but not exceed $5,000, and will allow local
alumni and IATP partners the opportunity to create new partnerships and make
available Internet resources and materials in local languages; organize
training programs or distance learning initiatives; create web sites; and/or
conduct any other projects judged to be in the interest of the program goals
by the selection committee and/or the ECA and Office of Public Diplomacy.
In the next six months, IREX will conduct two rounds of the IATP Internet
Grants Program. The following countries have an application deadline of
