About this file
This file is a proposal application template for individual applicants seeking funding under the StartUP Lab: U.S.-Albania Economic Leadership & Innovation Exchange program, administered by the Department of State US Embassy Tirana under the ECA – American Spaces federal grant program (CFDA 19.441). The template requires applicants to complete a three-page submission containing applicant information, proposed project overview, detailed project description, and budget information. The project description section mandates applicants to articulate project goals and objectives, justify why the target audience is important, provide a work plan with implementation steps, and specify expected outcomes. Applicants must also certify that their proposed project complies with three specified Executive Orders: Executive Order 14287 (Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens), Executive Order 14173 (Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity), and Executive Order 14168 (Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government).
The template offers two budget submission options: a fixed budget structure for projects with predetermined expense categories including travel, lodging, program materials, meals and incidental expenses, honoraria or stipends, and other costs; or a non-fixed budget structure for projects requiring personnel costs, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, supplies, contractual services, and other direct costs. Under the non-fixed budget option, only the award recipient may receive salary or honoraria, and the recipient must serve as the primary point of contact managing all programmatic activities. Applicants must provide budget narratives explaining each line item and cannot claim indirect costs if applying as an individual. Incomplete submissions will not be reviewed.
