About this opportunity

Program PrioritiesThe Faculty Exchange Program is requesting the design and delivery of training activities forAfrican university professors in Veterinary Science.BACKGROUNDThe Faculty Exchange Program (FEP) began in 1995 to bring junior- or mid-level universityprofessors from countries in the Former Soviet Union to the United States for one semester toincrease their knowledge of, and ability to teach, agricultural management at their home institutions.

Today the program focuses on improving veterinary education andresearch in selected African nations for early to mid-career instructors at Colleges of VeterinaryMedicine in and Ethiopia. Training programs are designed andorganized in conjunction with other government agencies.
