not-for-profit U.S. NGOs, U.S. PVOs or U.S. universities to carry out 
programs to develop and strengthen the community of public policy-

policy in four areas: environment, economic restructuring, social 
safety nets and democracy. Applications will be due approximately 45 
days after the official date of issuance.
    Up to ten cooperative agreements may be awarded to U.S. 
organizations for the following activities: (1) nine individual country 
programs providing subgrants and organizational development technical 
assistance, and (2) a regional networking unit intended to provide a 
mechanism for U.S. NGOs and local NGOs to exchange ideas, information 
and resources relating to the promotion and strengthening of the NGO 
sector throughout the region. Individual cooperative agreements will be 
in the range of $1.5 to $5 million over three years. Eligible countries 
are: Albania, Bulgaria, the Baltics (one grant for three countries), 
the Czech Republic (two years), Hungary, Macedonia, Poland, Romania and 
Slovakia. U.S. organizations may apply for a single country grant or

No waivers of the FS-1 salary maximum will be approved.
