Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2017 002
The Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity run through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Mission in Iraq. It is structured as an open competition for a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected organization would not only carry out the project but would also coordinate closely with the Department of State during implementation. The overall aim is to bring American professional expertise directly to Iraqi audiences, using both in-person visits and virtual engagement, in ways that support broader U.S. Mission Iraq public diplomacy goals.
At its core, the program is designed to facilitate sustained, practical exchanges between U.S. experts and Iraqi counterparts. By hosting American speakers and practitioners, the initiative seeks to promote greater understanding of U.S. strategic priorities, policies, and institutions, while also strengthening linkages between U.S. and Iraqi experts and organizations. The emphasis is on meaningful engagement, not one-off talks, so proposals are expected to create well-planned events and interactions that connect visiting professionals with relevant Iraqi audiences and institutions.
The grant expects programming over a 12-month period and calls for a specific volume of engagements: approximately 8 to 10 U.S. speakers traveling to Iraq for in-person events, alongside about 10 to 15 U.S. speakers participating virtually during the same timeframe. The topics for these engagements are intended to be aligned with Mission Iraq goals and can span a variety of subject areas, so long as they advance understanding and professional connections between the two countries. Virtual programming is included as a deliberate component, allowing the program to broaden reach and maintain continuity beyond the limits of travel schedules.
Funding is discretionary and categorized under education activities, with assistance listed under CFDA 19.021. The Department of State anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of up to $350,000, subject to the availability of funds. The opportunity was identified as Funding Opportunity Number DOS BAGHDAD PD 2017 002, created on January 10, 2017, with an original application deadline of February 28, 2017.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. In practice, an applicant would be expected to demonstrate the capacity to recruit and prepare U.S. subject-matter experts, design and deliver a coherent yearlong slate of events, manage logistics for travel and programming in Iraq, and run virtual sessions effectively, all while coordinating with PAS Baghdad as part of the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2017 002
