Opportunity Summary:
The Summer Institutes for European Student Leaders grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ECA A E EUR 13 02 OY B) was offered by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically through the Europe/Eurasia Branch of the Office of Academic Exchange Programs. It sought proposals to design and run two separate Summer Institutes in the United States for European student leaders. The overall goal was to bring highly motivated undergraduate students, or recent high school graduates, from selected European countries to U.S. campuses for an intensive academic and leadership experience built around in-depth seminars on topics specified in the full program announcement (referred to as the RFGP). Each institute was structured to last about five weeks, starting in mid-June 2013, and it was expected that the core institute programming would be hosted at U.S. academic institutions.
A key program feature was that each institute would end with a short capstone component in Washington, D.C., lasting two to three days. This final segment was intended to complement the campus-based academic work by giving participants exposure to national-level institutions and a broader view of U.S. public life and policy-related environments. The program was positioned as an academic exchange and leadership development initiative, emphasizing seminar-style learning and a cohort experience for emerging European leaders.
Funding was to be provided through cooperative agreements, meaning the government anticipated substantial involvement in shaping or overseeing program implementation rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal agency interaction. The opportunity was discretionary, with an anticipated total funding amount of $1,200,000 across two awards. The expected number of awards was two, with an award ceiling of $600,000 per cooperative agreement. Importantly, the announcement noted that making these awards depended on the availability of Fiscal Year 2013 funds.
Eligibility was open to U.S.-based organizations capable of carrying out the institutes, including accredited public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The listing also indicated that cost sharing or matching was required, although the specific expectations were left to the full announcement. Prospective applicants were encouraged to consult the complete program notice for detailed eligibility conditions, program requirements, and the seminar topics to be addressed.
The opportunity was posted on August 10, 2012, with an application deadline of October 4, 2012, and it was archived on October 5, 2012. The relevant CFDA number was 19.009 (Academic Exchange Programs, Undergraduate Programs). For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed program contact was Hans Posey, Program Specialist, reachable at poseyhe@state.gov.
