Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a two-year, education-focused cooperative agreement offered by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia. The program is titled "Intensive Summer Training of Trainers for English Language Teachers and Summer Camp for Students" and is designed to strengthen English language teaching capacity across Georgia by investing in experienced English teachers who can become effective trainers of other teachers. The central idea is to build a sustainable, nationwide professional development network by equipping a select group of skilled Georgian teachers with deeper theoretical and hands-on expertise in teaching English as a foreign language, so they can return to their regions and lead high-quality training for their peers.
The project combines two main components. First, PAS plans to use part of the funding to send Georgian teachers of English to the United States for an intensive summer English language course, with the goal of improving participants' language proficiency and expanding their exposure to native English speakers and modern instructional approaches. Second, the program will fund the organization of English-language camps in Georgia for teachers and students. These camps are meant to reinforce language learning through immersive practice, help teachers sharpen classroom techniques in an applied setting, and give students meaningful opportunities to use English in interactive, real-world contexts.
Participants will be drawn from the English Language through Civic Education (ELCE) program, previously known as CETEL. The target group includes secondary school English teachers, many of whom work in rural communities and have limited opportunities to interact with native English speakers or access advanced professional development. By focusing on these teachers, the program aims to address gaps in training and exposure that can be more pronounced outside major urban centers, while creating local trainers who can multiply the impact by training additional teachers nationwide.
Funding is structured around the 2012-2013 academic year with the possibility of extending into 2013-2014, depending on available funds and PAS discretion. PAS indicated up to $495,050 for activities in 2012-2013, with an additional extension amount of $544,555 for 2013-2014. The total estimated funding for the full period is $1,039,605, and the announcement lists an award floor and ceiling equal to that amount, with an expectation of a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and Georgian nonprofit/non-governmental organizations and educational institutions, specifically private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding instrument type listed as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies that the U.S. government expects a higher level of involvement or collaboration during implementation compared to a standard grant.
The funding opportunity number is DOSGEO 12 CA 003 GEO 062212, and it falls under CFDA 19.900 (AEECA/ESF PD Programs). The announcement was posted June 22, 2012, with a proposal deadline of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of September 30, 2012. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Giorgi Gabunia, Administrative Assistant/Grants Manager at the U.S. Mission to Georgia (phone +995 32 277 926; email gabuniag@state.gov).
