Synopsis

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of U.S. Embassy Doha is pleased to announce a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for proposals aimed at strengthening ties between the United States and Qatar. This initiative seeks to foster mutual understanding and collaboration through programs that highlight shared values and promote bilateral cooperation. The overarching goal is to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous by leveraging strategic themes and priorities. Strategic Themes and Priorities include; America 250: In anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the United States, proposals should include programs that celebrate this milestone by emphasizing the historical and cultural connections between the United States and Qatar; Entrepreneurship: Proposals should aim to foster entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. Programs may include workshops, mentorship opportunities, and collaborative projects that support startups and small businesses. The goal is to create a dynamic environment that encourages economic growth and job creation; Emerging Technology/Artificial Intelligence (AI): Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that explore the potential of emerging technologies and AI to address common challenges; and Youth Leadership: Proposals should focus on empowering the next generation of leaders. Programs may include leadership training, exchange programs, and initiatives that encourage civic engagement and community service among youth. Applicants should have considerable, practical, and relevant experience in the implementation of the proposed activities to be seriously considered for this project. Previous experience working with Qatari audiences is required. Proposals must identify a clearly defined target audience that the project seeks to influence. Well-defined audiences are countable and accessible through the project’s activities. Please refer to the related documents tab for the Full Text and instructions of this funding opportunity.
