Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for International Military Transition Research Grant
The International Military Transition Research Grant prioritizes outcomes that enhance the global competitiveness and employability of transitioning service members. A key outcome is to equip them with skills that are in demand internationally, particularly in regions with significant U.S. military presence or interests. The U.S. Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service is one state agency that collaborates with the Department of Defense to facilitate security cooperation and foreign assistance programs. These initiatives often create opportunities for transitioning service members to leverage their skills in international settings.
Measuring Success in Diverse Global Environments
Success for this grant is measured by the ability of transitioning service members to secure employment or start businesses in international markets. The grant focuses on regions with unique challenges and opportunities, such as the U.S.-Mexico border region or areas with significant U.S. military bases overseas. For instance, the presence of major U.S. military installations in Germany and Japan creates a demand for skilled workers who can support security and defense industries. The grant prioritizes outcomes that address these regional needs and facilitate the integration of transitioning service members into the global workforce.
Target Outcomes and Metrics
The grant targets several key outcomes, including the development of skills relevant to international business, security, and technology sectors. Metrics used to evaluate the success of grant-funded projects include the number of transitioning service members who secure international employment or start their own businesses, as well as the growth and sustainability of these ventures over time. Additionally, the grant prioritizes projects that foster partnerships between U.S.-based organizations and international entities, such as those in Pennsylvania and Delaware, which have significant military and defense industries. The outcomes are designed to be responsive to the needs of the international community, including Non-Profit Support Services and Science, Technology Research & Development initiatives that support global security and cooperation.
