Description: The Professional Fellows Division in the Office of Citizen Exchanges at the U.S. Department of State&apos;s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites proposal submissions for the FY 2015 Russian Business Leaders Program. The Russian Business Leaders Program is a two-way exchange to foster entrepreneurship, encourage business innovation, and provide concrete business leadership and professional skills for a new generation of Russian business professionals. The Russian Business Leaders Program builds on the foundation of the traditional Professional Fellows Program model and offers a dynamic and substantive professional experience to Russian entrepreneurs and business leaders, ages 22-27, working in the fields of technology, innovation, social media, business, and social entrepreneurship. The Program will support 44 Russian participants in a practical four- to five-week internship or &quot;practicum&quot; in a U.S. workplace complemented by collaborative projects, robust follow-on activities, and a peer mentoring program in the participant&apos;s home country with ECA and Professional Fellows Program alumni. The program will tentatively take place from May through June of 2016. The American outbound exchange component will support approximately 13-15 American participants going overseas for approximately two weeks in length to assist with the implementation of the Russian fellows&apos; follow-on projects.
