Opportunity Information: Apply for ECA ECAAE 17 014
The FY 2017 Study of the U.S. Institute for Student Leaders on Comparative Public Policymaking is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) grant opportunity to fund the design and delivery of a single Study of the U.S. Institute (SUSI) program for undergraduate student leaders from Pakistan. The core purpose is to bring roughly 30 Pakistani undergraduates to the United States for an intensive, structured academic and cultural experience focused on comparative public policymaking, with the broader intent of exposing participants to U.S. approaches to policy development, public institutions, and civic life while encouraging informed comparison with their home context.
The program is planned as a six-week institute hosted at a U.S. academic institution during summer 2018. The required structure combines two major parts: first, a four-week academic residency, followed by a two-week integrated educational travel component. The residency portion is intended to be a campus-based academic experience that centers on the theme of comparative public policymaking, typically involving lectures, seminars, discussions with faculty and practitioners, site visits connected to policy institutions, and other academically grounded activities that help participants understand how public policy is formed, debated, implemented, and evaluated in the United States. The travel component is designed to broaden participants exposure beyond the host campus by taking them to a different U.S. region, using educational programming and visits to complement the academic content and highlight regional diversity and different policy environments. The travel portion must end with at least three days in Washington, D.C., ensuring participants have direct exposure to national-level institutions and policy-related organizations.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during implementation (for example, coordinating on program content, participants experience, or compliance requirements). The funding activity category is listed as "Other," and the associated CFDA number is 19.009, which corresponds to ECA public diplomacy and exchange programs. ECA anticipates making one award under this solicitation.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (including nonprofits other than higher education institutions). The funding opportunity number is ECA ECAAE 17 014. The notice was created on March 24, 2017, with an original application closing date of May 23, 2017. The maximum federal funding amount (award ceiling) is $545,000. The full announcement and solicitation (referenced in the notice) contains the detailed schedule guidance and any additional program, budget, monitoring, and reporting expectations applicants would need to follow when proposing the institute design and implementation plan.Apply for ECA ECAAE 17 014
