Executive Summary 
The U.S. Embassy Abu Dhabi, Public Diplomacy Section, announces an open competition to develop and implement the programmatic elements of a three-day Freedom 250 Great American State Fair. The Fair will showcase authentic American heartland culture, creativity, entrepreneurship, entertainment, culinary traditions, and music through immersive public programming designed for UAE audiences. 

Proposals should showcase American excellence, advance American commercial interests, enhance American brand visibility through public engagement, American vendor participation, strategic partnerships, and cultural programming, and strengthen the U.S.-UAE bilateral relationship. 

If selected, the grantee would deliver a comprehensive American State Fair with multiple touchpoints, including but not limited to interactive gaming attractions, themed parades, entertainment showcases, curated exhibitions, family-centric experiences, and an expansive culinary and retail village concept featuring American food brands and artisan vendors, all of which will collectively create an immersive and authentic American state fair experience. 

The selected grantee will be responsible for the design, curation, and implementation of the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair programming and participant experience. The grantee will be expected to coordinate closely with our UAE Local Partner Entity and their contractors, which will provide venue infrastructure and operational support. (Those services are subject to grantee negotiation with the UAE Local Entity and PDS involvement and may include but are not limited to the following: venue construction and dismantling, staging and physical infrastructure, ticketing operations, site setup and cleanup, utilities, waste management, security plans and coordination, public facilities, and other event logistics.) Accordingly, applicants for this Notice of Funding Opportunity should focus their proposals on programming, participant engagement, U.S. vendor recruitment and management, American cultural and commercial activations, and overall authentic event experience rather than venue operations and infrastructure. A detailed division of responsibilities will be provided to successful applicants and may be further refined in coordination with the Public Diplomacy Section and the UAE Local Entity. 

This initiative directly supports U.S. foreign policy objectives and makes America stronger, safer, and more prosperous by advancing American commercial interests, showcasing U.S. excellence and innovation, positioning American businesses and cultural exports at the center of the UAE’s dynamic cultural and entertainment sector as it reemerges from the regional conflict, and strengthening strategic partnerships with the United Arab Emirates. 

As a Freedom 250 initiative, the Fair will celebrate 250 years of American independence and achievement and will showcase the unique culture and traditions of the American heartland. As a condition of award, the selected grantee will be required to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the UAE Local Entity, the co-host of the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair in Abu Dhabi, immediately after the award is signed with the U.S. Government (PDS UAE). 

The MOU will govern the operational, programmatic, and logistical responsibilities of the grantee in relation to the co-hosted event and will set forth the terms and conditions under which the grantee will collaborate with the UAE Local Entity. The grantee must conduct all activities in accordance with the terms and conditions established, as well as those set forth in the grant agreement with the U.S. Embassy Abu Dhabi's Public Diplomacy Section.

No Applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language 
An eligible institution may not submit more than one application to this program as a lead institution. This includes applications from subordinate units under a parent institution. Additionally, eligible recipients may only receive funds for one award at a time. Prospective applicants are advised to contact their institutional sponsored projects office regarding processes used to select proposals for submission. For RFAP purposes, ‘parent institution’ refers to the single, legally distinct institution of higher education that oversees its colleges, schools, and departments. A separate UEI by itself does not automatically make a campus or unit a different institution. Some campuses, divisions, or administrative units within a university system may maintain their own UEIs for grants management purposes while still operating under the governance, accreditation, and legal identity of a single parent institution. In such cases, the parent institution, not the UEI, is the controlling factor in determining the one application limit. The one application limit applies to all subordinate units under the same institution. However, university systems with multiple independently accredited and governed institutions may submit one application per institution within the system. A multi campus university system may submit more than one application only if each campus is recognized as a distinct institution based on its own independent accreditation, governance structure, and institutional identity. Institutions that have received congressionally directed funding for research facility projects are not excluded from participation in this program. Such institutions may submit applications and compete for additional projects under this competitive funding opportunity. 

