Opportunity Summary:
The "New Media Exchange" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number S CH500 15 CR141) was offered by the U.S. Mission to China through the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, specifically under Public Affairs Section (PAS) Beijing. It is a discretionary grant in the Education activity category (CFDA 19.040, Public Diplomacy Programs) aimed at creating a targeted exchange program for emerging Chinese bloggers. The core purpose is to bring a group of up-and-coming Chinese online content creators to the United States for an intensive, structured experience focused on learning about U.S. healthcare and education systems, while also gaining some exposure to American online media practices and environments.
The program concept goes beyond formal site visits and professional briefings by requiring meaningful interaction with everyday American life. A key element is exposure to diverse American families who are willing to share their experiences, with the goal of giving participants a broader, more nuanced understanding of the United States as a society. In practice, this implies a blend of professional programming (meetings with relevant organizations, institutions, experts, or media outlets connected to healthcare, education, and digital media) and cultural or community-based engagement that helps participants contextualize what they see within real family and community settings.
The grant recipient would carry the primary responsibility for designing and executing the U.S.-based portion of the exchange. This includes organizing all program elements in the United States, building and managing the schedule, monitoring participant progress during the exchange, and handling travel logistics for participants traveling from China to the United States and back. In other words, the implementing organization would be expected to manage the exchange end-to-end on the U.S. side, ensuring that the itinerary is coherent, the objectives are met, participants are supported throughout, and travel and timing are properly coordinated.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at a total of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and a floor of $20,000, and the embassy anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) IRS status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 5, 2015, with an application deadline of September 8, 2015, and it was archived on October 8, 2015. For access issues or questions at the time, the point of contact listed was William Couch, Assistant Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
