The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy Tbilisi PDS announces an open competition to implement programs that strengthen the bilateral relations between the United States and Georgia by advancing cultural engagement that supports shared interests in security, economic growth, and regional stability. Proposed programs should highlight the value of U.S.–Georgia cooperation and reinforce the strong people-to-people ties. All programs must include a clear American component, such as collaboration with American experts, organizations, or institutions, that promotes greater understanding of U.S. policies, perspectives, and approaches while fostering opportunities for collaboration that support mutual prosperity and a safer, stronger community. | | Link to Additional Information | | Grantor Contact Information | If you have difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, please contact: Tbilisi Cultural Team tbilisiCultural@state.gov |
