Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA19APS00005
The Higher Education Partnerships (HEP) - Morocco Addendum_STIP APS is a USAID funding opportunity focused on strengthening higher education capacity through structured partnerships between U.S. colleges and universities and Moroccan higher education institutions. The core idea is to use international collaboration and innovation to help Moroccan universities build stronger academic programs and institutional systems, with a clear emphasis on practical, sustainable capacity development rather than short-term technical assistance.
In this addendum, the central program objective is to support Moroccan universities in creating and launching a new, comprehensive undergraduate degree in teaching, described as the "Licence en science de l'enseignement." In plain terms, the opportunity is geared toward helping Morocco design a full bachelor-level pathway for preparing future teachers, including the curriculum, instructional methods, academic governance, and supporting institutional structures needed to make the degree credible, rigorous, and durable over time. The focus on an undergraduate teaching degree suggests attention not only to subject-matter preparation, but also to pedagogy, classroom practice, assessment, and the professional standards required for effective teaching.
The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under Funding Opportunity Number 7200AA19APS00005, categorized as an earmark, and listed under the education funding activity category. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 98.012, indicating it falls under a broader set of USAID assistance programs. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which often signals that the award mechanism may not fit neatly into a single standard label like a grant or cooperative agreement in the public synopsis, while still being a form of federal assistance.
Eligible applicants are higher education institutions in the United States, including both public/state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. This means U.S. universities, colleges, and similar accredited postsecondary institutions are the intended applicants, typically partnering with Moroccan universities and other relevant stakeholders to carry out the program goals. The partnership model implies that proposals would likely need to show a well-defined collaboration plan, clear roles for each institution, and a pathway for transferring knowledge and building systems that Moroccan institutions can sustain independently.
From a funding and scale perspective, the award ceiling is $5,000,000, with an expectation of up to 20 awards. This indicates USAID anticipated supporting multiple partnerships or projects under the broader HEP umbrella, rather than funding only a single large initiative. The opportunity was created on March 22, 2019, with an original closing date of May 1, 2019, reflecting a relatively short application window typical of addenda or targeted solicitations within an existing program framework.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building and program-development initiative in Morocco's higher education sector, using U.S.-Morocco institutional partnerships to modernize and professionalize teacher education at the undergraduate level. The ultimate intent is to strengthen the pipeline of well-prepared teachers by helping Moroccan universities establish a formal degree structure dedicated to the science and practice of teaching, supported by institutional improvements that can continue after USAID funding ends.Apply for 7200AA19APS00005
