Opportunity Overview The U.S. Embassy Baghdad Public Diplomacy Section is running an open competition for a single grant worth between $450,000 and $500,000 to implement the English Access Microscholarship Program across Central and Southern Iraq. The winning organization will deliver English-language instruction to Iraqi youth, a core part of Mission Iraq's broader goals. For young Iraqis, English skills open doors to higher education, jobs, exchange programs, and engagement with the wider world. The program targets teenagers and young adults who would not otherwise have access to English training. Grantees typically run after-school classes, intensive sessions, and cultural activities that go beyond grammar drills. The curriculum often includes U.S. culture, civic values, and leadership skills, so students gain more than language ability. They build confidence and a network of peers with similar ambitions. The U.S. Embassy Baghdad Public Diplomacy Section manages public engagement and cultural exchange efforts across Iraq. It works to strengthen ties between Americans and Iraqis through educational programs, alumni networks, and media outreach. This grant is one piece of that mission, and the embassy will likely stay closely involved in monitoring progress and outcomes. Iraq's operating environment is challenging. Security varies by region, and organizations need local knowledge and strong partnerships to work effectively. Central and Southern Iraq includes major cities like Baghdad, Basra, and Najaf, each with distinct dynamics. Any applicant needs a proven track record of delivering programs in the country or active partnerships with local groups that can navigate the logistics. Benefits - Award ceiling of $500,000 - Award floor of $450,000 - Single award for one implementing organization - Funding supports English-language instruction for Iraqi youth - Program aligns with U.S. Embassy goals for educational access and exchange Eligibility - Open to U.S. and foreign not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations - Open to public and private educational institutions - Open to Public International Organizations and Governmental institutions - Must have demonstrated experience developing and administering similar programs - Must have the capacity to operate in Iraq or active partnerships with organizations operating in Iraq Required Documents - Proposal outlining the program design and implementation plan - Evidence of experience with similar educational or exchange programs - Documentation of partnerships with organizations operating in Iraq, if applicable - Budget detailing how the requested funds will be used How to Apply 1.

U.S. Embassy Jakarta Media Small Grants Competition

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta is offering a Media Small Grants Competition, with awards between $5,000 and $20,000, to support journalism capacity-building projects across Indonesia. The program funds one grantee who will train journalists, student journalists, and community organizations in press freedom, digital freedom, data-driven journalism, investigative journalism, and AI in journalism. Projects must take place in Indonesia, with priority given to work in Sumatra, West Java, Kalimantan, and Papua. The grant comes with specific, measurable targets. The winning project must engage at least 200 Indonesian journalists and community members, with 70 percent of participants demonstrating a new skill. It must also produce at least 40 pieces of public-facing content reaching a combined audience of 5 million people, and strengthen the Embassy's network by engaging at least 10 organizations in the priority regions. The project period runs until these objectives are met, and the recipient will work closely with the Embassy throughout, keeping it informed of any changes to scope, duration, or budget. The U.S. Embassy Jakarta is part of the U.S. Department of State's diplomatic mission in Indonesia. It manages public diplomacy programs, exchange initiatives, and grants that advance U.S. foreign policy priorities in the Indo-Pacific region. This competition specifically supports the Embassy's goal of protecting freedom of speech, digital freedom, and regional security by strengthening the capacity of Indonesian media professionals to report accurately on critical issues like democratic governance, economic development, and emerging technologies. Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country, with over 270 million people and one of the largest social media user bases globally. Journalists there work in a complex media environment where false information, manipulated digital media, and coordinated inauthentic behavior are growing concerns. The grant explicitly requires that any fact-checking or verification activities rely on objectively verifiable evidence and recognized investigative methodologies, including technical approaches for identifying manipulated or AI-generated content. Importantly, the program does not classify policy disagreements or political viewpoints as misinformation simply because they differ from official positions. Eligible applicants are Indonesian nationals who are past or current participants of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs and who work as journalists or directly within the field of journalism. Individuals and teams of individuals may apply. The grant will not fund activities that began with other funds, citizen exchange programs without a U.S. angle, projects involving international travel, political party activities, religious activities, or social welfare projects.

