Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS JOR FY22 003
The Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund 2022 (AEIF 2022) is a competitive grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. Mission to Jordan. It is designed specifically for alumni of U.S. government-funded or U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs, giving past exchange participants a chance to build on the skills, networks, and experience they gained during their programs. The intent is practical and community-focused: alumni teams propose and run public service projects that address real challenges in Jordan through innovative, locally grounded solutions.
AEIF has been running globally since 2011 and, according to the announcement, has supported nearly 500 alumni-led projects worldwide. For the 2022 cycle in Jordan, the embassy is prioritizing projects that align with U.S. commitments around health and environmental protection, with particular attention to underserved communities. The call emphasizes healthcare advocacy and awareness for underprivileged groups, expanded mental health services and awareness for women and youth, and environmental efforts that improve living conditions and community well-being.
Projects must be proposed and managed by teams of at least two alumni, meaning individual alumni are eligible applicants, but they need to apply as a small team rather than as a single person acting alone. The embassy is looking for proposals that fit one or more of these themes: promoting mental health awareness and services for women and youth; increasing access to healthcare services for vulnerable and underserved populations; reducing substance abuse and drug use, including efforts tied to rehabilitation; launching anti-littering campaigns that aim to shift public behavior and community culture; and implementing greening initiatives that reduce environmental burdens on underprivileged communities. In practice, this could include community outreach and education, service navigation and referral efforts, local campaigns, pilot interventions, or collaborative initiatives that demonstrate measurable community impact.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: PAS JOR FY22 003) under CFDA 19.022, categorized under environment and health. The award ceiling is listed as $40,000, and the embassy expected to make about two awards. Applications were to be submitted by email to AmmanGrants@state.gov, with a deadline of May 6, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. EET (Amman time). The overall message of the opportunity is that the embassy wants exchange alumni to take leadership roles in community problem-solving, using small-scale grant funding to test and deliver tangible improvements in public health, mental health awareness and access, substance use prevention and rehabilitation support, and environmental cleanliness and greening in Jordan.Apply for PAS JOR FY22 003
