U.S. Consulate General Surabaya PAS Annual Program Statement

This announcement outlines our funding priorities, the strategic themes, and the procedures for submitting requests for funding. Priority will be placed on proposals that will take place at least partially in East Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), Sulawesi, Maluku and North Maluku. Please carefully follow all instructions below. This notice is subject to availability of funding. PAS Surabaya invites Statement of Interest (SOI) for projects that strengthen cultural ties between the United States and Indonesia through programming, projects, and/or activities that highlight shared values and promote bilateral cooperation as well as people-to-people ties. All programs must include an American element, or connection with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy perspectives and/or values. Online and virtual programs are encouraged. The submission of a SOI is the first step in a two-part process. Applicants must first submit a SOI, which is a concise, two-page concept note designed to clearly communicate a program idea and its objectives before the development of a full proposal application. The purpose of the SOI process is to allow applicants the opportunity to submit program ideas for PAS Surabaya to evaluate prior to requiring the development of full proposal applications. Upon at least quarterly review of eligible SOIs, PAS Surabaya will invite selected applicants to expand their ideas into full proposal applications.
