Opportunity Information: Apply for KYIV2018
The Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Ukraine (U.S. Embassy Kyiv), announced a discretionary grant opportunity to create a formal academic partnership between a U.S. university and a Ukrainian higher education institution focused on building government communications capacity in Ukraine. The core idea is to strengthen how Ukrainian public institutions communicate by developing a modern, degree-granting university program that trains future government communications professionals before they enter public service, while also offering a separate track of professional training for current government officials who already work in communications roles.
A major deliverable of the project is the creation of a higher education program in government communications that produces graduates who have practical, job-ready skills relevant to public sector communications offices. This is described as pre-service training: students complete a structured academic pathway (leading to a degree credential) and graduate prepared to pursue employment as communication specialists in government. In parallel, the partnership is expected to design an in-service training component, set up as a professional extension program, to help current officials improve their communications capabilities while on the job.
The opportunity lays out several expected components that define what the partnership should include. It begins with a needs assessment to determine the specific gaps in Ukraine’s government communications education and professional practice, and to ensure the resulting program fits local realities and institutional needs. From there, the partnership is expected to develop or overhaul curriculum, create and deliver joint online courses, and support faculty and student exchanges so that both institutions can share expertise and build long-term collaboration. The project also encourages joint research opportunities involving American and Ukrainian faculty and students, helping the program become more than a set of classes by anchoring it in ongoing academic and applied work. Finally, the partnership must include evaluation and measurement, meaning applicants should plan how they will track outcomes and demonstrate the impact of the new academic and professional training programs.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies a more hands-on relationship with the U.S. government during implementation compared with a standard grant. The opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number KYIV2018 and is associated with CFDA 19.900. Eligible applicants include U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education, reflecting the intent to recruit a capable U.S. university partner with the academic infrastructure needed to build a degree program and sustain institutional collaboration.
The financial scale is designed for a single, flagship partnership: the program anticipated one award with an award ceiling of $1,000,000. The notice was created on June 25, 2018, with an original closing date of August 10, 2018. The full Notice of Funding Opportunity and any detailed application requirements were provided through the U.S. Embassy Kyiv website, which would contain specifics on submission rules, selection criteria, allowable costs, timelines, and reporting expectations.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at building a pipeline of well-trained Ukrainian communications professionals for government service while also upgrading the skills of current officials. By combining academic program development, exchange activities, joint teaching and research, and robust monitoring and evaluation, the partnership is meant to create a sustainable, long-term improvement in government communications education and practice in Ukraine.Apply for KYIV2018
