See details in Section C. Program Description.

SUSIs for Scholars are post-graduate level seminars held at U.S. academic institutions for groups of approximately 18 foreign university faculty, researchers, and practitioners, who serve as “multipliers” for students and colleagues abroad. The program goal is to provide influential scholars and experts with content and resources that enhance teaching and research about the United States in other countries. SUSIs for Scholars also promote collaboration in research, teaching, and other activities between foreign and American scholars and practitioners.

Each of the three SUSIs for Scholars focuses on a theme or topic in U.S. studies and will include an approximately four-week intensive summer residency at a U.S. educational institution and an approximately one-week integrated academic field experience that will bring participants to a U.S. region distinct from their residency location. Each SUSI must highlight American success and innovation with regard to the SUSIs for Scholars themes. The academic residency should take place on a U.S. university or college campus and should include coursework, time for independent research, and interaction with American peers. The SUSIs for Scholars should include opportunities for continued follow-on engagement once the participants return home.

The award recipient will be responsible for planning, overseeing, and implementing the program, including administering the three SUSIs for Scholars and overseeing all subaward recipients.

Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization. It is ECA’s intent to award a cooperative agreement of one base year plus two renewals. Please see Section A. Basic Information above for additional details.

Review, assess and report those findings of the evaluation. The central aim is to identify precise operational mechanisms and understand various factors that influence these critical determinations.

The first year will focus on the development, collection and analysis of the data while year two will focus on working with subject matter experts to develop national recommendations based on the collected data, to enhance utilization of halfway houses. The diagnostic approach ensures that observed discrepancies between intended goals and actual results can be used to improve upon that decision-making point in state departments of corrections.
