Opportunity Summary:
The U.S.-UK CVE Community Leaders Two-way Exchange is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to the United Kingdom, designed to support a two-direction exchange program focused on countering violent extremism (CVE) through community-based learning and dialogue. The central idea is to bring together community leaders from the United States and the United Kingdom who are actively engaged in promoting tolerance, strengthening community cohesion, and preventing radicalization. By placing practitioners in direct contact with one another across multiple locations, the program aims to help participants compare approaches, share practical tools, and learn what has worked (and what has not) in addressing difficult community tensions and extremist recruitment pressures.
The exchange is structured in two phases. First, the UK delegation travels to the United States and visits three U.S. cities, where they will meet with a range of local community stakeholders. While the notice does not list the cities or the exact stakeholder groups, the intent is clearly to expose the UK participants to on-the-ground community engagement models and to facilitate frank discussions with people involved in prevention, resilience-building, and local dialogue. After a gap of roughly three to four months, the exchange becomes reciprocal: a U.S. group then travels to the United Kingdom. This time separation suggests the program expects participants to reflect on the first leg, begin adapting ideas to their own settings, and then continue the learning process during the return visit by seeing UK-based practices and community dynamics firsthand.
A major goal is to increase both the amount and the quality of dialogue within communities on sensitive and often polarizing issues tied to identity, grievance, social exclusion, and extremist narratives. Beyond the immediate CVE focus, the program also aims to broaden the concept of the "Special Relationship" by building stronger people-to-people and community-to-community links, especially among UK communities that may not benefit from longstanding U.S.-UK ties. In other words, the grant is not only about professional exchange among practitioners; it is also about forging durable relationships and mutual understanding at the community level, where trust and communication are crucial for prevention work.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under the humanities/cultural affairs activity area (CFDA 19.415) and uses a grant funding instrument. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and U.S.-recognized nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category). The funding opportunity number is DOS LONDON PD 2016 07. The award ceiling is $145,000, and the posting anticipated up to 8 awards. The opportunity was created on August 19, 2016, with an original application closing date of September 19, 2016. Applications were to be submitted electronically by email to Londongrants@state.gov.
