Appropriations within the State and Foreign Operations bill provide essential funding to develop strong U.S. universities and developing country university partnerships. Further, appropriations that support USAID’s Feed the Future Innovation Labs help tackle some of the world’s most challenging agriculture problems. The current 21 Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Labs involve more than 70 U.S. universities throughout the nation and solve critical agricultural problems that impact food security and poverty through research conducted collaboratively between U.S. and developing country students and scientists.
The program also promotes a path to self-reliance and resilience by strengthening the capacity of developing country research institutions and scientists. APLU also supports additional funding for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, aimed at providing opportunities for underserved and diverse student populations, equipping students with the necessary tools required for critical second language acquisitions, and expanding study abroad initiatives across the United States.
