Opportunity Summary:
Blurred Lines: A Media Ethics Course for Indian Journalists is a U.S. Mission to India (U.S. Consulate General Hyderabad) grant opportunity focused on strengthening journalistic credibility through ethics education. The project centers on co-developing a media ethics course that gives Indian journalists and journalism educators a clear baseline understanding of widely recognized international standards that responsible media organizations are expected to uphold. These standards include accuracy, honesty, transparency, impartiality, and accountability, with the broader goal of helping media professionals better separate fact from fiction and resist the spread of misleading or false narratives.
The funding mechanism is a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee should expect to work collaboratively with the U.S. government partner during development and execution rather than operating entirely independently. The activity category is education, and the grant anticipates making a single award. Total available funding is estimated at $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $20,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for qualified organizations to apply.
A complete proposal is expected to cover not only the design of the course content but also a practical delivery component. Specifically, applicants must plan and run a three-day workshop where the course co-designers present a condensed version of the curriculum to communications and journalism faculty at universities within the consular district served by the U.S. Consulate General Hyderabad. The intention is that these faculty participants will evaluate the course for potential adoption within their own academic programs, extending the impact beyond a one-time training and into longer-term instruction for future journalists.
Eligibility is open to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S.-recognized nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on July 7, 2015, with an original and final closing date of August 7, 2015, and an archive date of September 6, 2015. The program is listed under CFDA 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs), reflecting its alignment with public diplomacy and educational exchange objectives.
Applicants looking for the full announcement or facing access issues are directed to contact the Grant Applications Manager at the U.S. Consulate in Hyderabad, using the Additional Information link associated with the U.S. Consulate Hyderabad.
