FY 2024 International Visitor Leadership Program

Background
The United States Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ Office of International Visitors (ECA/PE/V) is seeking up to four cooperative agreements to support the FY 2024 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP). The IVLP is a professional exchange program launched in 1940, aiming to build mutual understanding between the United States and other nations through short-term visits for current and emerging leaders. The program supports U.S. foreign policy goals and reflects participants’ professional interests.

Grant Details
The grant recipients will be responsible for planning, organizing, and administering projects that include travel, observation, consultation, study, or practical experience for participants from countries throughout the world. They will develop professionally substantive and highly customized projects that offer participants a well-balanced, well-paced, and varied experience in the United States. The number of participants in each project and the length of the project will not be known until assignments have been completed by ECA/PE/V. The grant recipients will work closely with the responsible ECA/PE/V Program Manager throughout the development, implementation, and evaluation of each assigned IVLP project.

Eligibility Requirements
Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization. Eligible participants will be automatically enrolled in the DOS-sponsored ASPE (Accident and Sickness Program for Exchanges) accident and sickness coverage.

Period of Performance
The period of performance is for one base year plus two non-competitive continuations (NCCs).

Grant Value
The total value of the grant is pending the availability of FY 2024 funds.
