Opportunity Information: Apply for TASHKENT PDS FY24 001
The 2024 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2024) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Mission to Uzbekistan (Funding Opportunity Number: TASHKENT PDS FY24 001; CFDA: 19.022). It is designed specifically to support projects proposed and led by alumni of U.S. government-funded or U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs, including participants in programs associated with the J-1 Exchange Visitor framework. The opportunity anticipates making about two awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $35,000 per grant. The application closing date listed for this funding round is January 29, 2024.
Eligibility is centered on exchange alumni leadership. Applications must be submitted either by individual exchange alumni or by alumni associations made up of U.S. government exchange alumni; other types of applicants are not eligible to apply on their own. Project teams must include at least two alumni, and teams are allowed to mix alumni from different exchange programs and from different countries. A key limitation is that alumni who are U.S. citizens are not allowed to submit proposals as the applicant, although U.S. citizen alumni may participate as team members on a project. While only alumni or alumni associations may apply, alumni teams are allowed to partner with nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, or academic institutions to carry out activities, and the grant award itself may be issued either to the alumni applicant or to the partner organization, depending on the implementation arrangement. For-profit entities are not eligible to apply for this notice of funding opportunity, even if they resemble otherwise allowable partner categories.
There are also administrative compliance requirements tied to federal award management systems. Any organization that will receive an award (such as a partner organization that is designated as the recipient) must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and maintain an active, valid registration in SAM.gov. Individuals are not required to obtain a UEI or register in SAM.gov to be eligible, which matters for cases where an individual alumnus/alumna is the direct recipient rather than an organization.
AEIF 2024 includes strict funding restrictions, and applications that include prohibited activities or costs are considered ineligible by the selection committee. The program will not fund airfare to or from the United States or its territories, and it will not support activities that take place within the United States or its territories. It also does not pay for staff salaries, office space, or general overhead/operational expenses, signaling that budgets should be tightly tied to direct project costs rather than ongoing institutional expenses. Additionally, the fund will not support large durable equipment purchases or construction.
The restrictions further exclude a wide range of common but non-allowable cost types and project purposes. Prohibited items include alcohol, excessive meals, refreshments, or entertainment, as well as gifts or prizes. The fund is not intended for academic or scientific research, charitable or development activities, or the provision of direct social services to a population, meaning proposals should focus on engagement, innovation, and alumni-driven initiatives rather than service delivery or humanitarian assistance. Individual scholarships are not allowed, and neither are social travel or personal visits. Projects that duplicate existing programs are disallowed, as are activities aimed at institutional development of an organization, which typically includes capacity-building meant primarily to strengthen an institution rather than achieve a defined public-impact project outcome.
Finally, the opportunity draws clear lines around impermissible financial and political or religious uses. It cannot be used for venture capital, for-profit endeavors, or any project that charges participants a fee to take part. It also cannot support specific religious activities, fundraising campaigns, or any partisan political activity, including supporting or opposing political parties or candidates, or lobbying for specific legislation. Taken together, these rules indicate AEIF 2024 is meant for alumni-led, publicly beneficial project activities implemented outside the United States, with disciplined, project-specific budgets and a strong emphasis on noncommercial, nonpolitical, nonreligious programming.Apply for TASHKENT PDS FY24 001
