Description: The Branch for the Study of the United States, Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, invites proposal submissions from accredited U.S. colleges and universities for the design and implementation of two (2) Study of the United States Institutes for Women Student Leaders on Women&#8223;s Leadership. Applicants may submit a proposal to administer one institute. The five week Institutes should take place in June and July, 2012. Both Institutes should take place at U.S. academic institutions and provide groups of highly motivated female undergraduate students from the countries and regions noted below with in-depth seminars on Women&#8223;s Leadership. Each Institute should include four weeks of academic residency followed by a one-week integrated educational travel tour that will expose participants to a different region of the United States. The one-week educational study tour should continue to examine the theme of women&#8223;s leadership and should conclude with a three day session in Washington, D.C. In order to take part in a joint closing conference, the participants should travel to Washington, D.C. no later than the evening of July 18, 2012. Each Institute will host up to 20 participants, for a total of approximately 40 students. ECA plans to provide two awards (a maximum of one per applicant) for the administration of two Study of the U.S. Institutes and welcomes applications from accredited post-secondary education institutions in the United States (see Eligibility Information, section III). Women&#146;s colleges are especially encouraged to apply. The awarding of Cooperative Agreements for this program is contingent upon the availability of FY 2012 funds.
