The 2017 competition for the U.S.-Russia Peer-to-Peer Dialogue Program is now open.
The application deadline is 18:00 Moscow time (11:00 EDT), Thursday, June 1, 2017.
The U.S. Department of State announces the next round of competition for the U.S.-Russia Peer-to-Peer Dialogue Program, which provides grants of up to $100,000 to support unique projects centered on Russian-American, peer-to-peer collaboration, including an exchange of best practices on a topic of mutual interest. The purpose of the program is to foster greater contacts between Americans and Russians.
In the proposal, applicant organizations must clearly demonstrate collaboration with a peer organization in the other country. Projects must be non-political in nature and focus on Russian-American peer-to-peer dialogue or people-to-people engagement on themes of mutual interest.
Applicants are encouraged to incorporate innovative methodologies to accomplish program goals and foster interaction among peers. Successful projects will result in a product or outcome which enhances interaction and understanding between our two societies.
