Opportunity Information: Apply for SLMAQM 18 CA 2038
The U.S.-Russia Peer-to-Peer Dialogue Program Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SLMAQM 18 CA 2038) is a U.S. Department of State notice of funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Mission to Russia. It is designed to fund one organization to manage and implement the administration of the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) competition in coordination with the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. In practical terms, this is not a call for individual dialogue projects or partner proposals; it is a call for a single implementing organization to run the competition and support the Embassy in carrying it out.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department of State expects to be substantially involved in the project’s direction and oversight rather than simply providing a grant with minimal involvement. The activity category is listed as “Other,” indicating it does not fit neatly into a standard program bucket and should be interpreted in light of the specific management and implementation role described in the notice. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.900.
Eligibility is open to a range of organizational types, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that particular nonprofit category). The listing also includes “Others” with the note to refer to additional eligibility information in the full announcement, signaling that some additional applicant types may be permitted depending on the details provided in the complete NOFO.
Funding is substantial but limited to a single award: the ceiling is $850,000, and the Department of State anticipated making one award under this announcement. The NOFO was posted on August 7, 2018, with an original application deadline of September 6, 2018.
A critical instruction embedded in the announcement is that Peer-to-Peer partners who want to compete for project funding should not apply to this NOFO. In other words, organizations or groups looking to receive P2P program funds for their own dialogue activities are being directed elsewhere; this announcement is specifically for the organization that will manage the overall P2P competition process in partnership with the Embassy’s Public Affairs Section, not for the entities that might later participate in P2P-funded exchanges or projects.Apply for SLMAQM 18 CA 2038
