Opportunity Summary:
The U.S.-Russia University Partnership Program (Funding Opportunity Number RUS 14 GR 001) was a FY 2014 discretionary grant competition issued by the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow under the U.S. Mission to Russia. The central purpose of the opportunity was to fund the development and operation of a structured university partnership program that would pair Russian institutions of higher education with counterpart universities in the United States. The program was designed to help these matched institutions collaborate on practical, jointly developed projects, with an emphasis on creating durable, sustainable relationships that would continue beyond the end of the grant period rather than producing short-term, one-off exchanges.
The award was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government anticipated being substantially involved in the project’s implementation and oversight compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category was education, and the opportunity was tied to CFDA 19.900 (AEECA/ESF Public Diplomacy Programs). The announcement anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with total estimated funding of $1,500,000. Notably, the award ceiling and floor were both set at $1,500,000, effectively indicating one fixed-amount award at that level. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Eligible applicants included U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S. nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code (specifically referenced as 26 USC 501(c)(3)), including nonprofits other than institutions of higher education. In practice, this eligibility structure allowed either universities themselves or qualified nonprofit organizations with relevant program-management capacity to propose and run the partnership model, recruit and match participating institutions, and support the joint work plans between U.S. and Russian universities.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 18, 2014, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of August 29, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on September 28, 2014.
