Description
The U.S. Mission to Brazil is seeking proposals from alumni of U.S. government-funded and sponsored exchange programs for the Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) 2026 - Brazil. The fund aims to support innovative solutions to global challenges within communities. Proposals must include at least two exchange alumni and specify a team lead. The project must celebrate and promote the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. Key objectives include convening alumni from different exchange programs, strengthening the relationship between alumni and the U.S. government, and supporting alumni in developing their leadership capacity.
Some key points to consider:
• The proposal must be submitted by exchange alumni or alumni associations of USG exchange alumni.
• The project must include at least two U.S. government-sponsored exchange alumni and need to specify a team lead.
• The proposal must clearly indicate the role of the team member within the project and the percentage of time the team member will spend developing and/or implementing the project.
• The project must align with relevant executive orders and administration policy goals.
