Questions and Answers Document Opportunity Number: CPIF-GR-ESF-001 Question: Is an 18-month program for the same level of funding and scope of work acceptable?
Answer: Yes, if the objectives can be achieved in this time frame.
Question: Should the proposal contain objectives matching each provided project objective individually in the ‘scope of work’ annex, or is it enough that the proposal addresses all objectives by merging them?
Answer: The proposal can address each proposed objective individually or collectively.
Question: Given the stated goal of ensuring a representative “sub-set of European states,” it seems essential to include a diverse range of geographic, economic, linguistic, and cultural contexts within Europe. Could you clarify the intended geographic scope of this project? Specifically, could you provide a list of regions or countries that are expected to be part of this representative sub-set of European states?
Answer: For the purposes of this project, European states are understood to be those covered by the State Department’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, as defined in 1 FAM 140.
Question: Does the desired project focus include investigation into China's holistic sub-national diplomacy and influence toolkit and impact "on the ground" in select countries -- to include local engagement by Chinese SOEs and private companies, united front actors, officials etc -- or if the objective is a narrower focus on cataloguing and meta-analysis of PRC narratives, media engagement, and other data that could mainly be captured online?
Answer: Both could be included, but the focus should be on real-world engagement over narratives.
