Description

The Mission of the United States in France 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 2022 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2022). We seek proposals from teams of at least two alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements below. Exchange alumni interested in participating in AEIF 2022 should submit proposals to GrantsFrance@state.gov mail address by January 30, 2022 (round 1) or April 3, 2022 (round 2). The U.S. Mission to France will evaluate all proposals and recommend one to three proposals per round for funding by the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). Projects will be evaluated by ECA against proposals received from alumni around the world. Given the current health situation, projects that can be easily adapted to virtual or hybrid virtual/in-person activities will be given priority. AEIF provides alumni of U.S. 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. Since its inception in 2011, AEIF has funded nearly 500 alumni-led projects around the world through a competitive global competition. This year, U.S. Mission to France will accept public service projects proposed and managed by teams of at least two (2) alumni that support U.S.-France leadership on global challenges: -Environment, climate change -Diversity and Inclusion -Entrepreneurship and economic development -Women and girls' empowerment -Cooperation in sciences, technology, health and innovation -Countering violent extremism -Media literacy and countering disinformation Priority Region: France All application materials must be submitted in English to GrantsFrance@state.gov.
