## What the grant funds

The EnglishxSTEM initiative advances U.S. economic and technological interests by partnering with Dominican public and private sector stakeholders to deliver high-impact English for Specific Purposes (ESP) training in strategically relevant productive sectors. Implemented through collaboration with universities, INFOTEP, AIRD, CONEP, the National English Working Group, and other institutions, the initiative will strengthen workforce readiness and support U.S.-Dominican collaboration in STEM, semiconductors, cybersecurity, biotechnology, energy, artificial intelligence, and research and innovation. Over a three-year period, the proposed $100, 000 program will design and implement at least five ESP programs reaching approximately 500–800 Dominican students, faculty, and professionals nationwide. Participants will develop technical English skills aligned with U.S. industry standards, including professional communication, compliance and safety terminology, project coordination, and participation in innovation ecosystems. The initiative should also include some aspect of U.S.-based professional exchanges and faculty training opportunities, while leveraging burden-sharing contributions from Dominican partners to ensure sustainability, institutional collaboration, and long-term impact. The selected implementing partner will coordinate logistics, partnerships, curriculum development, and monitoring activities aligned with U.S. Public Diplomacy priorities. A. ELIGIBILITY 1.
