Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005088
This funding opportunity is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) competitive solicitation for a single organization (or eligible consortium) to run Component A of the FY 2019 Teacher Exchange Program: the Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching (FDAT) programs for U.S. teachers. The award is not a direct scholarship for individual teachers; instead, it is a cooperative agreement that funds an administering organization to design, manage, and deliver two related FDAT offerings: a Semester Research program and a Short-Term program. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the selected awardee would be expected to work closely with ECA, with ECA retaining an active role in oversight and direction compared with a standard grant.
The core purpose is administrative and program delivery: recruiting and selecting participating U.S. teachers, coordinating placements and activities abroad, and implementing all program elements associated with the FDAT Semester Research and FDAT Short-Term experiences. Applicants are told to budget and plan for both programs under Component A, but to submit separate administrative and program budgets for the Semester Research track and the Short-Term track. The solicitation also signals that the program’s geographic footprint can shift. Even if certain regions or countries are referenced in program materials, applicants must show they can operate flexibly in locations that may change, because ECA reserves the right to add or remove regions or countries based on U.S. government priorities and available funds.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. organizations that can legally receive and manage federal assistance awards and that meet the solicitation’s requirements. Specifically, eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (including those other than institutions of higher education). The notice also allows for consortia or other combinations of eligible organizations, which is a common structure for large exchange programs that require national recruitment capacity, professional development expertise, and international operations support.
Financially, ECA estimated total funding for Component A (covering both the Semester Research and Short-Term programs, including administrative and program costs) at approximately $1,750,000, contingent on the availability of FY 2019 appropriated funds and subject to change. The award ceiling is listed as $1,750,000. The agency anticipated making one cooperative agreement for this component, meaning one organization would be responsible for delivering both the Semester Research and the Short-Term FDAT activities under a single award, while still accounting for the two tracks separately in its budgeting and management.
Key administrative details from the listing include the opportunity number SFOP0005088, classification as a discretionary opportunity using the cooperative agreement funding instrument, and the CFDA number 19.408 (the assistance listing associated with ECA educational and cultural exchange activities). The notice was created May 14, 2018, with an original application closing date of July 12, 2018. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at identifying a capable national-level administrator to operate these Fulbright teacher professional learning and exchange experiences on ECA’s behalf, with strong compliance capacity, program management infrastructure, and the operational flexibility to adapt to shifting country and regional priorities.Apply for SFOP0005088
