A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Seoul Public Diplomacy Section (PD) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications for programs that promote themes related to economic security, supply chains, quality and sustainable infrastructure, clean energy transition and responsible use of emerging technologies.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity builds upon the theme of the 2024 Summit for Democracy, “Democracy for Future Generations,” hosted this year by the Republic of Korea. The Summit for Democracy is a global initiative that highlights the critical role of democracy, transparency, and inclusivity in tackling the world’s most pressing challenges.
Successful proposals must include an American element or connection with American experts, organizations, or institutions in a field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policies and perspectives. Proposals may include requests for international travel and related costs of experts, speakers, and key individuals in support of broader activities. However, participant exchanges should not be the exclusive program activity.
Embassy Seoul strongly encourages proposals that include substantial outreach in areas outside of the Seoul Metropolitan region. Program activities should take place primarily in the Republic of Korea. Programs in the United States and/or third countries will only be considered with extremely strong justification and/or significant cost sharing (including but not limited to travel expenses and in-kind contributions). Virtual components may be considered to supplement activities within Korea.
