Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008789
The FY 2022 Ngawang Choephel Fellows Program grant opportunity (SFOP0008789) is offered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically through the Global Leaders Division in the Office of Citizen Exchanges. ECA is seeking proposals to fund up to two organizations to design, implement, and manage this long-running exchange initiative, which began in 1997. The program is framed as a two-way economic empowerment effort intended to strengthen mutual understanding and build practical, people-to-people connections between Tibetan communities in China and Tibetan communities in the United States.
At its core, the program focuses on developing mid-level leaders by strengthening leadership and professional skills while also creating durable partnerships among participants and their institutions or communities. A central requirement and defining feature is an in-person, U.S.-based exchange of at least four weeks. During this exchange, Fellows are expected to engage in substantive professional learning and peer-to-peer collaboration, with an emphasis on sharing best practices and approaches for launching, managing, or supporting initiatives that are inclusive, sustainable, and beneficial to their communities and/or organizations. In practical terms, the exchange component typically implies structured programming such as meetings with relevant organizations, trainings or workshops, site visits, networking opportunities, and facilitated discussions that connect the Fellows work to real-world community or organizational challenges.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 19.415, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $375,000 per award and an expectation of making two awards. Eligible applicants include U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), along with other entities as described in the full announcement eligibility section. The announcement was created on March 28, 2022, with an original application closing date of May 27, 2022.
Overall, this funding supports organizations capable of end-to-end exchange program management, including program design, recruitment and selection processes consistent with the program goals, logistical planning for the U.S. exchange portion, professional programming that advances leadership and economic empowerment objectives, and follow-on engagement that helps sustain partnerships and extend the impact beyond the exchange period. The stated emphasis on inclusive and sustainable community and organizational initiatives signals that proposed activities should be practical and action-oriented, equipping Fellows to adapt what they learn to their local contexts while also maintaining cross-community relationships over time.Apply for SFOP0008789