The winning organization will lead performance management, data collection, and compliance support efforts for CSBG states, territories, and eligible entities across the United States. This is a national competition, and only one organization will be selected. The work centers on helping the CSBG network turn raw data into actionable insights. The selected organization will support data quality, outcome measurement, and the annual Report to Congress.

This cooperative agreement builds on a previous funding opportunity and enhances the CSBG Performance Management Framework by emphasizing training and technical assistance (T/TA). The Office of Community Services sits within ACF, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ACF oversees roughly $60 billion in annual funding for programs that support families, children, and communities. OCS specifically manages the CSBG program, which funds over 1,000 local community action agencies nationwide. These agencies work directly with low-income families and communities to address poverty, housing, employment, and other basic needs. The CSBG network has operated for decades, and this funding opportunity is designed to strengthen how that network measures and reports its impact. The United States offers a varied working environment depending on where the selected organization is based. Living costs range from roughly $1,200 to $2,200 per month depending on housing, health insurance, and other expenses. The country spans multiple climate zones, from coastal regions to continental interiors. For international applicants, note that foreign entities are not eligible for this award.

CSBG Tribal Capacity Building Training and Technical Assistance

Opportunity Overview The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is offering a single cooperative agreement of $500,000 to support one organization in building tribal capacity within the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program. This is the CSBG Tribal Capacity Building Training and Technical Assistance (TCBTTA) project, and it directly addresses a gap in the CSBG system: there is currently no tailored training and technical assistance specifically for tribal grant recipients. The winning organization will help tribes and tribal organizations administer their CSBG services more effectively, strengthen compliance, and use funds to support housing and economic stability initiatives aligned with the "A Home for Every Child" administrative priority. The work involves more than just handing out information. The selected organization will deliver training and technical assistance (TTA) on CSBG oversight, budgeting, financial reporting, internal controls, and compliance with federal grant requirements. It will also help tribes complete the CSBG Tribal Annual Report and use data to improve their programs. A major part of the role is assisting tribes with community needs assessments and developing CSBG plans that reflect tribal priorities, all while honoring tribal sovereignty. The organization will also facilitate connections among tribal award recipients so they can share best practices, challenges, and improved processes. ACF is a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It funds state, territory, local, and tribal organizations that provide assistance to families and individuals in need. The CSBG program itself distributes federal funds to states and tribes to combat poverty at the local level. This particular grant focuses on the tribal component of that network, which has historically received less dedicated support than other CSBG recipients. The work takes place across the United States, where tribal communities are spread from the Southwest deserts to the Pacific Northwest and the Great Plains. Living costs vary widely by state, averaging $1,200 to $2,200 per month depending on housing, health insurance, and other expenses. The organization receiving this award will likely work remotely with tribal partners across multiple states, so familiarity with the diversity of tribal nations and their distinct governance structures will be essential. Benefits - Award amount: $500,000 - Single cooperative agreement awarded to one organization - Funding supports training and technical assistance delivery to tribal CSBG recipients nationwide Eligibility - Open to CSBG-eligible entities as defined by Section 678A(c)(2) of the CSBG Act (42 U.S.C. 9913(c)(2)) - Open to statewide or local organizations or associations with demonstrated expertise in providing training on methods to effectively address the needs of families and communities with low incomes - Faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements may apply - Applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, are not eligible - Applications from foreign entities are not eligible and will be disqualified from merit review and funding How to Apply 1.

These CoPs will serve CSBG-funded states, territories, tribes, state associations, and eligible entities across the United States. The goal is to build capacity that helps families with low incomes move toward economic security through coordinated services and systems alignment.

