U.S. Mission New Zealand Annual Program Statement: The U.S. Department of State’s Mission New Zealand Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) announces an open competition to implement a program to advance U.S.- New Zealand economic, scientific, and cultural ties. The program is intended to support organizations to build capacity to strengthen or advance the U.S.-New Zealand relationship. Projects may address one or more of the following areas but are not strictly limited to the following topics: · Promoting science by reinforcing cooperation in key domains, including (but not limited to) scientific research in Antarctica, space exploration and regulatory frameworks, and critical technology and artificial intelligence. · Advancing prosperity by promoting economic growth and innovation with a focus on biotechnology, space technology, and broader innovation sectors. · Strengthening democratic values and ties through programs that celebrate shared democratic principles, cultural connections, and innovative spirit of the peoples of the United States and New Zealand, including but not limited to programming leveraging sports, education, and other areas of connection. This Annual Program Statement (APS) seeks to partner with eligible entities, including not-for-profit organizations, education institutions, individuals, or government institutions, to advance U.S. foreign policy by strengthening the U.S.-New Zealand partnership in science, innovation, and shared values. By promoting collaboration in scientific research, space, critical technology, and disaster management, the APS supports a free and open Indo-Pacific and helps shape global standards. Initiatives in biotechnology and space technology foster economic growth and expand opportunities for U.S. businesses. Programs that highlight our shared history and values reinforce U.S. leadership and mutual understanding, laying the groundwork for lasting cooperation.
