Opportunity Summary:
The Department of State, through the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES) Office of Science and Technology Cooperation, released a discretionary Request for Applications (RFA) to support the U.S. Science Envoys Program by handling its behind-the-scenes administration. The grant is designed to fund an organization that can take on the practical work that makes the program run smoothly, especially the coordination required when U.S. Science Envoys travel internationally on official engagements tied to science, technology, and environmental cooperation.
At its core, this opportunity funds administrative, logistical, and financial management support for the Science Envoys Program. The selected recipient would be responsible for planning and managing travel itineraries and making the necessary logistical arrangements for both international and domestic travel connected to envoy trips. That includes coordinating transportation, scheduling, and other related trip needs, as well as managing associated costs and activities that occur while envoys are overseas. In other words, the award is not primarily for conducting research or running scientific projects directly, but for ensuring the envoys can carry out their diplomatic and outreach missions effectively by removing administrative friction and ensuring travel and event execution are handled professionally.
Funding is provided as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally signals that the Department of State expects to be involved in overseeing or collaborating on aspects of implementation. The award is funded with FY 2011 Public Diplomacy (PD) funds, and the legal authority cited for the project is the Smith-Mundt Act, reflecting its public diplomacy and international engagement purpose. The total amount available is up to USD 200,000, with an award ceiling of 200,000 and an award floor of 0, and the Department anticipated making one award.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit/nongovernmental organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education under the eligible applicant category listed. A key application requirement is demonstrating significant, relevant experience. Applicants must be able to show they have a strong track record in planning travel itineraries and implementing international meetings and events overseas, which fits the program’s heavy emphasis on complex international logistics and on-the-ground coordination.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number OES OTI 11 001 and aligns with the funding activity category of Environment, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, under CFDA 19.017 (Environmental and Scientific Partnerships and Programs). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted June 23, 2011, with an application closing date of July 25, 2011, and an archive date of August 24, 2011.