It covers cooperation in diplomacy, trade, space, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, and other shared priorities. The winning organization will receive up to $25,000 to design and deliver the entire program. The Council supports two bigger initiatives: the U.S. Embassy's Freedom250 campaign, which marks the 250th anniversary of American independence, and Oman Vision 2040, the country's national plan for economic and social transformation. The program's goals are to build youth leadership, encourage civic participation, develop human capital, and create lasting people-to-people ties between the two countries. The selected partner will handle everything from recruiting students on university campuses to organizing the final capstone event. The U.S. Embassy in Muscat has been active in Oman for decades, managing diplomatic relations, cultural exchange programs, and development cooperation.

The Embassy will work closely with the chosen organization on participant selection, speakers, official visits, program content, public communications, and approving mini-grant projects. The program takes place in Oman, a country with a young population and a rapidly diversifying economy. University students there study across disciplines, from engineering to business to the humanities. The program's structure, with monthly sessions over seven months, means participants will meet regularly while continuing their studies.

Collaborative Approaches to Adoption for Children with Complex Needs

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is funding up to three projects, each worth between $1.5 million and $2.15 million, to study how child welfare systems can help children and youth with complex needs find permanent homes through adoption. The focus is on collaborative, system-level efforts to recruit, train, support, and retain adoptive families for children who are harder to place, such as older youth, sibling groups, or children with significant medical, emotional, or behavioral challenges. Projects must be led by researchers who either work inside a child welfare agency or partner closely with one or more agencies. The idea is that researchers and child welfare staff work together to identify promising approaches, study how they work in practice, and evaluate whether they actually help children achieve permanency. The funding agency is especially interested in collaborations that involve Medicaid Section 1115 Research and Demonstration Projects, private adoption agencies, or community- and faith-based organizations. Each project has three core expectations. First, you will study how the model works in practice, meaning an implementation study that looks at what happens on the ground. Second, you will evaluate the effectiveness of the approach. Third, you will use the most rigorous research designs, methods, and analytic techniques that are appropriate for your research questions. Projects should build on existing research evidence and contribute knowledge that can be generalized beyond a single site. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), which sits within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, oversees this funding. ACF is the federal agency responsible for child welfare, foster care, and adoption programs across the United States. It administers billions of dollars in grants each year to state, tribal, and local agencies, as well as nonprofit organizations. This particular funding opportunity reflects a broader federal push to use evidence-based practices in child welfare and to strengthen the adoptive family pipeline for children who wait the longest for permanency. The work will take place in the United States, where child welfare systems are organized at the state and county level. This means researchers will need to navigate different state laws, funding structures, and agency cultures. Living costs vary widely by state, averaging $1,200 to $2,200 per month depending on housing, health insurance, and campus meal plans. For international researchers, F-1 visa holders can work up to 20 hours per week on-campus during academic terms and can apply for CPT or OPT for off-campus industry training. The U.S. offers vibrant campus cultures, world-class university research infrastructure, and varied regional climates ranging from coastal to continental. Benefits - Award ceiling of $2,150,000 per project - Award floor of $1,500,000 per project - Up to three awards will be made - Funding supports implementation studies, effectiveness evaluations, and rigorous research design Eligibility - Applications from individuals, including sole proprietorships, are not eligible - Applications from foreign entities are not eligible and will be disqualified from merit review and funding - Faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements are eligible for awards - Projects must be led by researchers who work within a child welfare agency or in close partnership with one or more child welfare agencies - Collaborations with Medicaid Section 1115 Research and Demonstration Projects, private adoption agencies, or community- or faith-based organizations are of particular interest Required Documents - Application must demonstrate that the project will be led by a researcher working within or in close partnership with a child welfare agency - Application must describe how the project will study the model in practice through an implementation study - Application must describe how the project will evaluate the effectiveness of the approach - Application must specify the research designs, methods, and analytic techniques to be used How to Apply 1.

