Opportunity Information: Apply for UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP FY24 ARM 7
The U.S. Mission to Armenia (U.S. Embassy Yerevan) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement to launch a new U.S.-Armenia university or institutional partnership that will create and deliver a certificate or training program in mediation and conflict resolution based in Armenia. The central idea is to bring U.S. expertise and proven training approaches in mediation and conflict resolution into Armenia's higher education and professional development space, strengthening local capacity to educate and prepare practitioners who can contribute to peacebuilding, regional cooperation, and longer-term normalization of relations in the region.
The initiative is structured as an academic-style certificate or practical training program conducted in Armenia and made up of multiple courses. In addition to classroom or cohort-based instruction, the program is expected to include development and incubation of follow-on projects that participants design and implement. The overall effort is planned as a two-year commitment, with the possibility of continuation if there is demonstrated need and value. Funding is intended to cover three main components: designing the program, running two iterations (two cohorts/cycles) of the training or certificate, and providing small grants that allow participants to turn their training into real-world peacebuilding initiatives.
The opportunity is organized around three objectives. First, it aims to strengthen Armenia's higher education sector by establishing a durable partnership between Armenian and U.S. institutions that can transfer U.S. best practices in mediation and conflict resolution training into Armenian contexts. Second, it focuses on building a clear pipeline of trained peacebuilders by delivering a certificate or training program that serves both students and working professionals, equipping them with skills they can apply in conflict resolution and reconciliation work. Third, it extends support beyond the classroom by offering small grant funding and mentorship to program graduates so they can launch or expand practical peacebuilding projects, with an emphasis on initiatives that advance regional peace and normalization goals.
The program's primary audience is Armenian undergraduate and graduate students who are considering careers connected to peace and public affairs, such as international relations, political science, peace and conflict studies, journalism, and related fields. A secondary audience includes early to mid-career professionals seeking to deepen mediation and conflict resolution skills relevant to their current work. This professional group may include people from think tanks, civil society organizations and NGOs, journalism, government, and other roles where negotiation, dialogue facilitation, and conflict management are directly applicable. The grant anticipates serving about 25 Armenian participants per year as direct program beneficiaries, while the small-grants component is expected to reach roughly 150 additional Armenian youth and civil society representatives as indirect beneficiaries through the projects participants implement.
Eligible applicants include public or private institutions of higher education in Armenia and the United States, as well as nonprofit organizations with a mission aligned to conflict resolution and prevention and a demonstrated track record delivering mediation and conflict resolution training. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number "UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP FY24 ARM 7," with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an expectation of one award. The original application closing date was March 13, 2024, and the opportunity is administered by the U.S. Mission to Armenia under CFDA number 19.900.
