Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "English Language Idiom Videos" (Funding Opportunity Number SCA ISB 15 AW 020 05202015), is a Public Diplomacy cooperative agreement offered through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan. The program is designed to support the creation and production of original animated content that teaches American English idioms, paired where appropriate with Pakistani local-language equivalents to help audiences understand meaning and usage. The end goal is practical, accessible language-learning media that can reach learners both digitally and offline.
The funded project is expected to produce animations and then distribute them through multiple formats. A key requirement is delivery through a mobile application that works on both Android and iOS. In addition, the content should be made available on common offline storage options such as DVD, USB drives, and hard drives, reflecting an intent to reach users who may have limited or inconsistent internet access and to enable easy sharing among schools, training centers, and community organizations.
Funding is offered as a single anticipated award, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 100,000. The award ceiling is USD 100,000 and the award floor is USD 80,000, indicating PAS expects proposals to fall within that budget range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or selection.
Eligibility is limited to Pakistan-based and registered organizations, specifically not-for-profit entities, civil society or non-governmental organizations, and educational institutions. Applicants must provide proof of registration with their proposal, which is an explicit application requirement. The opportunity was posted on May 20, 2015, with an application deadline of June 18, 2015, and an archive date of July 18, 2015, meaning it was time-limited and tied to that submission window.
The issuing agency is the U.S. Mission to Pakistan, and the funding aligns with CFDA number 19.501, which covers Public Diplomacy Programs for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Questions or access issues related to the full announcement were directed to Ellen Delage, Program Specialist in the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, Office of Press and Public Diplomacy.
