The U.S. Embassy Tashkent Public Diplomacy Section (PD) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations or individuals to submit applications to conduct innovative and creative programs to promote and improve English language usage, teaching, and learning for certain specific purposes. As part of the cooperative agreement, priority areas will be identified by Tashkent PD. Potential priority areas include but are not limited to cyber security, law enforcement and forensics, geology and mining, tourism, agriculture, water management, and cultural heritage preservation sectors across Uzbekistan. Proposals must support initiatives such as: improving the English language capacity within one or more of these specific sectors, creating sustainable development models to support the continued development of English language within the identified sector, and increasing the usage of the English language for professional purposes such as publications, international conferences, and international communities of practice. This funding opportunity seeks to improve the quality of English for specific purposes by supporting new programming and projects focused on: increasing English language capacity among those working or studying in designated fields, furthering knowledge of new and innovative ways to support engagement with potential English-speaking partners and developing sustainable programming to support the growth of English within the designated area of study throughout Uzbekistan.
