Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2017 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) Collaborative Services Award is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity administered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of International Visitors within the Professional and Cultural Exchanges bureau (ECA/PE/V). It is offered as an open, discretionary competition intended to support collaborative services connected to the International Visitor Leadership Program, the Department of State's flagship professional exchange initiative.
The IVLP is designed to strengthen mutual understanding between the United States and other countries by bringing current and emerging foreign leaders to the United States for short-term, carefully structured professional visits. These visits are built around the participants' professional fields and interests and are also meant to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives. In practice, this means the supported work under this award would relate to enabling, coordinating, and delivering elements of these inbound professional exchange experiences, ensuring the visits are purposeful, well-organized, and aligned with both participant needs and U.S. diplomatic priorities.
This opportunity is funded through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a closer working relationship with the federal agency during implementation than a standard grant. The program falls under CFDA number 19.402 and is categorized under a broader funding activity classification listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement). The agency listed for the opportunity is DOS-ECA.
Eligible applicants include a range of U.S.-based organizations capable of carrying out exchange-related programming and services. This includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions). The eligibility list also includes an "Others" category, with details expected to be explained in the official notice under additional eligibility information.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on May 18, 2016, with the original and current application deadline both listed as July 11, 2016. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $975,000. The listing does not clearly state the anticipated number of awards in the provided excerpt, but it signals a competitive process for one or more cooperative agreements up to the ceiling amount.
Overall, this funding opportunity supports the infrastructure and services that help make IVLP exchanges possible, reinforcing professional connections and U.S. engagement with foreign leaders through structured, short-term U.S. visits that advance mutual understanding and U.S. foreign policy goals.
