Opportunity Summary:
The Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Graduate Fellowship and Summer Enrichment Program grant opportunity is a US Department of State funding competition intended to support the operation of two connected talent-development programs that feed into the Department of State Foreign Service pipeline. The Bureau of Human Resources, Office of Recruitment, Examination and Employment (HR/REE) announced an open competition for a single cooperative agreement awardee that would take responsibility for running the full set of programmatic, financial, and administrative functions for FY 2011. In practical terms, the selected organization would serve as the managing entity that administers both the graduate fellowship and the summer enrichment program on the Department's behalf, working closely with the government under a cooperative agreement structure.
The opportunity covers two major components. First is the Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Graduate Fellowship Program, which is designed to recruit, support, and develop new talent for careers in the Department of State Foreign Service. A central feature is financial assistance that helps fellows complete a masters degree, paired with a subsequent service commitment to the Department of State. Second is the Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Summer Enrichment Program, described as a six-week academic summer program that also functions as an important recruiting tool for the Foreign Service. Taken together, the programs are aimed at expanding and strengthening the future Foreign Service workforce, with particular emphasis on attracting and preparing participants who will bring diverse experiences and perspectives into international affairs careers.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, indicating that the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement during performance rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement. The announcement anticipated making one award, and the estimated total funding amount listed is $2,500,000. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as 0), which typically means the applicant must rely on the full solicitation details to understand the expected budget range and how costs should be proposed. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified for applicants.
Eligibility is narrow and specific. To qualify, an applicant must be a nonprofit national minority-serving organization with a demonstrated history of service to racial and ethnic minority populations and must be recognized under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code. In addition, the Department set an experience threshold: organizations with fewer than five years of experience administering a program of comparable size, nature, and complexity are not eligible to compete. The eligible applicant categories also reference private and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education and "others" as clarified in the full announcement, but the controlling eligibility requirement is the nonprofit national minority-serving organization criteria and the minimum experience requirement.
Key dates reflect a short federal application window typical of many competitive opportunities. The opportunity was posted on May 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2010, and an archive date of July 21, 2010. Although the program activities are for FY 2011, the award was anticipated to be made in July 2010, aligning with the lead time needed to recruit cohorts and run academic and program logistics. The listing is associated with CFDA number 19.020 (Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Program), and the funding opportunity number is S-LMAQM-10-RFA-HR-REE-010. The issuing agency is shown as the Office of Acquisitions Management, reflecting the acquisition and assistance office responsible for administering the award process.
For access and administrative support, the announcement points applicants to the full posting on Grants.gov and provides a contact for assistance if there are issues accessing the announcement electronically: Veronica Thompson, Grants Management Specialist, associated with the Rangel International Affairs Graduate Fellowship and Summer Enrichment Program.
