Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005475
The FY 2019 Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005475) is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically through the Office of Academic Exchange Programs and its Study of the U.S. Branch (ECA/A/E/USS). The program uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means the Department of State expects to be actively involved in the project’s execution rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The purpose of the competition is to select U.S.-based organizations to design and carry out Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSIs) for international student leaders, contingent on the availability of FY 2019 funds.
At its core, the opportunity is asking eligible U.S. organizations to propose and administer a set of academic and experiential institutes that introduce participants to U.S. society, institutions, and key thematic topics through structured programming. Applicants must choose between two program configurations. Option A, described as SUSIs for Student Leaders (Global), includes seven separate institutes. Option B, SUSIs for Student Leaders from Europe, includes four institutes. In practical terms, an applicant is expected to build a complete program plan around one of these options, including the academic content, leadership and civic engagement components, site visits, cultural activities, and the overall participant experience that characterizes SUSI programming.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. public and private non-profit organizations and accredited U.S. post-secondary educational institutions, including community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and public or private universities. Nonprofits must meet the requirements associated with 26 USC 501(c)(3), as referenced in the announcement’s eligibility section. The eligible applicant categories listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than higher education institutions), with a note that additional eligibility details are provided in the full announcement.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 19.009 and categorized under an “Other” funding activity classification (with further clarification indicated in the full text of the notice). The posting date for the opportunity is November 14, 2018, with an application deadline of January 11, 2019. The award ceiling is stated as $7,800,000. The notice shows “Expected Awards: 0,” which can appear in federal listings for a variety of administrative reasons and does not necessarily mean awards will not be made; it simply reflects what was entered in the listing at the time. The description also emphasizes that implementation is pending the availability of FY 2019 funds, meaning final funding depends on appropriations and internal allocation decisions.
Overall, this funding opportunity is aimed at organizations with the capacity to run substantial international exchange programming: developing institute curricula and activities, coordinating logistics and participant support, and working closely with ECA under a cooperative agreement structure. Applicants are expected to propose a comprehensive approach for delivering either the global set of seven institutes or the Europe-focused set of four institutes, aligned with the SUSI model and ECA’s public diplomacy and educational exchange objectives.Apply for SFOP0005475
