Opportunity Information: Apply for DOSRUS 19 CA 011
The Journalism Summer School grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Russia) funding competition run through the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, specifically its Public Affairs Section (PAS Moscow). The goal is to fund one organization to design and administer a three-week, intensive, hands-on journalism summer school for young Russian journalists (ages 20 to 30). The program is planned to take place at the American Center in Moscow in June or July 2020 and is intended to strengthen professional journalism skills and standards by emphasizing core practices commonly associated with Western journalism.
Program content is expected to be delivered primarily through sessions led by U.S. journalism educators and should cover practical and values-based topics such as journalism ethics, cultivating and protecting sources, fact-checking and verification, and other foundational reporting methods that the opportunity notes are often underdeveloped in the Russian media environment. In addition to classroom-style instruction and skills workshops, the summer school is also expected to include meetings or engagements with journalists from both Western and Russian news organizations. Another key element is orienting participants to resources that can support their ongoing reporting and professional development after the program ends.
The selected awardee will not operate independently; instead, the award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. Embassy anticipates substantial involvement throughout implementation. That involvement includes working closely with the Embassy's Public Affairs and Cultural Affairs sections on identifying and selecting participants, and receiving Embassy approval on the program structure and content. The implementing organization is expected to collaborate with Mission Russia to shape the agenda, confirm speakers and sessions, and ensure the overall design aligns with Embassy objectives.
A notable logistical responsibility for the grantee is supporting participant travel and on-the-ground logistics, particularly for selected participants who live outside Moscow and need assistance to attend the program at the American Center. In practical terms, the implementing organization should be prepared to manage coordination tasks such as travel arrangements, local transportation as needed, scheduling, space and session logistics, and other administrative support required to run a multi-week in-person training program.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of up to $150,000, with the Embassy expecting to make one award. The opportunity number is DOSRUS 19 CA 011, categorized as discretionary funding, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, as well as nonprofit organizations with U.S. 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The posting lists a creation date of June 28, 2019, and an original application closing date of August 31, 2019. The solicitation also imposes a strict submission rule: each applicant may submit only one proposal, and if an applicant submits multiple proposals, all of that applicant's submissions will be deemed ineligible and removed from consideration.Apply for DOSRUS 19 CA 011
