Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 English Language Programs opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DOSRUS 16 GR 001) is a discretionary U.S. government grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of State (DOS-RUS) through the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, Public Affairs Section (PAS Moscow). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means the recipient is expected to work closely with the Embassy rather than operating entirely independently. In practice, the selected organization would coordinate regularly with the designated PAS Moscow Program Officer during the planning, delivery, and evaluation phases of each English Language Teaching (ELT) activity supported under the award.
The core purpose of the award is to provide hands-on technical and logistical support for English language programming in Russia, especially for major ELT events and projects. Instead of being asked to design a standalone curriculum from scratch, the grantee is primarily expected to make programs work on the ground by handling the operational details that allow trainings, workshops, and related activities to run smoothly. This includes negotiating and arranging venues, coordinating transportation and local transfers, booking hotels, organizing meals, liaising with online course providers when applicable, and purchasing needed materials and supplies. The Embassy may also direct the recipient to provide other related logistical and technical support as program needs evolve, so proposals would need to reflect readiness to manage changing requirements while staying aligned with Embassy guidance.
Accountability and financial management are emphasized in the description. The grantee must provide PAS Moscow with program account records on a regular basis, indicating that routine reporting and clear documentation of expenditures are a central expectation. Because the award supports multiple events or projects over the period of performance, the recipient should anticipate ongoing coordination, detailed recordkeeping, and timely submission of financial or program-related documentation as requested by the Embassy.
From a funding and competition standpoint, the award ceiling is $200,000, and the agency expected to make one award. The opportunity is categorized under Education, with an additional classification noted as "Other" based on the agency's internal clarification. The CFDA number associated with the program is 19.040. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the original announcement, which typically signals that non-traditional applicants beyond standard categories may be considered if they meet the Embassy's requirements.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was created and posted on December 8, 2015, with an application deadline of January 15, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates are the same). Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a service-and-support cooperative agreement meant to ensure Embassy-sponsored English language initiatives in Russia have reliable logistical execution, close day-to-day coordination with PAS Moscow, and transparent financial tracking throughout implementation.
