DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice: 7195]
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) Request for
Grant Proposals: Study of the United States Institutes for Student
Leaders on U.S. History and Government
Announcement Type: New Cooperative Agreement.
Funding Opportunity Number: ECA/A/E/USS-11-10.
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 19.009.
Key Dates: July-August, 2011 and January, February, 2012.
Application Deadline: December 3, 2010.
Executive Summary: The Branch for the Study of the United States,
Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and
Cultural Affairs (ECA), invites proposal submissions for the design and
implementation of six (6) Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student
Leaders on U.S. History and Government, pending the availability of
funds. Participants will be drawn from countries throughout Central and
South America and the Caribbean. Three institutes will be conducted
entirely in Spanish, and the remaining three in English. Each academic
institute will be five weeks in duration, including a one-week
integrated study tour.
I. Funding Opportunity Description Authority
Overall grant making authority for this program is contained in the
Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, Public Law 87-
256, as amended, also known as the Fulbright-Hays Act. The purpose of
the Act is ``to enable the Government of the United States to increase
mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the
people of other countries* * * to strengthen the ties which unite us
with other nations by demonstrating the educational and cultural
interests, developments, and achievements of the people of the United
States and other nations * * * and thus to assist in the development of
friendly, sympathetic and peaceful relations between the United States
and the other countries of the world.'' The funding authority for the
program above is provided through legislation.
Purpose: All ECA programs seek to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States and the people of other
countries. The Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders on U.S.
History and Government provide a group of undergraduate students, who
have little to no prior experience in the U.S., with an introduction to
U.S. history, government, society, and culture. In addition to this
core American Studies component, students will participate in seminars,
workshops, and activities to strengthen their leadership skills.
Participants will also engage in volunteer activities and learn about
civic engagement as a core American value. Throughout the course of the
institutes, participants will interact with American peers in the
classroom, community, and through a weekend long home-stay experience.
This award will support up to 120 undergraduate participants. Three
institutes for twenty participants each will take place in Summer 2011
while an additional three institutes will take place in Winter 2012.
Please refer to the Project Objectives, Goals, and Implementation
(POGI) document for programmatic details.
Please note: This award will be in the form of a cooperative
agreement. In a cooperative agreement, ECA is substantially involved
in the management and oversight of the institute. Please refer to
the statement of work in the POGI to see the division of
responsibilities between the recipient institution and the Program
Office.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Cooperative Agreement. ECA's level of involvement in
this program is listed under number 1 above.
Fiscal Year Funds: FY 2011.
Approximate Total Funding: $1,440,000.
Approximate Number of Awards: One.
Approximate Average Award: $1,440,000.
Anticipated Award Date: Pending availability of funds, February
2011.
Anticipated Project Completion Date: February, 2012.
Additional Information: Pending successful implementation of this
program and the availability of funds in subsequent fiscal years, it is
ECA's intent to renew this cooperative agreement for two additional
fiscal years, before openly competing it again.
III. Eligibility Information
III.1. Eligible applicants: The Bureau is seeking detailed
proposals from accredited post-secondary U.S. institutions (community
colleges, liberal arts colleges, public and private universities),
consortia of organizations, and/or from public and private non-profit
organizations meeting the eligibility requirements outlined below.
The Bureau intends to issue one award and is seeking proposals from
organizations with the ability to administer, support, and oversee the
six academic institutes. Recipient organizations may be public or
private organizations that provide sub-awards to up to six institutions
of higher education to implement the institutes. Or, higher education
institutions may apply to administer and implement the institutes
working with branch campuses, other colleges in a consortium, or
partnering with any other institution of higher education.
Institutions of higher education may host no more than one
institute at a time (for up to 20 students), but may host up to two
institutes per year (e.g. a summer and a winter institute); this policy
is to advance the Bureau's goals of diversity and increased mutual
understanding, and to provide more individualized attention to
participants.
The recipient organization will serve as the lead organization and
will be responsible for the oversight of all six institutes and must
appoint a project director who will be the main point of contact and
liaison with ECA.
III.2. Cost Sharing or Matching Funds: There is no minimum or
maximum percentage required for this competition. However, the Bureau
encourages applicants to provide maximum levels of cost sharing and
funding in support of its programs.
When cost sharing is offered, it is understood and agreed that the
applicant must provide the amount of cost sharing as stipulated in its
proposal and later included in an approved agreement. Cost sharing may
be in the form of allowable direct or indirect costs. For
accountability, you must maintain written records to support all costs
which are claimed as your contribution, as well as costs to be paid by
the Federal government. Such records are subject to audit. The basis
for determining the value of cash and
[[Page 62170]]
in-kind contributions must be in accordance with OMB Circular A-110,
(Revised), Subpart C.23--Cost Sharing and Matching. In the event you do
not provide the minimum amount of cost sharing as stipulated in the
approved budget, ECA's contribution will be reduced in like proportion.
III.3. Other Eligibility Requirements: Bureau grant guidelines
require that organizations with less than four years experience in
conducting international exchanges be limited to $60,000 in Bureau
funding. ECA anticipates making one award, in an amount up to
$1,440,000 to support program and administrative costs required to
implement this exchange program. Therefore, organizations with less
than four years experience in conducting international exchanges are
ineligible to apply under this competition. The Bureau encourages
applicants to provide maximum levels of cost sharing and funding in
support of its programs.

a grant or cooperative agreement from ECA in the past three years, or
if your organization received nonprofit status from the IRS within the
past four years, you must submit the necessary documentation to verify
nonprofit status as directed in the PSI document. Failure to do so will
cause your proposal to be declared technically ineligible.
