Opportunity Information: Apply for BUCHAREST PAS FY19 03
The grant opportunity "Romania: Learning the History of Communism" (Funding Opportunity Number BUCHAREST PAS FY19 03) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Romania. It is framed as a humanities-focused education and civic engagement initiative meant to help Romanian students better understand the country s communist period through structured learning, trained educators, and nationwide participation.
The program is intended for non-profit Romanian organizations and institutions that have demonstrated experience in education and civic engagement and that do not have political affiliations. The eligibility list also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, as well as nonprofit organizations with or without U.S. 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the latter cases. The Embassy expects to make one award, with a maximum budget of up to USD 90,000.
At the center of the project is the development of a curriculum on the history of communism. Applicants are expected to design a full program that not only produces the curriculum materials, but also ensures they can be delivered effectively and replicated beyond the initial events. A key requirement is the selection and training of ten trainers through a competitive process. These trainers are expected to become multipliers who can teach using the new curriculum and then continue related activities after the main camps conclude.
The grant requires organizing two one-week summer camps, each serving 75 undergraduate students, for a total of 150 participants. Students should be drawn from all fields of study and should represent all parts of Romania, emphasizing diversity of academic background and geographic origin rather than limiting participation to history or political science students. The camps are meant to immerse participants in learning about the communist period, likely combining academic content with civic reflection and discussion-based formats consistent with the education and engagement emphasis of the opportunity.
The timeline is clearly defined. The overall project is planned for a 15-month period beginning in October 2019. It must include at least one event in December 2019, described as something like a two-day seminar, which can function as an early milestone for launching the curriculum work, convening experts, or beginning trainer preparation. At least one summer camp must take place before the end of August 2020. In addition to delivering the camps, the program must include follow-up activities carried out by each of the ten trainers and the 150 students, and these follow-up efforts must be completed by the end of November 2020. This follow-through requirement signals that the Embassy is looking for sustained impact, such as local workshops, campus events, peer-to-peer learning sessions, or community-facing activities that extend the reach of the curriculum beyond the initial camps.
The opportunity was created on May 31, 2019, and the original application deadline was July 31, 2019. Overall, it is a single-award, medium-sized grant aimed at building a structured curriculum, developing a trained network of educators, and engaging a broad cross-section of Romanian undergraduates in a national program of learning and subsequent outreach on the history of communism.Apply for BUCHAREST PAS FY19 03