This grant cycle will fund three awards, with each award ranging from $100,000 to $1,500,000. The BLM manages over 160,000 abandoned mine features on its lands, many of which pose physical safety hazards or environmental contamination risks. The program focuses on two core areas. First, the Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) program addresses physical safety hazards like open shafts and adits, and contamination that threatens human health and the environment. Second, the program handles hazardous materials response, including work under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) authorities. Projects may involve fencing, back-filling, bat-friendly grates, watershed restoration, and removal of hazardous substances. The BLM wants to build partnerships with States, local governments, Tribal Nations, and voluntary environmental and citizen groups. These cooperative agreements aim to protect surface water, groundwater, soil, sediment, and air from abandoned mine sites, address hazardous substance releases, safeguard dangerous sites, and restore lands to productive uses like recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, and preservation of historical and cultural resources. The BLM is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior. It manages over 245 million acres of public land, primarily in the western United States, including Alaska. The agency's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. Working with the BLM means operating across diverse landscapes, from desert canyons to alpine forests, with regional offices coordinating projects at the state and field level. Living and working in the United States varies significantly by region. Monthly living costs average $1,200 to $2,200 depending on housing, health insurance, and location. The country offers world-class research infrastructure and vibrant campus cultures if you partner with universities. Regional climates range from coastal to continental, so project conditions depend heavily on where the work takes place. For international partners, visa requirements depend on the nature of the collaboration, but F-1 visa holders can work up to 20 hours per week on-campus during academic terms and may apply for CPT/OPT for off-campus training. Benefits - Award amounts range from $100,000 to $1,500,000 per project - Three awards available under this funding opportunity - Funding supports cooperative agreements for environmental restoration and hazardous materials cleanup - Projects can address physical safety hazards, contamination, watershed restoration, and land rehabilitation - Partnerships with BLM provide access to federal land management expertise and resources Eligibility - Open to States, local governments, Tribal Nations, and voluntary environmental and citizen groups - Individuals are ineligible to apply - For-profit organizations are ineligible to apply - This program does not support hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 - Youth Conservation Corps may only apply for projects under NOFO 15.243, the BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands Required Documents - Proposal describing the abandoned mine or hazardous materials project - Budget detailing how funds will be used - Documentation of partnership status or organizational capacity - Any applicable environmental compliance documentation How to Apply 1.

U.S.-ASEAN Road to 50: Rising Leaders Forum

Opportunity Overview The U.S. Mission to ASEAN is accepting applications to organize and run the U.S.-ASEAN Road to 50: Rising Leaders Forum, a one-day workshop in Jakarta that will bring together roughly 50 alumni from USASEAN exchange programs across Southeast Asia. The winning applicant gets between $60,000 and $85,000 to plan, host, and oversee the entire event. This is a grant for an organization or individual, not a scholarship for students. The forum marks 50 years of U.S.-ASEAN partnership and looks ahead to the next half-century. The core goal is to build an independent, self-sustaining alumni network that can collaborate on regional challenges. Participants will design joint action plans tied to U.S. priorities, including the U.S.-ASEAN Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, ASEAN centrality, artificial intelligence, the digital economy, energy security, critical minerals, resilient supply chains, maritime security, and entrepreneurship. The event will feature expert panels, strategy sessions, and a joint social media campaign to turn policy goals into practical, cross-border initiatives. The U.S. Mission to ASEAN is the diplomatic arm of the United States government focused on the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Based in Jakarta, the mission works on everything from trade and security to public health and education. Its Public Diplomacy Section runs exchange programs, cultural events, and policy dialogues that connect American and Southeast Asian leaders. This forum is part of that broader effort to deepen ties between the U.S. and the region. Jakarta is a dense, sprawling city of over 10 million people, and it serves as the headquarters for ASEAN itself. The working language for the forum will be English, which is widely used in professional and government settings across Southeast Asia. The city has a tropical climate, with high humidity and frequent rain showers year-round. For international participants, Indonesia offers visa-on-arrival for many nationalities, though organizers should factor in travel logistics for alumni coming from different countries in the region. Benefits - Award ceiling of $85,000 - Award floor of $60,000 - Single award for one applicant Eligibility - Not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations - Public and private educational institutions - Individuals - Public International Organizations and Governmental institutions How to Apply 1. Read the full Notice of Funding Opportunity on the U.S. Mission to ASEAN website to understand all requirements and instructions. 2.
