Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS SEOUL FY16 01

The U.S. Embassy Seoul Public Affairs Section (PAS), part of the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement titled "U.S. Embassy Seoul PAS Annual Program Statement" (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS SEOUL FY16 01). This opportunity is a discretionary grant program intended to support public diplomacy efforts that strengthen ties between the United States and the Republic of Korea by promoting mutual respect and understanding. The announcement functions as a standing yearly guide that lays out PAS priorities and themes and explains how to submit proposals for consideration.

At its core, the program funds projects that create meaningful exchange or collaboration between U.S. and Korean participants, institutions, or ideas. A key requirement is that every proposal must include a clear American component. In practice, that means the project should directly involve U.S. expertise, U.S. speakers or partners, U.S.-related content, or some other substantive U.S. link that is central to the program design rather than a minor add-on. PAS indicates it will only consider grants that demonstrate this U.S. aspect in a concrete way.

The range of eligible project types is broad and centered on educational, cultural, and professional engagement. Examples mentioned include academic and professional lectures, seminars, and speaker programs; artistic and cultural workshops as well as joint performances and exhibitions; cultural heritage conservation and preservation initiatives; professional and academic exchanges and related collaborative projects; and professional development workshops and training programs. In general, these activities reflect common public diplomacy approaches, such as convenings, people-to-people exchanges, and capacity-building programs that can sustain long-term relationships and understanding.

Eligibility extends to individuals as well as organizations, including non-governmental organizations, think tanks, and academic institutions. The Embassy especially encourages applications from entities located in the Republic of Korea, highlighting registered not-for-profit organizations (including civil society and NGOs with relevant programming experience) and educational institutions. The listing categorizes eligible applicants broadly as "Others," signaling that applicants may include a variety of non-federal entities consistent with the program goals.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is issued by the U.S. Mission to South Korea under CFDA number 19.040. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is listed as "Other," and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $100,000. The notice was created on January 20, 2016, with an original closing date of September 30, 2016. While the number of expected awards is not specified in the provided data, PAS notes that it expects to make only a limited number of awards, which implies a competitive process and the need for proposals that closely match Embassy priorities and clearly demonstrate impact and feasibility.
