Opportunity Information: Apply for SBR25018CA0004
This grant opportunity, titled "Building English teaching capacity in Brazil: Bilingual schools in the public school system" (Funding Opportunity Number SBR25018CA0004), was released by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Brazil, specifically the U.S. Embassy/RELO Office in Brasilia. It is a discretionary funding opportunity intended to strengthen English language teaching in Brazil's public school system, with an emphasis connected to bilingual education efforts. The project is structured as a professional development initiative that combines an in-person exchange component in the United States with a short follow-on virtual engagement period.
The core program design supports a 4-week exchange program in the United States for Brazilian public school English teachers at the elementary and/or secondary levels. After the U.S.-based portion, the program continues with an additional 2-week online interaction, which is presumably meant to reinforce learning, maintain collaboration among participants, and extend the impact of the in-person training once teachers return to Brazil. The overall project period is limited to one year, meaning the recipient organization would need to plan, recruit/select participants, implement the exchange, deliver the online follow-up, and complete reporting and closeout activities within that timeframe. The preliminary program start date listed is October 1, 2018.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects substantial involvement in the project during implementation (for example, coordination on program design elements, approvals, or ongoing monitoring), rather than a hands-off grant model. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $450,000 in FY2018 funds, and the announcement indicates that only one award is expected to be made under this notice, making it a single-recipient competition.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.040, which corresponds to public diplomacy-related programming under the Department of State. The opportunity was posted on July 20, 2018, and the original application deadline (closing date) was September 3, 2018.Apply for SBR25018CA0004
