Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0010088
The FY 2024 Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program Organizational Components opportunity is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) cooperative agreement competition to operate the non-placement, centralized management functions of the FLEX program. FLEX is a flagship, academic-year, in-person high school exchange initiative designed to advance U.S. foreign policy priorities by engaging youth, strengthening people-to-people ties, and supporting civil society development through sustained cultural and educational exchange. It includes two tracks: the FLEX inbound program, which brings high school students from participating countries to the United States for an academic year, and the FLEX Abroad program, which sends American high school students to selected FLEX countries.
This award focuses on the Organizational Components of FLEX, meaning the core program administration functions that occur before, during, and after participants travel, rather than the on-the-ground hosting and placement of inbound students in U.S. communities. Funded activities include recruiting and selecting participants, conducting orientations and preparation, managing travel, maintaining liaison and communication with participants natural parents, and providing alumni support and engagement. In addition to these functions for inbound students, the award also covers the placement and support responsibilities for American students who participate in FLEX Abroad overseas. A key point in the notice is that placement and support for international students while they are in the United States (the inbound host family and school placement work and related in-country support) will be handled under separate awards called the FLEX Placement Components, and the awardee for this Organizational Components agreement is expected to coordinate effectively with those separate placement award recipients as described in the program description of the Notice of Funding Opportunity.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial federal involvement in the execution and oversight of the program compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding under CFDA number 19.415. ECA expects to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $13,000,000, meaning proposals should be scoped to manage the full set of organizational functions at national and international scale for the program year. Eligible applicants include U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, along with other entities as allowed under the opportunitys eligibility clarification text. The opportunity was posted September 29, 2023, with an original closing date of November 27, 2023, under funding opportunity number SFOP0010088.Apply for SFOP0010088
