About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA/FAS) has announced a federal grant opportunity for a Short-Term Agricultural Ukrainian Fellowship Program. The program seeks a U.S. state cooperative institution or college/university to implement 2-3 week technical training fellowships for Ukrainian agricultural stakeholders, focusing on livestock management, policy development, and biotechnology. Key requirements include providing instruction in Ukrainian or translation services, and handling U.S.-based logistics including lodging and domestic transportation. Applications will be evaluated based on the technical approach, expertise, anticipated impact, and cost-effectiveness. The application deadline is February 3, 2025, with a question submission deadline of January 29, 2025.
The total available funding for this one-year cooperative agreement is $250,000. While international travel costs for fellows will be covered by USDA, the recipient is responsible for all U.S.-based expenses including accommodation, meals, and domestic transportation. No cost-share is required, and indirect costs are capped at 10% for this cost-reimbursable agreement.
