Opportunity Summary:

The 2014 Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Fellowship and Summer Enrichment Program is a federal discretionary funding opportunity designed to build a stronger, more diverse pipeline of future U.S. diplomats. The program focuses on attracting talented young people who are interested in careers in the U.S. Department of State Foreign Service, with an explicit emphasis on encouraging applicants from minority groups that have been historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service as well as individuals with financial need. In practical terms, the opportunity supports programming that helps students understand U.S. foreign policy, strengthen academic and professional skills, and prepare for competitive entry into the Foreign Service.

The initiative is structured around two connected components. The International Affairs Graduate Fellowship Program supports students pursuing graduate education and provides professional development intended to position fellows for entry into the Department of State Foreign Service. Alongside that, the undergraduate Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) offers undergraduates an immersive experience to broaden their knowledge of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs while also improving skills relevant to public service and international careers. Together, the two tracks are meant to create a coherent pathway from early exposure and preparation at the undergraduate level to advanced study, professional growth, and eventual Foreign Service readiness at the graduate level.

This funding opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number HR HRCRB 14 001 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, signaling that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is Education, and the program is listed under CFDA 19.020 (Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Program). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

The total estimated funding amount is $2,500,000, with an award ceiling of $2,500,000 and an award floor of $2,500,000, indicating an expectation of a single award at that amount. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on July 3, 2013, with an application closing date of August 9, 2013, and it was archived on September 8, 2013.

For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement through Grants.gov, the notice directs them to the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 (excluding federal holidays) at 1-800-518-4726 or via email at support@grants.gov.
