PD programs/projects should promote communication, engagement, and/or dialogue between the United States and the Dominican public, enhancing people-to-people connections to U.S. society and culture to build goodwill and lasting bonds. Examples of Public Diplomacy statement of interest proposals include, but are not limited to: &#9679; Academic and professional lectures, seminars and speaker programs; &#9679; Artistic, sports, and cultural workshops, joint performances and exhibitions; and &#9679; Professional and academic exchanges and programs. The submission of the SOI is the first step in a two-step process. Applicants must first submit a concise maximum of 3 pages statement of interest designed to clearly communicate program idea and objectives. This is not a full proposal. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants to submit program 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 program idea(s) by submitting a full proposal application. Full proposals will go through a second merit review before final funding decision(s) are made.
