Opportunity Information: Apply for PDS PRISTINA FY24 03
Engaging U.S. Experts in Kosovo is a U.S. Embassy Pristina grant opportunity designed to help Kosovo-based organizations bring U.S. experts and professionals to Kosovo (either in person, virtually, or through a mix of both) to support non-formal education and cultural programming. The central idea is to expand the exchange of ideas, information, and best practices between the United States and Kosovo by creating practical, audience-focused engagements where American experts share perspectives and experience with Kosovan participants.
The program goal is tied to Kosovo's social and human capital development, with an emphasis on helping local organizations design and deliver non-formal educational and cultural activities that reach youth, emerging leaders, and established opinion makers. The embassy is looking for proposals that do more than host a single talk; while one-time events like conferences can be supported, the opportunity highlights that the strongest impact typically comes from a series of engagements over a longer period, such as repeated workshops, coaching sessions, public discussions, and follow-on activities that help participants apply what they learned in their communities.
Applicants are encouraged to build proposals around several priority themes. These include non-formal educational and cultural activities (with explicit mention of music and the arts), skills-building opportunities for youth from underserved communities (using the definition tied to the U.S. Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Underserved Communities), and initiatives that strengthen trust-building and interethnic collaboration among communities in Kosovo. In practice, competitive projects are likely to show clear community benefit, thoughtful inclusion of underserved groups, and a realistic plan for how the expert's contribution will translate into lasting skills, relationships, or institutional capacity.
Supported activities can take many forms, including lectures, workshops, conferences, seminars, media appearances, and consultancy services, delivered through formal or non-formal settings. At the same time, the program draws a clear boundary: it is not meant to fund teaching full university courses or running research programs. The emphasis is on engagement and knowledge-sharing that is accessible to wider audiences and connected to real-world application, rather than academic instruction or research outputs.
The opportunity allows three delivery models. Traveling programs bring a U.S.-based expert to Kosovo for in-person activities such as workshops, consulting, or jointly developing programming with the host organization. Virtual programs connect U.S. experts with Kosovan audiences in real time via online platforms, and can be structured as one-to-one sessions, multi-site sessions, or hybrids depending on where participants are located; proposals should account for time zone differences when planning these sessions. Blended programs combine travel with virtual components, allowing organizers to extend the expert's reach and sustain engagement before or after an in-country visit.
Eligibility is limited to Kosovo-based applicants, specifically not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations) and public or private educational institutions that are registered in Kosovo. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Mission to Kosovo under CFDA 19.900. The opportunity number is PDS PRISTINA FY24 03, with an original closing date of March 31, 2024. The grant ceiling is $30,000 per award, with an expected total of four awards. The opportunity was created on February 15, 2024.
