Description
U.S. Embassy Managua of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for alumni of U.S. government-sponsored and facilitated exchange programs to submit a statement of interest (SOI) for funding to carry out a project that advances U.S. public diplomacy priorities and reinforces ties between the people of the United States and Nicaragua. Please carefully follow all instructions below. The submission of the SOI is the first step in a two-step process. Applicants must first submit a concise 1-3 page statement of interest designed to clearly communicate projects idea and objectives. This is not a full proposal and will not result in a federal assistance award at this step. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit project ideas for evaluation prior to requiring the development of a full proposal application. Upon a merit review of eligible SOIs, selected applicants will be invited to expand on their project idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application. Full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decision(s) are made. Please click on the "Related Documents" tab to download the full announcement and sample Statement of Interest form. Completed Statement of Interest forms should be submitted to PASManagua@state.gov with the subject header "Alumni Small Grants Competition SOI [PROJECT NAME]."
