About this opportunity

The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs seeks proposals to design and implement three Study of the U.S. Institutes for Secondary Educators programs in summer 2025. Eligible applicants include U.S. public and private academic institutions and 501(c)(3) nonprofits that will host approximately 20 international secondary educators at each institute for a total of 60 participants. Applicants must provide a four-week academic residency and one-week integrated study tour at their institution that strengthens understanding of U.S. society, education, culture and institutions. Proposals are due March 22, 2024 and will be evaluated based on competence in program administration, monitoring and evaluation plans, and alignment with the program's goals.

The anticipated award period is September 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028 with up to $1,200,000 available to the selected recipient to implement the three institutes. The institutes will take place at U.S. academic institutions over the course of approximately five weeks in summer 2025, exposing participants to distinct regional cultures through academic residencies and cultural study tours.

Update #2 · Latest ·

The Study of the U.S. Branch (ECA/A/E/USS), Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), invites proposal submissions from U.S. public and private academic and cultural institutions, exchange-of-persons, and other not-for-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) (see section C.) Eligibility Information) for the design and implementation of three Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSIs) for Secondary Educators to take place over the course of approximately five weeks in summer 2025. See details in the NOFO in section A.4.) Program Administration.


The SUSIs for Secondary Educators will provide multinational groups of experienced secondary-level educators with a deeper understanding of U.S. society, education, culture, values, and institutions. The program will be designed to strengthen curricula and improve the quality of teaching about the United States in secondary schools and academic institutions abroad. Two of the Institutes will be for teachers; one Institute will be for secondary-level education administrators and other educational professionals, including, but not limited to, curriculum developers, ministry of education officials, teacher trainers, and textbook writers. Each Institute will have a four-week academic residency at a U.S. academic institution and a one-week integrated study tour that will expose the participants to a community (or multiple communities) representing a culture and/or region distinct from that of their academic residency. Each Institute will host approximately 20 participants, for a total of approximately 60 foreign secondary educators across three Institutes. More Information on the Institutes can be found in the NOFO in section A.4.) Program Administration.
