This program will support the design and delivery of training activities for university professors in Veterinary Science from the Philippines and Vietnam. Veterinary training design and training under the FEP must include a curriculum that addresses science based Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) issues that connect to international trade.
Training programs are designed and organized in conjunction with U.S. universities, USDA, and other government agencies. The FEP emphasizes the development of improved and updated courses and curricula, teaching and student assessment methods, exposure to current research techniques, and practical field experiences while the Fellows study in the United States. In addition, the FEP includes follow-up visits by U.S. host professors (the Mentors) to their Fellow’s home country. While visiting the participants' universities, U.S. faculty members are expected to assess progress on the implementation of courses developed during the U.S. based portion of the program and should continue to encourage collaboration between U.S. and participating universities.
The purpose of the FEP is to assist developing countries with improvements to their university agricultural education, research, and extension programs by providing a one-semester training program at U.S. Land Grant Agricultural Universities. Participants upgrade their technical knowledge in their subject area, learn new teaching methods through class observation, and new research methods through experience in the lab, short courses, and/or one-on-one instruction. Lastly, assist Fellows in researching additional public/private grants/funding opportunities as well as proposal writing.
During this FY 2023 FEP programming cycle, it is expected that each participant from the Philippines and Vietnam revise and modernize their class outlines for introduction at their home university after they return. Participants should travel to laboratories, farms, agribusinesses, and government offices to gain an understanding of how the veterinary science and animal health systems operate in the United States. Faculty Mentors should visit each participant in their home country 3-9 months after the conclusion of the U.S based program to provide follow-on support and advice. USDA/FAS will select Fellows based on their experiences and expertise in their field and will place them in two groups of up to ten Fellows. Each group will be hosted by a selected Land Grant University for the program.
The U.S.-based training will be 4-5 months within the full period of performance (one semester). All Fellows from the Philippines and Vietnam should participate in the program at the same time as a cohort. Ideally, this period would align with the Fall session of classes at the respective host university.
The implementing institution is expected to host the Fellows at a research facility on their campus in the United States. The Mentors are expected to make reciprocal visits of up to 2 weeks to the Fellows’ home institutions in the Philippines and Vietnam. In addition, the implementing institution is expected to conduct pre and post visits for the Fellows to Washington, DC to be greeted at USDA’s Washington, DC headquarters and participate in meetings and presentations organized by the USDA/FAS Fellowship Programs team.

The International Agricultural Education Fellowship Program (IAEFP), in coordination with 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA), will provide opportunities to eligible U.S. citizens to assist developing countries in establishing school-based agricultural education and youth extension programs. The IAEFP’s purpose is to connect United States agriculturalists to the demand for experiential, school-based agricultural education in developing countries.
For this opportunity, the IAEFP will focus on any low to middle income country as defined by The World Bank. The USDA anticipates issuing up to 2 awards in this program cycle. Each award is expected to support up to nine (9) Fellows. The Fellowship is expected to last 8-9 months in concurrence with the priority country’s secondary school academic year. Fellows participating in the IAEFP are required to hold a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in an agriculture-related field and be U.S. Citizens.
Although each Fellow should be assigned to a specific site within the proposed country, they are expected to participate as a cohesive cohort. All applications must demonstrate that security considerations have been assessed and address all measures that would be implemented to ensure the safety and security of participating U.S. Fellows.
The IAEFP emphasizes positive youth development and agricultural skill transfer to youth in beneficiary country secondary schools. It also encourages community-based agricultural extension and teacher training as well as development of 4-H clubs for strong sustainability of the program. Application submission should include, but is not limited to, program outlines that involve classroom instruction, field demonstrations, entrepreneurship projects, and leadership development. The application should address the identified country’s receptiveness of the IAEFP and what, if any, country policies and procedures will be necessary to incorporate into the project work plan for strong program implementation and sustainability. The country’s government, agriculture community, and local authorities should demonstrate support and commitment to collaborate on the implementation and execution of the IAEFP.
FAS will consider applications from all eligible organizations, including current recipients and new organizations.

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for projects that develop evidenced-based methods to support the following goal: Contribute to building a portfolio of evidence to further identify democracy and rights program strategies that are effective, in an effort to improve program relevance and impact.
DRL is working to advance evidence generating projects in order to improve the success of political party assistance programs in closed, closing, and restrictive operating environments. The project should employ four phases that (1) builds its evidence base by reviewing existing research and literature; (2) conducts original research that produces a use-oriented research paper, two-page summary and a draft toolkit of evaluation methods for political party assistance programming in restrictive environments; (3) applies, tests and validates the toolkit in the field; and (4) facilitates dissemination and learning from these products with key audiences. By doing so, DRL aims to advance the following objective: Political party assistance
policies and programs are informed by systematic evidence, ensuring accountability to
stakeholders and improving the relevance and impact for their constituencies.
DRL seeks to address these challenges by answering the following key research questions and
sub-questions:
- How do political actors define success in closed, oppositional, and/or rising authoritarian contexts where there is little to no space for free and fair political contestation?
- What factors, conditions, and internal structures contribute to how these parties, groupings, and coalitions realize their objectives and outcomes in restrictive environments?
- In what ways can these political actors engage in the existing political apparatus to achieve their goals in the absence of winning elections?
- In what ways can these political actors develop relationships with civic actors (civil society, media, human rights defenders, activists, etc.) to achieve their goals in the absence of winning elections?
- What is the composition of coalitions (and what strategies should they employ) to strengthen political movements effectively amid limited opportunities for contestation of power?
- In what ways have opposition political parties maintained legitimacy with their constituents following a political transition or political turbulence?
- How should democracy, human rights, and governance (DRG) stakeholders (i.e. funders, implementers, and researchers) assess successes in environments with limited political contestation?
- In what ways can diplomatic interventions be effective and complementary to political party assistance efforts?
Proposals should describe in detail their proposed research methods to respond to these questions. This should include a description of the proposed method(s), expected data collection and approaches to synthesize and analyze evidence. Further, successful applicants should provide detail on their access, or their ability to obtain access, to opposition parties within their targeted contexts.
