Funding-Limited Submission – U.S. Department of State – The U.S.–Russia Peer-to-Peer Dialogue Program (DOSRUS-13-GR-001); July 15, 2013

To help foster greater contacts between Americans and Russians, the State Department will provide small grants to support meetings, virtual interactions, exchanges, and internships between American and Russian organizations. Applications must clearly demonstrate a proposed collaboration with a peer organization in the other country. This program is not intended to support core funding for applicants, but rather to provide new opportunities for greater dialogue, interaction, and collaboration between Russian and Americans organizations. Projects must be non-political in nature and focus on Russian-American peer-to-peer dialogue or people-to-people engagement on themes of mutual interest. Applicants are encouraged to incorporate innovative ways to foster interaction including the use of social media, video conferencing, short-term academic exchanges, and internships. Successful projects will include an outcome or product that enhances greater interaction and understanding between our two societies. The maximum amount of each grant will be $100,000.

Limited Submission: Applicants may submit only one application.
