The Public Diplomacy section at U.S. Embassy Norway is pleased to announce that funding is available through its Annual Program Statement Small Grants Program. This Notice of Funding Opportunity outlines our funding priorities, the strategic themes we focus on, and the procedures for submitting requests for funding. Please carefully follow all instructions below. All programs must include an American element. Examples of American elements include, but are not limited to, connections with American expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. The program should have a public outreach component that specifically engages audiences in Norway. We accept grant proposals on a rolling basis until the submission deadline. Proposals that seek to advance the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and Norway in the following areas will be prioritized: ·        Highlight the importance of the strong security and defense relationship between the U.S. and Norway ·        Promote awareness of, and interest in, benefits of the economic relationship between the U.S. and Norway ·        Share best practices in research security and academic integrity. ·        Expand bilateral ties based on shared Norwegian and American values ·        Capitalize on interest in the history and legacy of Norwegian emigration to the United States during the bicentennial commemorations in 2025 to underscore connections between contemporary Norway and the U.S.
