Details at www.iie.org/goldbergprize
The Institute of International Education is pleased to announce the 2008 call for nominations for the Victor J. Goldberg IIE Prize for Peace in the Middle East. The prize, which is awarded annually, recognizes outstanding work being conducted jointly by two individuals, one Arab and one Israeli, working together to advance the cause of peace in the Middle East. The two individuals whose work is judged to be most successful in bringing people together and breaking down the barriers of hatred will share a $10,000 prize.

ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for the Prize, at least one of the nominated individuals must be an alumna/us of a program administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE), or on any exchange program funded by the U.S. Department of State, including but not limited to the Fulbright Programs, the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowships, and the International Visitor Leadership Program (formerly International Visitor Program, or IVP) sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program, IIE's Scholar Rescue Fund, or any of the development training programs administered by IIE for the U.S. Agency for International Development.

For individuals who came to the United States on programs funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, eligibility is not restricted to those programs administered by IIE. For example, Fulbright alumni need not have been grantees of IIE, but may have received a Fulbright grant administered by AMIDEAST. International Visitor Leadership Program alumni need not have been grantees of IIE, but may have participated in a program coordinated by another organization.

Nominations may be submitted by the individuals themselves or by a third party. Nominations will be due on February 29, 2008, and the winners will be announced in the Spring. A copy of the nomination form can be downloaded at www.iie.org/goldbergprize.
