This grant opportunity, administered by the Public Diplomacy section of the U.S. Embassy in Norway, funds small-scale projects that strengthen the bilateral relationship between the United States and Norway.

- Promote the economic relationship between the two countries
- Share best practices in research security and academic integrity
- Expand bilateral ties based on shared values
- Capitalize on the history and legacy of Norwegian emigration to the U.S., especially during the 2025 bicentennial commemorations
Projects outside Oslo and those from alumni of State Department exchange programs are especially encouraged.
