Public Diplomacy Grants Program: The U.S. Mission Türkiye invites proposals for projects that strengthen ties between the United States and Türkiye through cultural and educational programming that highlights shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation. All proposals must include a U.S. cultural 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 and perspectives, unless otherwise stated below. In all priority program areas, innovative projects that use emerging technology and/or strengthen or expand existing networks across sectors are strongly encouraged. Priority Program Areas: • Shared Security: Support and advance cooperation between the United States and Türkiye through efforts to promote cooperation in NATO. Proposals must include public engagement, such as training, workshops, or other methods to increase dialogue around shared security issues. Proposals advancing the role of women in peace and security are encouraged. • Economic Prosperity and Promoting Innovation: Increase cooperation between U.S. and Turkish scientists, entrepreneurs, and researchers, through public engagements such as information-sharing gatherings, trainings, competitions, or workshops with students and other audiences. Innovative projects could use STEAM, economic prosperity programs, and emerging technologies to counter gender-based violence. • Democratic Values: Reinforce respect for international human rights norms within Türkiye. This may include promotion of democratic values, the rule of law, freedom of expression, and freedom of the press. • Turkish and American Cultural Ties: Build cultural, artistic, sports, and social ties between Turkish and American people.
