Opportunity Information: Apply for EAPBJ 17 GR 001 EAP011317
The grant opportunity titled Cultural Programming in the People's Republic of China is a discretionary U.S. Government funding program run by the U.S. Mission to China, which includes the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and the U.S. Consulates General in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Wuhan. Its central purpose is to support cultural and academic programming that helps people in China better understand the United States, with an emphasis on presenting a fuller picture of American society through its culture, values, policies, and history. The program is rooted in the idea that mutual understanding between populations is a practical foundation for foreign policy, and that public-facing cultural work can reduce misconceptions and expand people-to-people connections even when broader bilateral relations are complex.
At a practical level, the funding is meant for projects that "tell America's story" in China by engaging Chinese audiences directly. The Mission is looking for activities that either build on existing partnerships between U.S. organizations and Chinese counterparts or create new ties that can support sustained exchange. In other words, the program is not just about one-off events; it is also about strengthening networks and collaboration channels that make cultural and academic outreach more durable and wide-reaching. The Embassy in Beijing also signals that it wants programming that reflects the depth and breadth of the United States, suggesting that proposals should avoid narrow or stereotypical representations and instead convey diverse perspectives and experiences across American life.
The opportunity is categorized under the arts funding activity area (CFDA 19.040) and uses a grant as the funding instrument. Eligible applicants are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions), and individuals. That eligibility scope indicates the Mission is open to proposals from universities, museums, cultural organizations, independent artists or cultural practitioners, and other credible entities capable of delivering public programming and managing grant compliance requirements. Because the opportunity explicitly references partnerships with Chinese counterparts, competitive applications would typically be expected to demonstrate clear local engagement, an ability to reach appropriate audiences, and a plan for delivering programming in ways that work in the Chinese context.
Financially, the award ceiling is listed as $50,000 per award. The source data lists "ExpectedAwards:" without a number provided, so the total number of grants anticipated is not specified in the excerpt. The opportunity was created on January 13, 2017, with an original closing date of February 28, 2017, which frames it as a time-bound call during that period. Even so, the summary goals remain clear: support cultural exchange efforts that broaden outreach, strengthen mutual understanding, and improve overall public knowledge in China about U.S. society and culture.Apply for EAPBJ 17 GR 001 EAP011317
