Opportunity Information: Apply for 17 GR BOGOTA 001
The Colombian University Tour on Peacebuilding Education is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassy Bogota (Colombia) grant opportunity intended to fund a short, intensive visitor program in the United States focused on peacebuilding education. The award supports the design and delivery of two parallel study-visit itineraries that run at the same time in different U.S. regions, giving Colombian higher-education leaders direct exposure to U.S. universities and organizations recognized for work in conflict resolution, sustainable development, and peacebuilding-related education. The overall idea is to strengthen institutional knowledge, build professional connections, and share practical approaches that Colombian universities can adapt to their own teaching, research, and international engagement around peace.
Funding is offered as a discretionary grant under CFDA 19.040, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of USD 100,000. The project period is capped at two months, with an anticipated start date of January 18, 2017, and the program travel/activities expected to take place during February 13-24, 2017. The Embassy anticipates making one award under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The original application closing date listed for the opportunity is January 4, 2017, and the opportunity was created on December 6, 2016.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The selected grantee is expected to handle full program design and implementation, which typically includes developing the itinerary, coordinating site visits and meetings, arranging logistics across two separate U.S. regions, and ensuring the program content aligns with the tour theme of education for peace. The visitors are described as vice rectors, directors of international relations, and professors from seven Bogota-based universities, split into two groups of roughly 7 to 10 English-speaking participants each. A key requirement is that the two groups should not follow the same route; instead, each group should visit a different set of universities and/or institutions to broaden exposure and contacts.
The NOFO provides examples of potential U.S. host institutions that could be incorporated into the itineraries, such as Babson College, the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, MIT Poverty Lab, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, the Build Initiative, Harvard University, the University of Notre Dame, Yale University, the University of Massachusetts, Stockton University, Princeton University, the Open Society Foundation, and the United States Institute of Peace. While these are presented as possible sites, the grantee is expected to craft coherent, high-value programs that connect visitors with U.S. expertise and practice in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and sustainable development, and that facilitate substantive exchanges with academics and practitioners.Apply for 17 GR BOGOTA 001
