Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 023 02282022
The U.S. Department of State, through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) at the U.S. Mission to Pakistan, offered a competitive public diplomacy grant opportunity titled Developing the Next Generation of Female Environmentalists (Funding Opportunity Number: SCAISB 22 AW 023 02282022). The program is designed to support a structured partnership between universities in the United States and Pakistan, with the central goal of strengthening Pakistan's capacity to respond to climate challenges while also improving gender parity for women in environmental science fields. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help build a long-term academic and professional pipeline for Pakistani women to study, work, and lead in environmental sciences and climate-related disciplines.
The core concept is a university-to-university collaboration that goes beyond a one-time event. Proposed activities are expected to include curriculum development (for example, modernizing or creating courses tied to climate adaptation, climate mitigation, and environmental management), collaborative research between U.S. and Pakistani faculty and students, and a strong emphasis on knowledge-sharing through virtual exchange formats. The partnership model also highlights sharing academic resources, supporting professional development for participants, and organizing exchanges, which could include academic visits, training opportunities, and other forms of institutional cooperation that deepen capacity over time.
The award mechanism listed is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funding agency expects to remain actively involved in the project during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity falls under the Public Diplomacy Grants Program and is categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding activity category listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice). The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.501, aligning it with Department of State public diplomacy programming.
In terms of who could apply, eligibility is not open to individuals; instead, the applicant and any proposed sub-partners needed to be legally recognized non-profit, non-governmental organizations that can meet both U.S. and Pakistan technical and legal requirements for implementing the public diplomacy programming described in the NOFO. While the project focus is explicitly on university partnerships, the notice frames eligibility through the lens of qualifying non-profit and NGO entities capable of developing and running the program, including managing partnerships and compliance requirements.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $500,000. The notice was created on February 28, 2022, and the original application closing date was April 25, 2022. The program was described as contingent on funding availability, meaning the award would ultimately depend on whether the necessary funds were available at the time of selection.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as an institution-building initiative aimed at climate resilience and climate action capacity in Pakistan, with a deliberate gender equity component. It seeks to create sustained academic collaboration between U.S. and Pakistani universities and to translate that collaboration into updated curricula, stronger research networks, professional skill-building, and meaningful exchange opportunities that help more Pakistani women enter and advance in environmental science careers.
