COIL Award Application: Virtual Healthcare Program
COIL Award Application: Virtual Healthcare Program
The Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC), through funding from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, invites faculty from eligible institutions in the United States, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates to apply for a COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) Award.
This opportunity supports faculty pairs in co-developing and delivering virtual, collaborative learning experiences that connect medical students across institutions and regions. Projects should promote global health awareness, intercultural competencies, and sustainable academic partnerships through innovative online teaching methods.
Each selected faculty pair will receive a total award of $4,000 USD ($2,000 per faculty member), disbursed in two installments: half upon submission of a program curriculum and half upon completion of the program and submission of final deliverables.
Applicants must propose a joint project involving two faculty members from two different institutions in the target countries. Projects may be cross-regional (U.S.–MENA) or intra-regional (e.g., MENA–MENA or U.S.–U.S.), as long as they demonstrate meaningful academic collaboration.
