Assistance Listing 19.411

The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs administered this Assistance Listing (CFDA 19.411) under Project Grants exclusively, with the most recent award issued on September 13, 2010 — sixteen years ago. The program is inactive; no grant awards have been disbursed since 2010, and no recent grant opportunities are present in the system.

Between 2003 and 2010, the program distributed 19 Project Grants totaling $18.4 million in federal dollars obligated (with $21.8 million in combined federal and non-federal share). Award activity was concentrated in 2007, when eleven grants were issued. The funding landscape was dominated by youth and educational exchange initiatives, particularly the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program, which accounted for the majority of dollar volume through individual awards ranging from $226,000 to $12.0 million. Representative funded activities included the 2007 FLEX Program award of $12.0 million for secondary school student exchange; a 2007 U.S.-Russian language, technology, math, and science teacher program award of $500,000; English language learning access for students ages 14–16 in non-elite populations ($25,135 in 2008); and HIV/AIDS prevention and stigma reduction touring performed by American artists ($39,365 in 2008). Smaller awards supported internet learning centers, youth disability programs, and specific regional exchange efforts. The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs was the sole funding agency across all 19 awards.

Given the sixteen-year gap since the last award, this program should be treated as dormant. No active funding opportunities are available for pursuit.
