Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS PAN FY24 01
The Panama Exchange Alumni Seminar 2024 is a competitive U.S. Department of State funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Embassy in Panama (U.S. Mission to Panama). It seeks one organization to run a targeted alumni engagement program for former participants of U.S. government-sponsored or U.S. government-facilitated people-to-people exchange programs in Panama (referred to as exchange alumni). The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Embassy is likely to remain actively involved in shaping, guiding, and coordinating key elements of the project to ensure it advances U.S. public diplomacy and foreign policy objectives.
At the center of the project is a single seminar focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically emphasizing how AI can be used to promote equity and inclusion. The selected implementer will be responsible for designing and delivering this seminar experience in a way that is relevant to Panama and meaningful for a professional alumni audience, many of whom are established or emerging leaders across sectors. In addition to the seminar itself, the program must include an alumni networking reception intended to strengthen relationships among alumni and to celebrate the broader impact exchange alumni have had in Panama.
A major required component is a microgrants or small grants element that translates the seminar into real-world action. The implementer must manage a competitive small grants program for teams of seminar participants. These grants are meant to help participants build on the seminar theme by launching or expanding community-facing initiatives tied to AI, equity, and inclusion, positioning alumni as local catalysts and force multipliers. In practice, this implies the awardee will need to establish a transparent competition process, selection criteria, and monitoring approach so that funded teams can carry out tangible projects and demonstrate results aligned with the seminar objectives.
The opportunity is open to U.S. or foreign not-for-profit organizations, including civil society and non-governmental organizations, as well as U.S. or foreign public and private not-for-profit educational or cultural institutions. The Embassy notes that Panama has more than 4,000 exchange alumni, and the broader goal is to sustain engagement with this influential community by providing structured programming and resources that reinforce strategic public diplomacy aims.
Key funding details include an award ceiling of $50,000, with one expected award. The funding opportunity number is PDS PAN FY24 01, and it is listed under CFDA 19.040. The original application deadline is August 9, 2024, and the opportunity was posted on July 15, 2024.Apply for PDS PAN FY24 01
