Opportunity Information: Apply for MEDIA FY21 01
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Armenia (U.S. Embassy Yerevan), announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Promoting media literacy and critical thinking in Armenia" (Funding Opportunity Number: MEDIA FY21 01). The program is designed to raise media and information literacy and strengthen critical thinking skills in Armenia, with the larger purpose of improving public resilience to disinformation and other malign influence efforts. In practical terms, the Embassy is seeking proposals that can help people better assess information quality, recognize manipulation, and make more informed judgments about what they see and share through news and digital channels.
This opportunity is offered as either a Grant or a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the selected project may involve typical grant-funded implementation or potentially closer coordination with the Embassy, depending on the final award structure and program needs. The activity category is listed as "Other," and it falls under CFDA number 19.900, which is commonly associated with public diplomacy and related State Department programming. The announcement anticipates making one award, with a maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $100,000, so proposals are expected to be focused and realistic in scope, with clear objectives and measurable outcomes that can be achieved within that budget level.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the official instructions linked by the Embassy. Applicants are required to submit applications in English and to follow the program instructions exactly as laid out in the funding announcement materials. The funding opportunity was created on June 25, 2021, and the original application deadline (closing date) is August 6, 2021. Full application details and official guidance were provided by the Embassy through the referenced link: https://www.usa.am/announce/grants.zip.Apply for MEDIA FY21 01
