Executive Summary
The EnglishxSTEM initiative advances U.S. economic and technological interests by partnering with Dominican public and private sector stakeholders to deliver high-impact English for Specific Purposes (ESP) training in strategically relevant productive sectors. Implemented through collaboration with universities, INFOTEP, AIRD, CONEP, the National English Working Group, and other institutions, the initiative will strengthen workforce readiness and support U.S.-Dominican collaboration in STEM, semiconductors, cybersecurity, biotechnology, energy, artificial intelligence, and research and innovation. Over a three-year period, the proposed $100, 000 program will design and implement at least five ESP programs reaching approximately 500–800 Dominican students, faculty, and professionals nationwide. Participants will develop technical English skills aligned with U.S. industry standards, including professional communication, compliance and safety terminology, project coordination, and participation in innovation ecosystems. The initiative should also include some aspect of U.S.-based professional exchanges and faculty training opportunities, while leveraging burden-sharing contributions from Dominican partners to ensure sustainability, institutional collaboration, and long-term impact. The selected implementing partner will coordinate logistics, partnerships, curriculum development, and monitoring activities aligned with U.S. Public Diplomacy priorities.

Summary 

This NOFO’s aim is to improve awareness and knowledge of alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) in the United States. AGS is an emerging condition and is not nationally notifiable. This will happen through:

• The creation of a professional network of AGS researchers and public health professionals.
• Improved surveillance.
• Improved communications materials.

This NOFO seeks to improve:

• AGS surveillance.
• Patient care.
• Awareness and understanding.
   

The NOFO’s three main strategies are to:

• Share: Disseminate the latest knowledge about AGS among stakeholders to improve patient care for AGS and the public health response.
  • This includes public health agencies, academic researchers, and
    advocacy groups.
• Track: Conduct active or enhanced surveillance for AGS.
  • This strategy could involve patient populations or geographic locations with limited access to specialized healthcare provider care.
• Educate: Create AGS communications targeted at the general public, AGS patients, and/or people at higher risk for tick encounters (outdoor enthusiasts, dog owners, etc.).
  • Communications targeted at healthcare providers, healthcare provider educational resources, and training would also fall under this strategy.
