Opportunity Summary:
The Women in University Administration Professional Exchange was a U.S. Department of State public diplomacy grant opportunity run by the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (SCA), through its Office of Press and Public Diplomacy. The program was designed to bring women who work as administrators at colleges and universities in South and Central Asia to the United States for a short professional exchange of roughly two to three weeks. The core purpose was professional development: exposing these participants to international standards, current practices, and practical models of university administration in the U.S., with the broader intent of strengthening institutional capacity and professional networks in the participants' home countries. The eligible countries in the SCA region were Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
Funding was offered as a single cooperative agreement, meaning the State Department expected to stay involved in key aspects of the program rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The total funding available was estimated at $225,000, with an anticipated award range from $200,000 (floor) up to $225,000 (ceiling), and the expectation was to make one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, though they could propose leveraged resources if relevant.
The competition was limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations that are recognized under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax code. In addition, the lead organization needed to be an official Exchange Visitor Program sponsor authorized to issue the Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1), since the exchange visit to the United States would be administered under the J-1 framework. In practical terms, this requirement shaped who could apply: the implementer needed both programmatic capacity (designing a professional itinerary, arranging institutional visits, and managing participant support) and the regulatory/administrative authority to sponsor visiting exchange participants.
Operationally, the State Department indicated that after the award was made, SCA would coordinate the participating country or countries and the selection of individual participants with the implementing partner. The grantee's role was to develop and deliver the exchange program in the United States for those SCA-sponsored participants, aligning activities with the program's public diplomacy goals and the foreign policy objectives of the United States. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the opportunity was 19.040, Public Diplomacy Programs.
Administrative details from the announcement included the funding opportunity number SCAPPD-15-AW-173-SCA-06262015 and a posting date of June 26, 2015. The application deadline was July 27, 2015, and the opportunity was later archived on August 26, 2015. A contact person was listed for access issues and inquiries: Ellen Delage at the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, Office of Press and Public Diplomacy.
