Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009874
The FY 2024 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009874) is an open, discretionary competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of International Visitors (ECA/PE/V). Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity, ECA plans to make up to four cooperative agreement awards, assuming FY 2024 funds are available. The IVLP itself is a long-running U.S. professional exchange initiative that began in 1940 and is designed to advance mutual understanding between the United States and other countries by bringing current and emerging international leaders to the United States for short-term, carefully structured professional visits. These visits are built around both U.S. foreign policy priorities and the professional interests and roles of the participants, meaning the exchange content is intended to be highly tailored and policy-relevant rather than purely academic or ceremonial.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals a closer working relationship with the federal program office than a standard grant. In practice, that means award recipients should expect substantial coordination with ECA on program design, implementation standards, and outcomes connected to the IVLP mission. ECA indicates an intent to fund one base year with the possibility of two non-competitive continuation periods (NCCs), which effectively creates a potential three-year performance horizon if the awardee meets continuation requirements and funds remain available. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $6,472,426, and anticipates making four awards, suggesting significant, large-scale programming capacity is expected from recipients, including the ability to execute complex nationwide itineraries and professional engagement activities for international delegations.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an "Others" category that refers applicants to the full announcement for any additional eligibility clarification. The CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) number associated with the program is 19.402. The agency emphasizes a strict submission rule: only one proposal per applicant organization will be considered. If an organization submits more than one application through Grants.gov, ECA will review only the submission that is closest in time to the NOFO deadline, and that most recent submission will be treated as the organization’s single official proposal.
Key administrative details in the posted opportunity record include a creation date of June 12, 2023, and an original application closing date of August 31, 2023. Applicants interested in this program would need to review the full NOFO for the operational requirements, programmatic expectations, allowable costs, required partnership structures (if any), monitoring and evaluation expectations, and the specific IVLP implementation model ECA is seeking to support under the FY 2024 funding cycle.Apply for SFOP0009874
