Institutional improvements may include: short-term and long-term institutional capacity and sustainability, including diverse and sustainable funding streams; progress toward formal accreditation with Iraqi and U.S. accrediting bodies; curriculum development and reform; professional skills development; and increased size and diversity of the student body.
