Bureau
of Educational and Cultural Affairs Educational Partnerships Program Program Overview The Educational Partnerships Program fosters linkages in the humanities and social sciences between U.S. and foreign academic institutions. Grants support curriculum, faculty and staff development and collaborative research, and outreach activities having a multiplier effect and positive long-term impact. The program currently extends to all world regions, except those covered by the Freedom Support Educational Partnerships Program. Eligibility of countries within each world region varies for each competition. Funding Grants currently provide up to $150,000 for a three-year period. Funding may be used to defray travel and per diem costs. Grants also provide for educational materials, communications, and administrative expenses. Participating institutions are required to maintain faculty and staff on full salary and benefits during the exchange. Applications Grants are awarded through annual competitions announced each fall in the Federal Register. Competitions are limited to specific countries and geographic regions as well as identified themes and fields of study. The complete application packet is made available each year on the bureau's Requests for Grant Proposals website. Final awards are usually announced in the summer. U.S. institutions collaborate with foreign partners on proposal development, are responsible for submitting grant applications, and are the final grant recipients. The Bureau does not support undergraduate exchanges under this program. For more information on individual exchange opportunities, please refer to the Fulbright Program.
