Opportunity Summary:
The International Affairs Partnership Program is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity issued by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia (U.S. Mission to Georgia). It is designed to fund a three-year academic partnership between a U.S. university and the School of Law and Politics (SLP) at the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA). The central purpose is to raise the quality of International Relations instruction at GIPA and to support the long-term institutional development of SLP, strengthening its capacity as an academic unit over time rather than only delivering short-term activities.
The program is structured as a collaborative, multi-year project where a U.S. academic institution with relevant expertise in International Relations, Political Science, or Foreign Policy (and referenced in eligibility language as U.S. university public administration programs) would work directly with GIPA SLP to modernize and deepen teaching and program offerings. The opportunity emphasizes practical ways to accomplish this, including faculty development (such as training, mentoring, and professional development for instructors), curriculum and instructional materials development (updating course content, syllabi, and teaching resources), and broader program development. One specific example named in the announcement is the potential creation of a joint long-distance MA degree program, indicating that proposals can include online or hybrid models that connect U.S. and Georgian academic instruction.
In addition to academic content upgrades, the grant encourages activities that build lasting institutional ties and academic networks. These may include exchanges of professors and students to support cross-cultural learning and direct academic collaboration, as well as joint research initiatives that can enhance scholarly output and help anchor the partnership in shared intellectual work. Overall, the requested project is intended to improve educational standards while also helping SLP develop sustainably through stronger faculty capacity, improved academic programming, and enduring linkages to a U.S. partner institution.
Funding for the project is approximately $495,000 total over three years, with the estimated total funding listed at $495,000 and an award range essentially fixed between $495,000 (floor) and $495,050 (ceiling). The grantmaker expects to make one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant is not required to contribute additional funds as a formal match. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is education. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.900 (AEECA/ESF PD Programs).
Eligibility is limited to U.S. higher education institutions, including private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. Direct funding to non-U.S. entities is not available under this announcement, so while GIPA is the partner, the applicant and direct recipient of U.S. government funds must be a U.S. university. The opportunity was posted May 24, 2013, and the application deadline was extended to July 26, 2013 (originally July 21, 2013). For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Nino Gagua, Grants Programs Specialist, at +995 322 77628 or gaguan@state.gov.
