Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FAS 10960 0200 10 22 0008
The FAS International Internship Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), designed to place eligible graduate students (and in some cases recent graduates) in USDA overseas offices for short-term, summer internships. The central purpose is to strengthen the United States presence in international agricultural markets by giving emerging professionals hands-on experience supporting U.S. agricultural interests abroad, while also helping FAS offices with practical work that contributes to agricultural analysis and trade promotion. In doing so, the program supports both U.S. export opportunities and broader global food security objectives that align with FAS work worldwide.
FAS functions as USDA's international affairs and trade arm, operating not only from Washington, D.C., but also through a large global field network. The opportunity highlights that FAS maintains 92 overseas offices covering roughly 175 countries, staffed by agricultural attache personnel and locally hired agricultural specialists. These teams serve as on-the-ground observers and advisors for U.S. agriculture, identifying market or policy problems, developing workable solutions, and advancing opportunities for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses while supporting U.S. foreign policy goals. The internship placements are meant to immerse participants in this operational environment so they can learn how agricultural markets, policy, and trade issues are handled in real time in foreign contexts.
Programmatically, the grant supports an anticipated eight-week assignment during the summer timeframe. Interns are expected to contribute to assignments connected to agricultural analysis and efforts that enhance trade linkages between eligible countries and U.S. agricultural stakeholders. While the notice does not list specific project examples, the focus on economics, analytics, and related fields suggests typical work could include market research, data analysis, reporting support, and other analytical tasks that help FAS offices understand local conditions, evaluate trade barriers or opportunities, and communicate findings that can inform U.S. agricultural trade strategy.
A key feature of this opportunity is that the award is not made directly to individual students. Instead, a single recipient organization is funded to manage the International Internship Program (IIP) on USDA's behalf. Eligible applicants are higher education institutions, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The selected recipient is responsible for administering the program for eligible participants, meaning it must handle the operational and program management functions needed to place interns successfully in overseas USDA offices. The announcement notes that a full set of management expectations is described in Section F of the full funding notice, indicating that the recipient must meet specific requirements for oversight, coordination, and implementation beyond simply selecting students.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number USDA FAS 10960 0200 10 22 0008 under CFDA 10.960, with an activity category of Agriculture and a grant as the funding instrument type. The award ceiling is listed at $304,000, and USDA anticipated making one award. The opportunity record shows a creation date of June 29, 2022, with an original closing date of August 5, 2022. Overall, the grant supports a structured pipeline that connects graduate-level training in economics and analytics with practical, overseas service in USDA offices, aiming to build talent while strengthening the analytic and trade-support capacity of FAS field posts.Apply for USDA FAS 10960 0200 10 22 0008
