Rawalpindi, May 25, 2022 (PPI-OT):U.S. – Pakistan University Partnerships Grants Program (UPGP) follows the success of the University Partnership initiative, through which American universities in 20 partnerships with Pakistani universities received U.S. government grants to establish three-year bilateral relationships. The program enables departments of the universities which participated in the original partnerships described above to apply for grants of up to USD $50,000 for follow-on projects to share their knowledge with universities which were not part of the original partnership program.

FJWU as alumni of the initial partnership has won the grant under 2021 round and most recently for the 2022 round. The University Partnerships Grants Program 2020-23 (UPGP) is funded by the US Government and administered by the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP). The current project titled “Strengthening Teaching and Research Capacity in Pakistani Universities through Collaborative Partnership in Social Sciences” aimed to extend teaching and research capacity building of University faculty to different provinces including Federal Capital, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces.

The universities are selected on the basis that they have a large number of students and have a greater number of faculty members along with various affiliated colleges and institutes. Along with this, the current project extends to include newly developed universities with a high need of exposure to faculty development programs and have greater number of female faculty and students. In line with the dominant identified needs and priorities, developing and implementing an efficient and sustainable mechanism of teaching and research capacity building of major universities is on our agenda list.

Specifically, we are aiming at a) professional development for early career faculty and their mentorship; b) curricular revisions for establishing scientific and quality standards in selected social science disciplines; c) development of pedagogical skills for critical classroom engagement; d) research capacity building of faculty; e) development of research consortia and webinars for faculty and students across universities for sustained pedagogical teaching and research engagement.

For the current project “Strengthening Teaching and Research Capacity in Pakistani Universities through Collaborative Partnership in Social Sciences” (round 2022), Dr Saima Hamid (Vice Chancellor FJWU) is project advisor and trainer.
