Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), through its Office of Academic Exchange Programs and Branch for the Study of the United States, is soliciting proposals to design and run a five-week Study of the U.S. Institute (SUSI) focused on U.S. Foreign Policy for East Asian student leaders. The institute is planned to begin in July 2010, contingent on the availability of funds, and must be hosted at an accredited postsecondary institution in the United States. The core purpose is to deliver an intensive academic and experiential program for up to 20 undergraduate participants from East Asia that examines the major ideas, institutions, and debates shaping U.S. foreign policy, while also helping students better understand U.S. society and culture and strengthening their leadership skills.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the applicant would implement the program in close coordination with the U.S. Department of State rather than operating fully independently. ECA expects to make one award under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $240,000 and an award ceiling of $240,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, so the selected organization must contribute allowable non-federal resources as part of the overall project budget. The program falls under CFDA 19.009 (Academic Exchange Programs, Undergraduate Programs).
Eligible applicants include U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The funding opportunity number is ECA-A-E-USS-10-26. The announcement was posted on November 27, 2009, and the proposal deadline (original and current closing date) is January 14, 2010, with the archive date listed as January 15, 2010.
Applicants are expected to propose a comprehensive institute structure that combines rigorous academic content on U.S. foreign policy with programming that exposes participants to U.S. civic life and cultural context, alongside intentional leadership development. While the short synopsis highlights these broad requirements, the full announcement would typically spell out the expected curriculum balance, program components (such as lectures, seminars, site visits, and structured cultural activities), participant support and logistics, monitoring and evaluation expectations, and detailed budget guidelines. For access issues or questions related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Hans Posey, Program Specialist, at poseyhe@state.gov.
