IDEAS Grant Competition

The IDEAS Program strengthens international higher education partnerships and programs that prepare U.S. undergraduate students to contribute to fields critical to U.S. national security and economic prosperity. It is imperative that our next generation of leaders engages internationally to foster mutual understanding and develop critical skills in support of U.S. national security and economic competitiveness. Through small grants, trainings, and resources, the IDEAS Program increases the number of U.S. students gaining international experiences and broadens the destinations where U.S. students study abroad, particularly to strategic locations where American engagement matters.
