All application materials must be submitted by email to DohaGrants@state.gov. This notice is subject to availability of funding. Priority Region: Doha and neighboring municipalities. Program Objectives: All program proposals must: • strengthen U.S.-Qatar cooperation on global issues of shared interest; • aim to increase understanding of U.S. values and perspectives; • build relationships between Americans and Qataris; and • include an American element or connection with American organization, institutions, or expert (separate and beyond any involvement with the U.S. Mission, its American Corners, or its USG exchange program alumni).
