Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 008 12282021
Project TRANScend - Socioeconomic Inclusion of Transgender Community is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity administered by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Mission to Pakistan. It is designed as a public diplomacy-focused program that supports transgender Pakistanis, specifically participants ages 18 to 40, by linking them with American experts. The core idea is to pair practical, career-oriented training with exposure to proven approaches that help transgender communities participate more fully in society, with an emphasis on real-world outcomes rather than awareness alone.
The opportunity seeks proposals that accomplish two connected goals. First, it aims to build vocational skills and job-relevant knowledge so participants can improve their economic prospects, which could include employability, entrepreneurship, or other marketable skill development depending on the project design. Second, it focuses on sharing best practices for broader social inclusion of transgender people, meaning participants should gain tools, strategies, and models that have been used successfully in other contexts (in this case, with support from American specialists) to reduce barriers and strengthen participation in community, workplace, and civic life.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the U.S. government expects a higher level of involvement during implementation than with a standard grant (for example, coordination on program direction, deliverables, or public diplomacy alignment). The award ceiling is USD 150,000, and the program anticipated making up to two awards under this competition, depending on funding availability. The program falls under CFDA 19.501, and the activity category is listed as "Other," implying the project may combine elements such as training, exchanges, mentorship, and community engagement rather than fitting into a single standard category.
Eligible implementers are expected to be legally recognized non-profit, non-governmental organizations that can meet both U.S. and Pakistani technical and legal requirements for carrying out public diplomacy programs. In practical terms, this means the selected organization must be able to responsibly manage U.S. government funds, comply with relevant regulations, and demonstrate the capacity to design and deliver a credible program that safely and effectively serves transgender participants. Additional details on eligibility are referenced in the full notice (Section C), and applicants are directed to the U.S. Embassy Pakistan website for broader PAS context.
Administratively, the opportunity was published on December 28, 2021, with an original closing date of February 28, 2022. The funding opportunity number is SCAISB 22 AW 008 12282021, and it is categorized as a discretionary opportunity under the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Pakistan. The notice also makes clear that any eventual award is contingent on the availability of funds, which is standard language indicating that even strong proposals may depend on final budget allocations.Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 008 12282021