IV.3d. Please take into consideration the following information
when preparing your proposal narrative:
IV.3d.1 Adherence to All Regulations Governing the J Visa
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs places critically
important emphases on the security and proper administration of the
Exchange Visitor (J visa) Programs and adherence by award recipients
and sponsors to all regulations governing the J visa. Therefore,
proposals should demonstrate the applicant's capacity to meet all
requirements governing the administration of the Exchange Visitor
Programs as set forth in 22 CFR 62, including the oversight of
Responsible Officers and Alternate Responsible Officers, screening and
selection of program participants, provision of pre-arrival information
and orientation to participants, monitoring of participants, proper
maintenance and security of forms, recordkeeping, reporting and other
requirements.
ECA prefers that the award recipient issue DS-2019 forms to
participants in this program.
A copy of the complete regulations governing the administration of
Exchange Visitor (J) programs is available at http://exchanges.state.gov or from: United States Department of State, Office
of Exchange Coordination and Designation, Office of Designation, ECA/
EC/D/P5, SA-5, 5th Floor, Department of State, Washington, DC 20037.
Please refer to Solicitation Package for further information.
IV.3d.2 Diversity, Freedom and Democracy Guidelines
Pursuant to the Bureau's authorizing legislation, programs must
maintain a non-political character and should be balanced and
representative of the diversity of American political, social, and
cultural life. ``Diversity'' should be interpreted in the broadest
sense and encompass differences including, but not limited to
ethnicity, race, gender, religion, geographic location, socio-
[[Page 62171]]
economic status, and disabilities. Applicants are strongly encouraged
to adhere to the advancement of this principle both in program
administration and in program content. Please refer to the review
criteria under the ``Support for Diversity'' section for specific
suggestions on incorporating diversity into your proposal. Public Law
104-319 provides that ``in carrying out programs of educational and
cultural exchange in countries whose people do not fully enjoy freedom
and democracy,'' the Bureau ``shall take appropriate steps to provide
opportunities for participation in such programs to human rights and
democracy leaders of such countries.'' Public Law 106--113 requires
that the governments of the countries described above do not have
inappropriate influence in the selection process. Proposals should
reflect advancement of these goals in their program contents, to the
full extent deemed feasible.
IV.3d.3. Program Monitoring and Evaluation
The recipient organization should clearly describe its plan for
overseeing the activities of up to six host institutions. Ideally the
recipient organization staff will conduct site visits at each host
institution once throughout the course of each Institute. Additionally,
the recipient organization should provide to ECA a brief weekly written
summary of the highlights of each program and a description of any
challenges and how they were addressed. The Bureau expects that the
recipient organization will be in regular contact with all host
institutions and stay up to date on all issues.
Proposals must include a plan to monitor and evaluate the project's
success, both as the activities unfold and at the end of the program.
Proposals should include a draft survey questionnaire or other
technique plus a description of a methodology to be used to link
outcomes to original project objectives. The Bureau expects that the
recipient organization will survey participants and be able to provide
responses to key evaluation questions including participants'
satisfaction with the program, learning as a result of the program, and
changes in behavior as a result of the program. The evaluation plan
should include indicators that measure gains in mutual understanding as
well as substantive knowledge.
Successful monitoring and evaluation depends heavily on setting
clear goals and outcomes at the outset of a program. Evaluation plans
should include a description of project objectives, anticipated project
outcomes, and how and when outcomes (performance indicators) will be
measured. The more that outcomes are ``smart'' (specific, measurable,
attainable, results-oriented, and placed in a reasonable time frame),
the easier it will be to conduct the evaluation. Proposals should also
demonstrate how project objectives link to the goals of the program
described in the academic residency component above.
The monitoring and evaluation plan should clearly distinguish
between program outputs and outcomes. Outputs are products and services
delivered, often stated as an amount. Output information is important
to show the scope or size of project activities, but it cannot
substitute for information about progress towards outcomes or the
results achieved. Examples of outputs include the number of people
trained or the number of seminars conducted. Outcomes, in contrast,
represent specific results a project is intended to achieve and is
usually measured as an extent of change. Findings on outputs and
outcomes should both be reported, but the focus should be on outcomes.
Please note: Consideration should be given to the appropriate
timing of data collection for each level of outcome. For example,
satisfaction is usually captured as a short-term outcome, whereas
behavior and institutional changes are normally considered longer-
term outcomes.
Overall, the quality of your monitoring and evaluation plan will be
judged on how well it (1) Specifies intended outcomes; (2) gives clear
descriptions of how each outcome will be measured; (3) identifies when
particular outcomes will be measured; and (4) provides a clear
description of the data collection strategies for each outcome (i.e.,
surveys, interviews, or focus groups).
The recipient organization will be required to synthesize the
evaluation findings of participating host institutions and analyze and
compile findings into single reports to be provided to ECA at
established deadlines. All data collected, including survey responses
and contact information, must be maintained for a minimum of three
years and provided to the Bureau upon request.
IV.3e. Please take the following information into consideration
when preparing your budget:
IV.3e.1. Applicants must submit SF-424A--``Budget Information--Non-
Construction Programs'' along with a comprehensive budget for the
entire program. There must be a summary budget as well as breakdowns
reflecting both administrative and program budgets. Applicants may
provide separate sub-budgets for each program component, phase,
location, or activity to provide clarification. Administrative costs
should be kept to a minimum and should represent no greater than 30% of
total project costs.
IV.3e.2. Allowable costs for the program include the following:
(1) Institute staff salary and benefits.
(2) Participant housing and meals.
(3) Participant domestic travel and per diem.
(4) Textbooks, educational materials, and admissions fees.
(5) Honoraria for guest speakers.
(6) Follow-on programming for alumni of Study of the United States
programs.
