Description

The Study of the U.S. Branch, Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA/A/E/USS), invites proposal submissions for the design and implementation of two (2) Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders on Women’s Leadership. Applicants may submit only one proposal to implement one Institute under this competition. Taking place over the course of five weeks at a U.S. academic institution, each Institute should be organized for a group of 20 foreign undergraduate female students focusing on the history and participation of women in public life in the United States and linkages to global women’s issues. Information on the scheduling of the Institute and grouping of participants can be found in Section I.5 of the RFGP. Applicants may also apply to take the lead in organizing the opening workshop for 80 SUSI participants and 20 U.S. student ambassadors, all of whom will continue on to Study of the U.S. Institutes on Women’s Leadership (including the two Institutes in this solicitation and two Institutes funded through separate awards). More information on this can be found in the attached Project Objectives, Goals, and Implementation. ECA plans to award two Cooperative Agreements for the implementation of two Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders on Women’s Leadership and welcomes applications from accredited post-secondary education institutions in the United States and public and private non-profit organizations (see Eligibility Information, section III of the RFGP). The awarding of Cooperative Agreements for these programs is contingent upon the availability of FY 2015 funds. It is ECA’s intent to award two cooperative agreements for one base year plus two option years for an estimated total amount of $1,440,000.
