The related federal grant opportunity is administered by the Department of State's Public Diplomacy Programs (CFDA 19.040) and seeks proposals that strengthen cultural, educational, professional, and scientific ties between the United States and Oman. Grant priority areas include Cultural and Artistic Exchange, English Language and Education, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development, and STEM and Innovation. All proposed programs must incorporate an American cultural element or connection with U.S. experts, organizations, or institutions. The grant aims to promote bilateral cooperation, shared values, and people-to-people ties through collaborative initiatives that highlight mutual understanding and U.S. perspectives.
