UNCF Strategies For Achieving


Component 2: Linkage Grants

    Result #4: A total of nearly $7 million in linkage grants with U.S. institutions will be awarded and implemented, with each HDI involved in at least one linkage arrangement, by Year 5 of the project. Working closely with the HDIs, UNCF will develop and issue a solicitation for linkage grant awards during the project’s first year. With substantial input from the HDIs, a competitive review and awards process will be conducted and 15 linkage grants will be awarded to U.S. institutions.

    A linkage research project will be initiated in year two. Designated HDI researchers will study best linkage practices, discuss their findings at annual conferences, and submit them for publication at the end of the contract. Sites for annual linkage conferences will alternate between South Africa and the United States. A Linkage Coordinator and the Deputy Chief of Party will monitor linkage grant implementation.
