DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 4924] 

Bureau of Educational and Cultural 

Affairs (ECA) Request for Grant 

Proposals: Arts Exchanges on 

International Issues Program 

Announcement Type: New Grant. 

Funding Opportunity Number: ECA/

PE/C/CU–05–16. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance Number: 19.409. 

Key Dates:

Application Deadline: Tuesday, 

February 15, 2005. 

Executive Summary: The Cultural 

Programs Division of the Office of 

Citizen Exchanges, Bureau of 

Educational and Cultural Affairs 

announces an open competition for 

grants that support exchanges and build 

relationships between U.S. non-profit 

arts, educational and cultural 

organizations and their counterparts 

overseas. U.S. public and non-profit 

organizations meeting the provisions 

described in Internal Revenue code 

section 26 U.S.C. 501 (c)(3) may submit 

proposals that support the goals of the 

Arts Exchanges on International Issues 

Program: to promote mutual 

understanding and partnerships 

between key professionals in the arts 

and arts management and their 

organizations in the United States and 

in other countries through multi-phased 

exchange projects taking place over one 

to three years. An applicant may work 

with other U.S. non-profit partners to 

combine the strengths of their 

organizations and submit a joint project 

proposal. Please note, that in joint 

project proposals the role of each 

organization must be clearly defined 

and any sub-granting agreements must 

be included in the proposal submission. 

To the fullest extent possible 

programs should be two-way exchanges 

supporting roughly equal numbers of 

participants from the U.S. and foreign 

countries. Participants may be 

professional artists, arts educators, arts 

administrators or other arts and cultural 

experts. 

Through these people-to-people 

exchanges, the Bureau seeks to break 

down stereotypes that divide peoples, 

enhance understanding of democratic 

processes, contribute to conflict 

resolution and build respect for cultural 

expression and identity in a world that 

is experiencing rapid globalization. The 

Bureau is especially interested in 

engaging socially and economically 

diverse groups of young people, who 

may not have had extensive contact 

with their counterparts and institutions 

in the United States. Priority will be 

given to proposals that engage these 

participants in countries with 

significant Muslim, and where 

appropriate in the Western Hemisphere, 

indigenous populations. We are 

especially interested in projects that 

accomplish these goals in part by 

addressing public audiences, where 

appropriate to the project. 

For the purposes of this competition, 

eligible regions are Africa, East Asia, 

Eurasia, Central and Southeastern 

Europe, the Near East/North Africa, 

South Asia, and the Western 

Hemisphere. No guarantee is made or 

implied that grants will be awarded in 

all themes and for all regions. As stated 

above, in the Western Hemisphere 

region, the Bureau is particularly 

interested in projects that include 

indigenous populations. 

Applicants proposing projects 

involving Afghanistan, Pakistan and 

Iraq should demonstrate in their 

Narrative Sections their awareness of 

security issues that will affect the ability 

of the grantee organization to arrange for 

travel of U.S. citizens to these countries 

or to conduct site visits, participant 

interviews, seminars, workshops or 

training sessions there. All travel to, and 

activities conducted in, these countries 

will be subject to consultation with and 

approval of official U.S. security 

personnel in country. The applicant 

should be prepared to modify timing or 

to reconfigure project implementation 

plans as required by security 

considerations. 

Proposed projects should be designed 

to foster positive dialogue, joint creative 

activities and co-operative artistic 

endeavors that respond to one of five 

U.S. foreign policy themes: (1) Conflict 

Resolution; (2) New Opportunities for 

Youth, especially in Muslim countries; 

(3) Respect for Cultural Identity and 

Creative Products; (4) Governance, 

Accountability and Transparency in 

Cultural Management; and (5) HIV and 

AIDS Awareness and Prevention. 

[Please see the Purpose Section below 

for a further description of these 

themes]. Projects must include one or 

more of the following disciplines: 

Performing Arts [including, but not 

limited to Dance, Music, Traditional 

Arts and Theater], Visual Arts, Arts 

Education, Arts Management, and Film/

Video/Digital Media.
