Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), announced a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ECA PE C PY 12 48) to support a set of youth-focused training workshops tied to ECA-funded high school exchange programs. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would carry out the project while coordinating closely with the government on key elements of planning and implementation. The overall aim is to build leadership and practical skills among exchange students through structured workshop programming delivered over multiple years.
The grant will fund two distinct workshop series, each designed to be delivered to three consecutive cohorts of selected high school exchange students. The workshops are expected to run during the February to April window in three successive years: 2013, 2014, and 2015. One workshop series centers on English language teaching, focusing on preparing youth leaders to teach or support English learning in their communities. The second workshop series focuses on social media and other technologies as tools for promoting civil society, with an emphasis on constructive civic engagement, community participation, and the responsible use of digital platforms to support social good.
Applicants are allowed to apply in one of two ways: they may submit a single proposal that covers both workshop series, or they may submit a proposal covering only one of the two series. A strict submission rule applies: if the same applicant submits multiple proposals under this competition, all submissions from that applicant will be deemed ineligible and will not move forward in the review process. This requirement effectively forces applicants to consolidate their approach into one comprehensive application rather than trying to compete with multiple separate submissions.
Funding for the opportunity is estimated at $750,000 total, with an anticipated number of awards of two. Individual awards are expected to fall between an award floor of $300,000 and an award ceiling of $750,000, depending on the scope of the proposed work and whether an applicant proposes one workshop series or both. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants must plan to contribute allowable non-federal resources to help cover project costs, consistent with the terms laid out in the full announcement.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.415 (Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs - Citizen Exchanges). The announcement was posted May 1, 2012, with an application deadline of May 31, 2012, and it was archived June 1, 2012.
