Description

The U.S. Department of States' Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' Office of International Visitors (ECA/PE/V), announces an open competition for the FY 2023 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) Collaborative Services. The IVLP is the U.S. Department of State's premier professional exchange program. It seeks to build mutual understanding between the United States and other nations through carefully designed short-term visits to the United States for current and emerging foreign leaders. These visits reflect the International Visitors' professional interests and support the foreign policy goals of the United States. Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization. In cases where more than one submission from an applicant appears in grants.gov, ECA will only consider the submission made closest in time to the NOFO deadline; that submission would constitute the one and only proposal ECA would review from that applicant. It is the Bureau's intent to award one cooperative agreement for one base year plus two non-competitive continuations for an estimated total amount of $3,300,000, pending the availability of funds. Please see the NOFO for additional details.
