About this opportunity

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) is seeking proposals from U.S. public and private non-profit organizations to design, administer, and implement the FY 2024 Arctic Indigenous Exchange Program (AIEP). This new initiative will bring together approximately 50 Indigenous leaders, including business development professionals, government officials, and entrepreneurs from Canada, Greenland, and Alaska, for a multi-phase exchange program to explore areas of regional cooperation across the Arctic. The goal is to strengthen people-to-people relationships, advance cooperation, and foster greater commercial and cultural ties. Proposals should focus on critical topics to Arctic Indigenous communities, including sustainable economic development, climate and the environment, and health and well-being.

ECA expects to award one cooperative agreement of up to $1,500,000 to support approximately three to six distinct exchange projects for roughly 50 participants, including 35 foreign and 15 U.S. participants. Exchange activities may include regional workshops, summits, and alumni engagement in any of the three participating countries. The application deadline is May 28, 2024, and the anticipated award date is September 15, 2024, with a project completion date of March 31, 2027.

The Global Leaders Division in the Office of Citizen Exchanges at the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites proposal submissions to design, administer, and implement the FY 2024 Arctic Indigenous Exchange Program (AIEP). This new initiative will bring together approximately 50 Indigenous leaders, including business development professionals, government officials, and entrepreneurs from Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark (Greenland), and the United States (Alaska), for a multi-phase exchange program to explore areas of regional cooperation across the Arctic. The goal of this program is to strengthen people-to-people relationships, advance cooperation, and foster greater commercial and cultural ties between Arctic Indigenous populations in the United States, Canada, and Greenland across a range of priority areas. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to provide a series of exchange projects ranging in size and scope, focused on critical topics to Arctic Indigenous communities in Greenland, Canada, and the United States (specifically Alaska), including sustainable economic development, climate and the environment, and health and well-being. It is anticipated that this cooperative agreement will support approximately three to six distinct exchange projects for approximately 50 participants, including approximately 35 foreign and 15 U.S. participants.
