Opportunity Information: Apply for PAUPDFY20006
The Sustainable U.S. and Palestinian Higher Education Partnerships opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAUPDFY20006) is a discretionary grant competition run by the Public Diplomacy Section of the Palestinian Affairs Unit (PAU-PD) under the U.S. Department of State, administered through the U.S. Mission to Jerusalem. It was created on June 26, 2020, with an original application deadline of August 10, 2020. The program sits in the education category (CFDA 19.021) and uses a standard grant instrument, with an award ceiling of $200,000. While the notice references expected awards, it does not specify a number in the provided source data.
At its core, the grant is designed to fund jointly developed and jointly implemented partnerships between U.S. and Palestinian higher education actors. The intent is not simply to run a short-term exchange, but to build sustainable institutional relationships that help participating institutions "internationalize" in practical ways and better prepare students to function as globally capable, civically engaged graduates. In plain terms, the program is looking for projects that connect universities and education-focused organizations across the U.S. and the فلسطينية context in ways that strengthen academic programs, professional networks, and cross-cultural understanding, while producing lasting structures or practices that remain after the grant ends.
The opportunity is also explicitly tied to the PAU-PD public diplomacy mission. That mission is framed around advancing peace and supporting the development of a prosperous, stable, and transparent Palestinian society, economy, and system of governance. The mechanism for doing so, as described in the notice, is substantive engagement with American people, institutions, ideas, and ideals. In that sense, projects are expected to do more than deliver technical educational outputs; they should also contribute to stronger American-Palestinian relationships and create conditions for mutually beneficial cooperation. The notice further emphasizes alignment with an objective of supporting elements of Palestinian civil society that are working to strengthen their communities in line with American values, meaning proposals should be able to clearly explain how their activities reinforce community resilience, constructive civic participation, institutional integrity, and other governance-adjacent outcomes through education and partnerships.
Eligible primary applicants are limited to not-for-profit entities on either side of the partnership. Specifically, the lead applicant may be a U.S. not-for-profit higher education institution, a U.S. not-for-profit organization that develops and manages higher education programs, and/or a Palestinian not-for-profit university. The way the eligibility language is written signals that the funder expects real joint design and implementation, so competitive proposals would typically show meaningful shared roles across partners rather than a one-sided arrangement where one institution simply hosts or subcontracts the other.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a public-diplomacy-driven higher education partnership program: it funds collaborative U.S.-Palestinian projects that strengthen institutional internationalization and student global readiness while also advancing PAU-PD goals related to peacebuilding, societal development, and improved American-Palestinian relations through sustained engagement and community-strengthening impacts.Apply for PAUPDFY20006
