The Speakers Program proactively promotes understanding of U.S. culture, society and U.S. foreign policies on topics identified by the Embassy and its partner organizations and provides space for dialogue between the peoples of the two countries. The program also fosters American engagement with a wide range of Russian audiences through a range of speaking events, including participation in conferences, festivals and professional meetings.

The grant recipient will work closely with the Assistant Cultural Affairs Officer in charge of the Speakers Program, Consulate Public Affairs Officers, and Cultural Specialists to support people-to-people activities between the people of the United States and Russia, in a range of fields and professions. The grantee will be responsible for providing logistical support to the Embassy in the form of visa assistance, transportation arrangements, and other technical and logistical support, as directed by PAS Moscow. Additional examples of supporting activities include reimbursing speakers for program-related expenditures and processing vendor payments for travel expenses, support or other items.
