Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PARIS PD 2018 CA 001
The U.S. Embassy in Paris issued this discretionary grant opportunity, titled "U.S. Speaker Series: Transatlantic Voices: U.S. Commitment to Europe" (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS PARIS PD 2018 CA 001), to support a multi-country speaker series focused on central European audiences. The core purpose is to strengthen transatlantic ties by increasing understanding of U.S. foreign policy and economic priorities related to Europe, promoting economic growth in Europe and the United States with broader global benefits, and reinforcing U.S.-European cooperation grounded in shared cultural, political, and economic values. The program is framed as a public diplomacy and education-oriented initiative (CFDA 19.012) that uses expert-led engagement to deepen mutual understanding of the U.S. role in Europe.
The project concept centers on convening a structured series of events that bring 6 to 10 high-level U.S. experts to speak with and alongside central European counterparts. The Embassy is looking for programming that actively fosters dialogue between U.S. scholars and European experts, government officials, members of the media, students, civil society participants, and representatives from key industries. Rather than being a single conference, the opportunity envisions a coordinated set of engagements across multiple countries, designed to highlight the strength of the transatlantic relationship and create sustained, practical conversation about strategic foreign policy issues affecting Europe and U.S.-Europe relations.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement or partnership by the U.S. government in shaping or overseeing aspects of the project during implementation. The Embassy indicated its intent to make one award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of up to $200,000, contingent on the availability of funds. The anticipated project period was planned to begin around October 1, 2018, and conclude on December 31, 2019, establishing a timeline suitable for planning, recruiting speakers, coordinating multi-country logistics, delivering events, and completing reporting and closeout activities.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning proposals could be submitted by any type of eligible entity, subject to any additional conditions that might have been included in the full announcement’s eligibility language. The opportunity was posted by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to France, with a creation date of August 23, 2018, and an original application deadline of September 19, 2018. Overall, the grant seeks an implementer capable of organizing high-level, policy-relevant speaker programming across central Europe that advances U.S. foreign policy understanding, economic cooperation, and shared transatlantic values through direct engagement with influential and emerging European audiences.Apply for DOS PARIS PD 2018 CA 001
