Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS LONDON PD 2016 03
The U.S. Embassy in London is offering a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DOS LONDON PD 2016 03) to support a journalist reporting tour focused on the U.S. presidential election. The central aim is to improve public understanding in the United Kingdom of how the U.S. political and electoral system works by enabling journalists to report in a more informed, accurate, and contextual way. The program is framed as an exchange-style initiative that ultimately seeks to encourage coverage that is not only factually accurate but also contributes to a more positive and nuanced image of the United States among UK audiences.
At the practical level, applicants are expected to propose and run a structured reporting tour for journalists that includes a clear itinerary and program design. Proposals should lay out which UK cities would be visited and why those locations are strategically important for reaching key communities. The tour is expected to feature elements connected directly to election coverage, including campaign trail-related activities and planned access to relevant events happening during the tour timeframe. In other words, the Embassy is looking for a plan that goes beyond general briefings and instead provides real reporting opportunities, timely programming tied to the election cycle, and credible pathways to access people, places, and events that help journalists explain the election process and its broader political context.
The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Mission to the United Kingdom and falls under an education-oriented funding activity category (CFDA 19.012). The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $90,000. While the notice lists “Expected Awards” without a specified number, the structure suggests a competitive selection process where one or more proposals could be funded depending on the quality of submissions and available resources.
Eligibility is broad and includes a mix of organizational and individual applicants: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status; nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status; individuals; and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). This wide eligibility pool implies the Embassy is open to proposals from universities, media development organizations, civil society groups, independent program designers, and professional entities capable of coordinating journalist travel, programming, and logistics in a way that meets public diplomacy goals.
Key dates provided indicate the opportunity was created on March 1, 2016, with an original application closing date of April 1, 2016. Applicants would be expected to submit a plan that demonstrates they can design and administer the tour effectively, including coherent scheduling, stakeholder coordination, and a strong rationale for how the tour’s activities will translate into better election reporting and greater UK public understanding of U.S. democratic processes.Apply for DOS LONDON PD 2016 03
