Deadline: 20 April 2015
The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of U.S. Embassy Kyiv is accepting proposals for the Ukraine Media Partnership Program. The project goal is to create and maintain long-term relationships between selected American and Ukrainian media outlets of similar size, and between the individuals who work at both outlets.
Award Period: 12 months
Award Amount: $400,000
PAS encourages applicants to submit proposals for programs that provide for a minimum of two visits to both the U.S. and Ukraine within each institutional partnership. Applicants are encouraged to propose visits with two or more participants in each direction.
Applicants must include a detailed program timeline for entire grant period that outlines how components will unfold and complement each other. Applicants should explain the rationale for proposed partnerships as well as for individual participants with particular emphasis on explaining how proposed partnerships will contribute to the sustainability of the Ukrainian media outlet. PAS must review and approve the names of proposed Ukrainian participants in advance of U.S. travel. PAS anticipates that the majority of Ukrainian participants will not have a working-level knowledge of English. Applicants should describe the provisions that will be made for these non-English speaking participants.
