About this program
The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs operates the Educational Exchange_Scholar-in-Residence program (CFDA 19.431) to improve and strengthen international relations of the United States by promoting mutual understanding among people worldwide through educational exchanges. The program has not disbursed a grant award since December 2008, when a single Project Grant of $44 thousand was obligated to assist the National Museum in collection, storage, and identification of national artifacts. No additional awards have been recorded in the intervening 17 years, and no recent grant opportunities are currently posted.
The program is structured as Project Grants exclusively based on available portfolio data. The Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is the sole funding agency active under this Assistance Listing. Combined federal dollars obligated across the recorded award history total $44 thousand, reflecting minimal program activity.
The stated purpose—hosting lecturing faculty from abroad at U.S. institutions of higher education—does not align with the sole documented award, which targeted museum collection work. This divergence suggests either that the program's operational scope has narrowed, the Assistance Listing description reflects historical rather than current intent, or the award record is incomplete. No recent grant opportunities have been posted, and no indication of active solicitation is present in available sources.
Organizations considering pursuit should note the complete absence of recorded award activity for nearly two decades and the lack of any current or recently posted grant opportunities. The program appears dormant or inactive based on this record, and organizations should verify current funding status and solicitation plans directly with the Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs before investing development effort.
