Description
The U.S. Embassy Montevideo Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for one cooperative agreement to develop, implement and manage programs that support the Embassy’s strategic priorities. Working closely with the U.S. Embassy, the successful applicant will manage a Public Diplomacy small grants program, including promoting it, accepting, and reviewing grant proposals, corresponding with applicants, managing payments and financial records, and monitoring and evaluating the programs. All supported activities must include a clear U.S. element, such as engagement with U.S. experts, institutions, or organizations. Recipients may enter into subawards with other entities to accomplish the project outlined in the award. The primary recipient is responsible for monitoring and providing oversight of the subrecipient’s performance and expenditures. Adequate documentation of the subrecipients’ compliance with award terms and conditions must be maintained by the primary recipient and made available to the Grants Officer upon request. This includes the subaward selection methodology and any relevant policies the primary recipient has regarding subawards and subaward monitoring. The U.S. Embassy in Montevideo will select the best-qualified proposals that show clear alignment with Embassy strategic priorities: promoting increased understanding of the United States among the Uruguayan public, showcasing American excellence, and making the United States safer, stronger and more prosperous. Funding decisions will be made through a merit-based approach, supporting applicants and programs that generate measurable outcomes and long-term benefits. This notice is subject to availability of funding. The Public Diplomacy Section reserves the right to award less or more than the funds described under circumstances deemed to be in the best interest of the U.S. government, pending the availability of funds and approval of the designated grants officer.
