Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Youth Leadership and Teacher Professional Development Program with Bosnia and Herzegovina is a U.S. Department of State grant competition run by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically through the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. The opportunity funds an organization to design and deliver a U.S.-based exchange focused on civic education, leadership development, and community service. The target audience is secondary school students and teachers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the overall goal of strengthening participants' leadership skills, civic engagement, and capacity to contribute positively to their communities through hands-on learning and structured exchange programming.
The program is planned as a three- to four-week exchange in the United States for approximately 21 participants, scheduled for April/May 2015. A key operational detail is that recruitment, screening, and final selection of the Bosnian participants is handled by the Office of Public Affairs (OPA) at the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo, rather than by the grantee. The award recipient is responsible for implementing the U.S. program components once participants are selected, and will also coordinate with OPA on follow-on or alumni activities after the exchange, meaning the grant expects attention not only to the in-country U.S. experience but also to post-program engagement that sustains impact.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the U.S. government in the program's design, execution, and oversight compared with a standard grant. ECA states its intent to make one award structured as a base year plus two optional years, with an estimated total program value of up to $330,000 across the full period. The notice lists an award ceiling of $330,000 and an award floor of $110,000, signaling that proposals could be funded at different levels depending on scope and proposed activities. The opportunity also carries a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind) as part of the overall project budget.
Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, as well as public, state-controlled, and private institutions of higher education, with an "others" category also referenced in the listing (though no additional eligibility explanation is provided in the excerpt). The funding opportunity is categorized under CFDA 19.415, Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs (Citizen Exchanges), which aligns with ECA's mission of building mutual understanding through exchange and people-to-people programming.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on February 26, 2014, and the application deadline (closing date) is April 21, 2014, with an archive date of May 21, 2014. The listing provides Grants.gov support contact information for applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement. The official funding opportunity number is ECA-ECAPEC-14-045, which applicants would use to locate the complete solicitation and submission instructions on Grants.gov.
