About this file

This document provides budget category descriptions to guide federal grant recipients on allocating costs to appropriate budget lines. It also details a Notice of Funding Opportunity from the U.S. Department of State to implement Lincoln Corner Pop-Ups at universities across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in Pakistan. The initiative seeks to expand the outreach of Consulate Peshawar's two existing Lincoln Corners by introducing a mobile program to promote American values, foster academic exchange, and encourage community building. The Pop-Ups will provide similar resources as permanent Lincoln Corners, allowing students and faculty access to U.S. learning technologies and interaction with exchange alumni. If selected, the grantee will receive funding through the Public Diplomacy Grants Program assigned under the Public Diplomacy Programs for Afghanistan and Pakistan CFDA number 19.501, which supports critical skills development and other public diplomacy initiatives in the region administered through the U.S. Department of State.
