Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FAS 10619 0700 10 20 0001
The 2020 International Agricultural Education Fellowship Program (IAEFP) is a USDA Foreign Agricultural Service discretionary funding opportunity designed to place qualified U.S. citizens in developing countries to help build or strengthen school-based agricultural education and youth extension programs. Grounded in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-334, Sec. 3307), the program is meant to do more than provide technical assistance. It aims to develop globally minded U.S. agricultural professionals through extended overseas experience, support host countries in meeting domestic food and fiber needs, and reinforce longer-term agricultural trade connections between participating countries and the United States.
Awards are made through cooperative agreements, which signals that USDA expects close coordination with recipients during implementation rather than a hands-off grant. USDA anticipated making up to two awards, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award, and each award was expected to support up to nine fellows. Fellowships are structured to run about 8 to 9 months, generally aligned with the host country academic calendar. While each fellow should be assigned to a specific country and site, USDA emphasized a cohort approach, meaning fellows are expected to operate as a coordinated group rather than being deployed at scattered times with minimal connection to one another.
Projects proposed under this opportunity are expected to include practical, education-centered activities such as classroom instruction, field demonstrations, entrepreneurship projects, and leadership development. A key requirement is that proposals demonstrate the host country is receptive and prepared to collaborate. USDA looks for clear evidence of support and commitment from the host country government, local authorities, and the agricultural community, since the work is intended to be implemented jointly and sustained beyond the fellowship period. Applicants are also expected to provide a suggested curriculum for fellows that is tailored to host country needs, with training topics that align both with USDA priorities and with the host country agricultural policy, development strategies, and extension goals. In addition, training content is expected to encourage or facilitate bilateral agricultural trade linkages with the United States, reflecting the program's dual development and trade orientation.
On the staffing side, U.S. fellows must meet baseline qualifications: at minimum, a bachelor's degree in an agriculture-related field and familiarity with U.S. models of school-based agricultural education and youth extension programs. Fellows do not need to be previously affiliated with the recipient organization, but the recipient is responsible for recruiting and identifying fellows after award selection and then submitting proposed fellows to USDA for final concurrence. The relevant Council must be consulted on fellow selections, indicating an additional layer of oversight in building the fellowship cohort.
Operationally, award recipients are required to coordinate with U.S. government counterparts overseas, including relevant FAS Posts and appropriate U.S. Embassy personnel, and to provide periodic updates on implementation. In practice, this means recipients should be prepared for ongoing communication, in-country coordination, and compliance with performance expectations tied to collaborative program delivery. The opportunity was open to nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education) and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The funding opportunity number is USDA FAS 10619 0700 10 20 0001, CFDA 10.619, with an original closing date of June 15, 2020.Apply for USDA FAS 10619 0700 10 20 0001
