Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2023 0012
The Visiting American Professionals Program for Iraq is a U.S. Department of State (U.S. Embassy Baghdad, Public Diplomacy Section) funding opportunity designed to bring U.S. subject-matter experts into direct engagement with Iraqi audiences over a 12-month period. The core purpose is public diplomacy: helping Iraqi participants better understand U.S. strategic priorities, policies, and institutions, while also building practical, durable linkages between American and Iraqi professionals and the institutions they represent. The program is meant to be flexible in delivery, combining in-person engagements in Iraq with a larger set of virtual engagements, so that programming can continue even if security conditions limit travel.
The selected organization will be responsible for recruiting and programming U.S. experts (U.S. citizens only) to interact with Iraqi counterparts through activities such as lectures, workshops, seminars, media appearances with foreign outlets, and short-term consultancy-style engagements. The Embassy indicates that topics will be driven by U.S. Mission Iraq priorities, meaning the implementer should be prepared to coordinate closely with the Public Diplomacy Section to match speakers, formats, and audiences to mission-defined themes and current needs. While speakers may come from a wide range of professional disciplines and can be placed with diverse Iraqi professional audiences and institutions, the solicitation is explicit about boundaries: the program cannot include English language teaching, cannot recruit performing artists for performances or exhibitions, and cannot place speakers to teach university courses. Performing artists are only allowable if they are participating as speakers or consultants rather than as performers.
In terms of scale and structure, applicants are asked to propose programming that includes approximately 2 to 3 in-person visiting speakers traveling to Iraq, plus about 20 to 24 virtual speakers over the project year, with the exact balance dependent on the operating and security environment. This points to a model where a small number of higher-touch, on-the-ground visits are complemented by a steady cadence of online sessions to maintain continuity, broaden geographic reach inside Iraq, and keep costs manageable while still delivering consistent engagement.
The opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the U.S. government partner during implementation (for example, coordination on speaker selection, themes, key audiences, scheduling, and messaging alignment). The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the CFDA/assistance listing number provided is 19.021. The award ceiling is $500,000, with an expectation of one award, meaning this is intended to fund a single lead implementer to run the full program.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding opportunity was created June 22, 2023, and the original closing date was August 18, 2023. The sponsoring agency is the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Iraq, and the funding opportunity number is DOS BAGHDAD PD 2023 0012.
The program’s thematic direction is framed around Mission Iraq priority goals, including fostering stability and economic growth, bolstering democracy and governance, and ensuring Iraq’s sovereignty and security. In practice, proposals would be expected to show how the speaker series and associated engagements will support these goals by selecting credible U.S. experts, designing formats that encourage real exchange (not just one-way presentations), and connecting those engagements to Iraqi institutions and professional communities that can carry the relationships forward after the grant period ends.Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2023 0012
