Unique users who contribute research and download materials at http//voer.edu.vn is 50,000 to 80,000 per day 25-100 increase over 2014. In peak period, this can reach 100,000 users. To accommodate the increase, we are developing more user functions for our Hanoi Spring software and maintaining strong hardware with 5 servers at our data center. To accelerate the growth of both active users/contributors and qualified content, we collaborated with the Vietnam Northern Academic Library Association, the Vietnam Southern Academic Library Association and the Center for Research and Development on Open Technology under the Vietnam Ministry of Science and Technology to organize a series of OER workshops and training sessions at several universities across Vietnam, attracting 180 participants who were university leaders, managers of libraries, librarians and faculty members. They were the key people to directly contribute their materials to our OER website and spread our call for qualified materials.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0US Graduate Fellowship Program New pilot initiative for VNF to provide scholarship support and selection to top Vietnamese scholars to attend US universities. It stands on the strength of hundreds of young Vietnamese with graduate degrees who have returned to Vietnam after finishing graduate training under the Vietnam Education Foundation. Mobilizes VEF fellows to help create next generation of scientists and engineers for Vietnam. This initiative replicates interview and selection process with voluntary service from VEF Alumni and a network of leading American professors. Program offers a rigorous selection process to recommend the best candidates to US graduate schools. In this pilot year, we had more than 200 applicants, whom we screened and interviewed down to 20 final selectees who received our formal letter of recommendation. Our team of voluntary VEF Fellows is coaching selectees on graduate school applications. Result exceeded expectation--16 were accepted to top US graduate schools. In June 2017, VNF hosted pre-departure orientation program to prepare them for study in US.
