Opportunity Summary:
The Global Undergraduate Exchange Program in Serbia and Montenegro is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) funding opportunity to operate an undergraduate academic exchange program focused on participants from Serbia and Montenegro. The award is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient organization would not simply receive funds and operate independently, but would work closely with ECA throughout implementation under substantial federal involvement (for example, coordination on program design, participant support, reporting, and oversight). The funding activity is listed under an "Other" category with details referenced in the full announcement, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA 19.009 (Academic Exchange Programs - Undergraduate Programs), signaling that the core purpose is educational exchange at the undergraduate level.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,537,575 and an award ceiling equal to that amount. In practical terms, this suggests ECA expected to fund a single prime implementer to run the full scope of the program rather than splitting the work across multiple separate awards. The program also required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) toward the total project cost, consistent with the rules outlined in the full announcement.
Eligibility was open to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The listing notes "Others" with a reference to additional eligibility details in the full announcement, so the authoritative guidance on any further restrictions or requirements would be in the complete notice.
Key dates show the notice was posted on September 30, 2011, with an original closing date of November 24, 2011, later updated to a current closing date of November 25, 2011. The archive date is November 26, 2011, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and has been moved into an archived status for historical reference.
