- Program Information
- Proposal Deadline:
March 1, 2013
- Program Description
The Foundation’s Institutional Grants program has as its goal the creation of effective policy changes to improve the lives of Latin Americans.
The Foundation has identified five program areas in which focused, expert research and innovation has the potential to make significant positive impact. Proposals should address one of these areas of interest:
- Democratic Governance
- Education
- Sustainable Resource Management
- U.S. Policy toward Latin America*
- Antarctica Science and Policy*
Projects should have a strong public policy component, offer innovative solutions to problems facing these regions, and incorporate new mechanisms for addressing these programmatic areas. Activities may include, but are not restricted to, research projects, workshops and conferences related to the Foundation's areas of interest. The Foundation encourages collaboration among organizations in the United States and Latin America and prefers to fund those institutions that are actively engaged with external stakeholders in addressing an issue of concern. Funding for general support may be considered on a limited basis.
