Eligible themes and/or artistic genres under the CAE vary and are determined based on Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) strategic priorities. In FY 2023, CAE will focus on the following themes:Theme One: Film (American Film Showcase) Theme Two: Music (American Music Abroad) Theme Three: Musical Collaboration as Civic Engagement (OneBeat)Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization. In cases where more than one submission from an applicant appears in grants.gov, ECA will only consider the submission made closest in time to the NOFO deadline; that submission would constitute the one and only proposal ECA would review from that applicant.
