Opportunity Information: Apply for OES OTI 14 001
The Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) initiative, announced by the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs Office of Science and Technology Cooperation within the Department of State, seeks to empower young science and technology entrepreneurs worldwide. The initiative provides training and networking opportunities aimed at enhancing capacity in science and technology innovation to foster economic growth.
This Request for Applications (RFA) includes two main projects:
1. **Project A: GIST Technology Idea (Tech I) Competition** - This competition, with a budget of $594,000, is aimed at young entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35 from specified countries. It targets innovations in health, energy, agriculture, and information and communications technology (ICT). The competition begins with an online application process, progresses to public voting, and culminates in an in-person pitch at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) in Morocco in 2014. It includes mentorship, training for finalists, and an awards ceremony.
2. **Project B: GIST Boot Camps and TechConnects** - With a budget of $396,000, this project involves organizing hands-on boot camps focusing on skill development in key science and technology sectors. These boot camps are designed for young entrepreneurs in the same age range and sectors as Project A. They provide intensive training over 2-3 days, typically in collaboration with local partners and the U.S. Embassy, to ensure sustainability and targeted outreach. The TechConnects component features interactive webchats with U.S. experts, addressing pressing entrepreneurship topics for a global audience.
Applicants can apply for one or both projects but must submit separate proposals for each. The initiative emphasizes the importance of gender equality in science and technology entrepreneurship. Full application details and requirements can be found in the RFA announcement.Apply for OES OTI 14 001
