A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Embassy of the United States in Panama announces an open competition for past participants (“alumni”) of U.S. government-funded and U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to submit applications to the 2024 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2024). We seek proposals from teams of at least two alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements below. Exchange alumni interested in participating in AEIF 2024 should submit proposals to pancultural@state.gov by January 31, 2024.

 

Program Objectives:

AEIF provides alumni of U.S. government-sponsored and facilitated exchange programs with funding to expand on skills gained during their exchange experience to design and implement innovative solutions to global challenges facing their community.

This year, AEIF 2024 will support the United States’ commitment to equity and inclusion through English-language education.

– Foster Scientific and Technical Innovation through English Language Education

Proposals must address equity and inclusion (supporting marginalized and historically underrepresented communities, including those in rural areas) and include an English-language component. Proposals that do not address the themes as outlined in the program objectives will be deemed ineligible. All project activities must take place outside of the United States and its territories.