Cost Sharing Requirements
Applicants MUST provide at minimum a 1:1 matching contribution on a dollar-for-dollar basis for all Federal funds awarded under the RFAP. The non-Federal share must be paid in cash and may include funding from private sources or from units of State or local government. In-kind matching will not be considered. See 7 U.S.C. 390a(c)(2)(A). The full match amount must be budgeted in the application, with sources of funding clearly disclosed. Recipients may phase matching contributions, potentially synchronized with project construction milestones, or raise additional funds during the project period, provided that the Authorized Representative signs the award, thereby attesting to fulfill all match commitments. Matching costs must be incurred during the federal award period, align with 2 CFR 200.306 requirements (verifiable, allowable, not double counted, and included in the approved budget), and be properly documented and reported cumulatively via the SF425 Federal Financial Reports throughout and at the conclusion of the project Consistent with 48 U.S.C. 1469a, notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the case of American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands, NIFA will waive any requirement for local matching funds under $200,000 (including in-kind contributions).

Executive Summary
The Global Leaders Division in the Office of Citizen Exchanges at the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) seeks proposals for a cooperative agreement to design and implement the FY 2026 Community Solutions Program (CSP). The United States has a strong tradition of hard work, entrepreneurship, and local leadership that has powered economic growth. American communities succeed by building on what they do best — innovating, strengthening key industries, and coordinating business, workforce, and community leadership to deliver results. CSP invests in American and international community leaders interested in learning from proven U.S. approaches to regional economic growth. It will engage leaders, ages 27–39, who will work alongside American partners to understand how regional industry clusters and locally driven strategies expand opportunities that benefit the American people. During a three- to four-month exchange in the United States, approximately 50–60 participants will work directly with American counterparts on real-world economic growth initiatives across key sectors such as: culinary industries/farm-to-table; business and entrepreneurship; hospitality and tourism; technology and innovation, and others as proposed. Placements will demonstrate how U.S. communities organize around regional industry clusters to attract talent, secure investment, grow businesses, and strengthen local economies.

Participants will return home with practical, results-oriented approaches they can apply to support community growth and stability, while opening new markets for Americans. Approximately 20–25 Americans will take part in reciprocal exchanges to advance joint projects, strengthen partnerships, and deliver clear economic benefits to U.S. communities. CSP develops results-oriented leaders who drive results, strengthen alliances and business networks, bolster global stability, and deepen relationships that advance U.S. economic interests and security.

Program Description

The NSF Major Research Instrumentation Grant is awaiting a new solicitation. The old solicitation for the program is linked here. The program page is linked here. Details from the previous solicitation are included below.

The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program (MRI Program Website) serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation's institutions of higher education and not-for-profit scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition of a multi-user research instrument that is commercially available through direct purchase from a vendor, or for the personnel costs and equipment that are required for the development of an instrument with new capabilities, thereby advancing instrumentation capabilities and enhancing expertise for instrument design and fabrication at academic institutions. MRI instruments are, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs.

MRI provides support to acquire critical research instrumentation without which advances in fundamental science and engineering research may not otherwise occur. MRI also provides support to obtain next-generation research instruments by developing instruments with new capabilities that open new opportunities to advance the frontiers in science and engineering research. Additionally, an MRI award is expected to enhance research training of students who will become the next generation of instrument users, designers and builders.

An MRI proposal may request from NSF up to $4 million for either acquisition or development of a research instrument. Each performing organization may submit in revised "Tracks" as defined below, with no more than two (2) submissions in Track 1 and no more than one (1) submission in Track 2. For the newly defined Track 3, no more than one (1) submission per competition is permitted. As a result, it is now possible for an institution to submit up to four MRI proposals within the Track limits as described above.

• Track 1: Track 1 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than $100,0001 and less than $1,400,000.
• Track 2: Track 2 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $1,400,000 up to and including $4,000,000.
• Track 3: Track 3 MRI proposals are those that request funds from NSF greater than or equal to $100,0001 and less than or equal to $4,000,000 that include the purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment and instrumentation to conserve or reduce the consumption of helium. Institutions may submit no more than one Track 3 proposal. Submission of a Track 3 proposal does not impact limits that apply for Track 1 and Track 2 proposals.

Cost sharing requirements for new awards in the MRI Program are waived for a period of 5 years beginning with the FY 2023 MRI competition. Institutional submission limits for Track 1, Track 2 and Track 3 proposals remain.
