U.S. Mission Iraq EducationUSA Roadshow

U.S. Mission to Iraq · OFOP0003594 · Deadline: September 11, 2026 · Advertised ceiling: $200k

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 19.021, Investing in People in The Middle East and North Africa), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Ask-amount guidance

Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $35k against a $200k ceiling (18%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 15 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 82% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
