Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Consulate General in Hyderabad (Public Affairs Section) is offering a discretionary grant to support the design and delivery of a multi-day professional workshop focused on improving how Indian journalists cover foreign affairs for local audiences. The core purpose is capacity building: helping both practicing reporters and emerging journalists (including senior journalism students) strengthen their skills in accurate, contextual, and responsible reporting on international issues that increasingly affect domestic news coverage. The program is framed as a public diplomacy and professional development effort under CFDA 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs), with an emphasis on practical techniques and real-world approaches used by U.S. journalists when reporting on global events.
The proposed workshop is expected to familiarize participants with U.S.-style methods for covering foreign affairs topics, including international economics, climate change, reporting in and around war zones or conflict settings, and covering international organizations. The opportunity indicates a mix of working journalists and rising talent, which suggests proposals should be designed to work for participants with different experience levels while still staying grounded in newsroom realities. While the notice refers to attachments for additional detail, the stated intent clearly points toward a hands-on training model that builds awareness, strengthens reporting tools, and improves the accuracy and depth of foreign affairs coverage in Indian media.
Funding is anticipated for one award, with a total project budget expected to fall between USD 30,000 (award floor) and USD 60,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of eligibility. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as education, with a specific explanation that it is a professional development opportunity for journalists and journalism students.
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based and other qualifying nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without, as long as they are not institutions of higher education) as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The issuing agency is the U.S. Mission to India. The opportunity was posted January 17, 2014, created February 12, 2014, and the application deadline was extended from February 17, 2014 to March 17, 2014 due to technical difficulties accessing the grant package. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is April Wells, Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Consulate in Hyderabad (phone: +91 40 4033 8300).
