Opportunity Summary:
The Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP) is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity run through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Office of Academic Exchange Programs (European Programs Branch). It funds one organization to administer a semester-long, non-degree professional development experience in the United States for early-career university faculty from a set of countries in Europe and Eurasia. The overall purpose is academic exchange and capacity building, giving promising junior faculty the chance to strengthen teaching, research skills, and professional networks through a structured placement at a U.S. college or university, paired with oversight and follow-on engagement once they return home.
Under this competition, eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects substantial involvement during implementation rather than a hands-off grant. Only one award is expected.
Participants are drawn from Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The recipient organization is responsible for recruiting and selecting candidates in close coordination with the Public Affairs Sections at U.S. Embassies in each participating country, except Uzbekistan, where recruitment is handled directly by the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent. The program design anticipates supporting roughly three to six participants per country, for a total cohort of at least 70 fully funded fellows.
The selected administering organization must line up suitable U.S. host campuses and place fellows in a one-semester, non-degree program. In practical terms, that means identifying and securing commitments from U.S. colleges and universities that can provide an appropriate academic home, relevant coursework or auditing options, mentorship, and other professional development activities aligned with fellows fields and goals. Beyond placements, the recipient carries the core operational workload: full financial management of the award, ongoing support and monitoring of fellows during their stay in the United States, and planning for follow-on activities after fellows return to their home countries to reinforce longer-term impact.
Funding is capped at $1,497,000 total (also listed as the estimated total funding and award ceiling), contingent on the availability of funds. Cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity is categorized under CFDA 19.011 (Academic Exchange Programs / Special Academic Exchange Programs). The original posting date was October 18, 2010, with a closing date of January 6, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on January 7, 2011.
