Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Speaker and Specialist Program for Brazil is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity run by the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section (PAS) in Brasilia. It supports educational and cultural programming designed to bring American expertise directly to Brazilian audiences. The core idea is to use in-person and media-facing engagement to deepen understanding of U.S. policies, institutions, and strategic priorities, while also building professional and institutional links between the United States and Brazil.
Under this program, a selected implementing organization would help arrange and deliver a series of engagements in Brazil featuring U.S. experts who must be U.S. citizens. These experts are expected to interact with Brazilian institutions and communities through activities such as lectures, workshops, and seminars, and may also participate in interviews or other appearances in Brazilian media. The focus is not simply on one-off presentations, but on structured public diplomacy programming that connects American specialists with Brazilian counterparts and helps create durable networks and collaboration opportunities.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. Embassy is likely to be actively involved in shaping, coordinating, and overseeing elements of program execution rather than providing funding with minimal involvement. The opportunity was listed as discretionary funding under CFDA 19.040, with one expected award and a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $200,000. The funding opportunity number is FA5577945, and it was issued by the Department of State, Mission to Brazil.
Eligibility is aimed at non-governmental organizations and other legally recognized nonprofit institutions that can meet U.S. requirements, and for Brazilian organizations, applicable Brazilian technical and legal requirements as well. In practical terms, applicants would be expected to demonstrate the capacity to design, coordinate, and implement speaker-based programming, including logistical support, partnership development with Brazilian institutions, event organization, and coordination with U.S. experts and embassy stakeholders.
Key program outcomes include increased Brazilian understanding of U.S. government and society as framed by U.S. strategic priorities and policy goals, expanded engagement between U.S. and Brazilian experts, and stronger institutional relationships that can continue beyond individual events. Additional context about the Embassy Public Affairs Section is available through the U.S. Embassy website in Brazil at http://br.usembassy.gov/.
