Description
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Armenia, is seeking a nonprofit or educational institution to design and implement a comprehensive program that enhances the existing network of American Spaces across Armenia. The award is a cooperative agreement valued at $111,400 and will fund the development and delivery of high‑quality educational, cultural, and digital‑technology programming—including English language instruction, STEM and AI awareness, entrepreneurship training, and digital engagement—at six designated sites (American Center Yerevan, three American Corners, and two additional corners). Recipients must manage their own staff (e.g., project coordinator, IT support, facilitators) and may leverage existing American Spaces resources, but current coordinators are not funded through the award. The program aligns with U.S. strategic priorities and may be eligible for continuation funding based on performance.
• Eligible applicants: 501(c)(3) nonprofits, NGOs, public or private higher‑education institutions.
• Funding: $111,400 (single award) under a Cooperative Agreement.
• Scope: Program design, curriculum development, delivery of English, STEM, AI‑responsible‑use, entrepreneurship, and cultural activities at six locations.
• Required staff: Project‑level personnel funded by the award (percentage of effort only).
• Timeline: Applications open 08/12/2026, close 09/10/2026; award date not specified.
• Reporting: Standard State Department reporting and possible continuation funding.
