Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Survey of International Educational Exchange Activity with the United States," is a discretionary funding competition offered by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically through the Educational Information and Resources Branch within the Office of Global Educational Programs. The central purpose of the award is to support the design and execution of a comprehensive statistical survey, described as a census, that measures key areas of international educational exchange connected to the United States. In practical terms, the funded project is meant to produce reliable, nationwide counts and related statistics about three major populations: foreign nationals enrolled in U.S. institutions of higher education, foreign scholars affiliated with U.S. institutions, and U.S. students participating in study abroad programs.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to be more actively involved than it would be under a standard grant. While the detailed roles and responsibilities would be spelled out in the full announcement, cooperative agreements commonly involve substantial programmatic collaboration, ongoing coordination, and federal input on deliverables, methodology, or dissemination. The activity category is listed as "Other," with a note to consult the full announcement for specifics, signaling that the work may not fit neatly into a single standard program bucket and may include mixed elements such as data collection, analysis, reporting, and potentially public dissemination.
The competition anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000, indicating the project is expected to be funded at or near that level for the selected recipient. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants must contribute non-federal resources in an amount or manner defined in the full announcement. This is an important planning factor for applicants because it affects budget structure, allowable sources of match, documentation, and the organization’s ability to sustain the required contribution over the project period.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than higher education institutions). In other words, the opportunity is aimed at universities and qualified nonprofit organizations with the capacity to run a large-scale, methodologically sound survey effort. Because the project is essentially a national census-style data collection effort across multiple education and exchange segments, strong applicants would likely need demonstrated expertise in survey research, data management, stakeholder coordination with higher education institutions and study abroad providers, and the ability to produce accurate, credible statistics on a recurring schedule or within a fixed reporting cycle defined by ECA.
Key timeline information shows the opportunity was posted and created on May 28, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2010, and an archive date of June 25, 2010. This indicates it was a time-limited competition with a relatively short application window of just under a month. The program is associated with CFDA number 19.432, which corresponds to Academic Exchange Programs and Educational Advising and Student Services, reinforcing that the expected outputs support national understanding and administration of educational exchange.
Applicants seeking the full technical requirements, such as expected methodologies, reporting formats, deliverables, data definitions, quality controls, sampling versus census expectations, privacy or data security considerations, and the precise cost-share rules, are directed to consult the full announcement via the additional information link referenced in the notice. For access issues, the listed point of contact is Hans Posey, Program Specialist, reachable at poseyhe@state.gov.
