Opportunity Summary:
The Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Civic Education Workshop is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity run through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. It is an open, discretionary competition to select one organization to design and deliver a one-week civic education workshop in Washington, D.C., planned for Spring 2011. The purpose of the workshop is to deepen FLEX students' understanding of democratic principles and the role those principles play in a healthy civil society, while also giving students practical tools and ideas they can bring back to their home countries to support positive community change.
The workshop is intended for about 100 high school FLEX participants from 10 countries in Eurasia who are already in the United States for the 2010-2011 academic year as part of the broader FLEX program. Those roughly 100 workshop attendees are not automatically included; they are expected to be chosen through an essay contest from a much larger pool of approximately 976 FLEX academic-year students. In other words, the grantee would be working with a competitively selected group of students who have already demonstrated motivation and interest, and the program design should be substantive enough to match that level of engagement.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (with eligibility details referenced in the full announcement). The award instrument is a grant, and the opportunity anticipates making one award. The estimated total funding for the award is $184,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling, indicating the program is designed around a single grant at or up to that amount.
A cost-sharing or matching component is required, and the announcement notes that proposals offering cost sharing in ways that help maximize the number of participants will be viewed very favorably. This signals that, beyond simply meeting the requirement, applicants are encouraged to leverage additional resources, partnerships, or in-kind support to expand participation or strengthen program delivery without increasing federal costs.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number ECA-PE-C-PY-11-16 and the CFDA listing 19.415 (Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs - Citizen Exchanges). The opportunity was posted December 10, 2010, with an application closing date of January 4, 2011, and it was archived January 5, 2011. Applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically are directed to contact Hans Posey, Program Specialist, at poseyhe@state.gov.
