Bureau Of Educational and Cultural Affairs · $1M

The Global Leaders Division in the Office of Citizen Exchanges at the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) seeks proposals for a cooperative agreement to design and implement the FY 2026 Community Engagement Exchange (CEE). CEE is a two-way exchange initiative for approximately 30-40 emerging civic leaders (ages 22-27), from Europe and Eurasia, that provides skill-based training, hands-on activities, and practical application of one of the First Amendment’s most fundamental rights: the freedom of speech. Grounded in the enduring principles of the U.S. Constitution, CEE equips participants with the skills to promote free speech, reduce conflict and strengthen community engagement. CEE participants will work alongside American counterparts in a substantive six- to eight-week exchange program, including a four-to five-week individually tailored professional placement in a U.S. organization, designed to cultivate practical First Amendment (1A) skills. Approximately 15–20 Americans will travel on reciprocal visits, co-designed with CEE participants, that showcase America’s leadership, promote free speech, and create opportunities for sustained collaboration. CEE advances U.S. foreign policy by strengthening the free speech and community engagement, promoting constructive public discourse, and fostering international partners equipped to address complex challenges in alignment with U.S. interests. CEE is supported by Pawel Adamowicz supplemental funding. Please see the Notice of Funding Opportunity for additional information.

U.S. Mission to the Dominican Republic · $30K–$80K

1. Project Background, Goals, and Objectives The U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo seeks to increase Dominican engagement with U.S.-linked opportunities in technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, and emerging industries at a time when fields such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, engineering, cybersecurity, and digital innovation are reshaping the global economy and workforce. The Dominican Republic has a growing ecosystem of students, entrepreneurs, startups, and innovation-focused institutions interested in STEM and technology-related sectors. However, many young Dominicans and emerging professionals have limited direct exposure to U.S. companies, innovation ecosystems, entrepreneurial models, and private-sector leaders that can help them access international opportunities and envision future collaboration with U.S. partners. This program seeks to address these challenges by creating a high-visibility public event that connects Dominican audiences with U.S. companies, entrepreneurs, innovators, and technology leaders through interactive and practical experiences. The U.S. Tech and Science Innovation Fair will showcase U.S. leadership in technology and innovation while creating opportunities for networking, mentorship, collaboration, and exposure to U.S.-linked educational and professional pathways. Activities may include corporate booths and demonstrations, panels on U.S. leadership in technology and semiconductors, entrepreneur and alumni storytelling sessions, networking opportunities, innovation showcases, and outreach related to exchange and professional development opportunities connected to the United States. The U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo has previously supported programming related to entrepreneurship, workforce development, innovation, higher education internationalization, exchange programs, and technology-focused outreach initiatives. Previous efforts have demonstrated that public-facing events that combine hands-on engagement, networking opportunities, mentorship, and direct interaction with U.S. experts and private-sector representatives are highly effective in increasing participant interest in U.S.-linked opportunities. Events that provide practical demonstrations, interactive exhibits, and opportunities for direct engagement consistently generate stronger audience participation and media visibility than traditional conference-style programming. Lessons learned from previous initiatives indicate that programming focused primarily on lectures or passive participation produces lower long-term engagement and fewer follow-on opportunities for participants. The U.S. Embassy seeks proposals capable of implementing a large-scale, high-quality event that attracts broad public participation and generates measurable engagement with U.S. companies, innovation ecosystems, and exchange opportunities. Competitive proposals should demonstrate strong event management capacity, private-sector engagement experience, branding and communications expertise, and the ability to coordinate effectively with U.S. Embassy staff, private-sector stakeholders, and local partners. Success will be measured through participant engagement, attendance numbers, media visibility, increased awareness of U.S. technology and innovation leadership, growth in exchange and professional opportunity inquiries, strengthened connections between Dominican and U.S. innovation ecosystems, and sustained follow-on engagement beyond the event itself. Project Audience(s): 1. Dominican University Students and Young Professionals: Undergraduate and graduate students, coding bootcamp participants, STEM students, gamers, makerspace users, and early-career professionals interested in science, technology, entrepreneurship, engineering, innovation, and emerging industries. 2. Entrepreneurs and Innovation Ecosystem Leaders: Startup founders, innovation hub participants, incubators and accelerators, small business owners, technology entrepreneurs, and individuals interested in entrepreneurship, digital innovation, and private-sector collaboration opportunities with U.S. companies and institutions. 3. Private-Sector and Industry Representatives: Dominican companies, chambers of commerce, technology associations, and representatives from industries related to technology, semiconductors, engineering, digital transformation, and innovation seeking networking and collaboration opportunities with U.S. companies and experts. 4. Academic and Institutional Stakeholders: University faculty, engineering and STEM departments, international offices, career services offices, and higher education leaders interested in strengthening connections with U.S. institutions, innovation ecosystems, and professional development opportunities. 5. U.S. Government Exchange Alumni and STEM Professionals: Alumni of U.S. government-funded exchange programs working in technology, entrepreneurship, science, engineering, and innovation-related sectors who can serve as mentors, speakers, and connectors between U.S. and Dominican innovation ecosystems. Project Goal: Advance U.S. foreign policy priorities by positioning the United States as the leading and most accessible partner for Dominican youth, entrepreneurs, and innovation leaders in technology, science, entrepreneurship, and emerging industries, while strengthening commercial, educational, and people-to-people ties between the United States and the Dominican Republic. Project Objectives: ● Objective 1: Increase awareness of U.S. leadership in technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, and emerging industries by engaging at least 500 participants in interactive activities such as corporate demonstrations, innovation showcases, panel discussions, networking sessions, and technology exhibitions, resulting in increased participant awareness of U.S.-linked academic, professional, and entrepreneurial opportunities. ● Objective 2: Strengthen connections between Dominican audiences and U.S. private-sector and innovation ecosystem representatives by facilitating participation from at least three U.S. companies and one U.S. higher education institution through booths, panel discussions, mentorship activities, networking opportunities, or demonstrations, resulting in expanded opportunities for collaboration and follow-on engagement between Dominican and U.S. stakeholders. 2.
