Pending availability of funds, it is anticipated that approximately $5,600,000 or more will be available to support this competition.

Projects should promote mutual understanding and partnerships between key professional and cultural groups in the United States and counterpart groups in other countries through multi-phased exchanges taking place over one to two years. Proposals should encourage citizen engagement in current issues and promote the development of democratic societies and institutions, with a view toward creating a more stable world.
All programs should be two-way exchanges and involve participants from the U.S. and foreign countries.
