Opportunity Information: Apply for DOSRUS20CA004
English Access and Advance (Funding Opportunity No. DOSRUS20CA004) is a U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Russia grant competition run by the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to select one or more partners to help deliver and manage English language education programming in Russia. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means the selected grantee is expected to work closely and continuously with U.S. government counterparts rather than operating independently. In practice, the recipient would coordinate with the Regional English Language Officer (RELO), who is based in Tallinn, and with the Public Affairs Section (PAS) in Moscow across the full program cycle, including program design, implementation, and evaluation.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to provide technical and logistical support for English Language Office (ELO) programming. The supported activities center on strengthening English teaching and learning outcomes in Russia by building the capacity of English teachers, improving students English proficiency, and supporting expert-led teacher development (for example, helping a trainer or specialist deliver professional development that then cascades to other teachers). The scope explicitly includes administering the English Access Microscholarship Program and implementing Advance programming, described here as vocationally oriented English programs, alongside related teacher and staff support systems.
A major emphasis is on professional development for the educators and program staff involved in Access and Advance. The opportunity anticipates both in-person and online training formats, suggesting that the grantee should be prepared to organize workshops, courses, coaching, webinars, communities of practice, or similar development pathways that can operate across different locations and delivery modes. Because the grantee is providing logistical backbone support, expected responsibilities typically include scheduling and event coordination, communications and participant management, coordination with trainers and experts, procurement and distribution of materials or services, and ensuring program activities align with ELO priorities and Embassy guidance.
Financial accountability is a visible requirement. The selected grantee must provide the Embassy with program account records on a regular basis, indicating routine financial reporting and organized documentation of expenditures and program accounts. Applicants should therefore be ready to demonstrate strong grants management capacity, internal controls, and recordkeeping systems suitable for ongoing oversight.
Eligible applicants include 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). The funding activity category is Education, and the CFDA number listed is 19.040. The opportunity was posted July 2, 2020, with an original closing date of August 15, 2020. The award ceiling is $300,000, and the Embassy anticipated making up to five awards, implying a possibility of multiple implementing partners or multiple program sites or components supported through separate awards.Apply for DOSRUS20CA004
