Applicant Questions and Responses

Q1: Please clarify further, for our understanding that women employed with higher educational institutions, for instance, Pakistani universities are eligible to apply for this grant or not.

A1: As noted in the notice of funding opportunity, page 2 "applicants must propose work equal to the planned funding amount in no fewer than two countries in the East Asia

Pacific Region." Pakistan is not in the East Asia Pacific Region and, therefore, activities proposed in Pakistan are not eligible for funding. The current priority countries for this notice of funding opportunity are listed on page 3. Applicants are strongly advised to propose activities in two or more of these priority countries.

Eligible applicants are organizations only, including U.S. or foreign-based non-profit/non-governmental organization or private, public, or state institutions of higher education.
