Opportunity Information: Apply for SVM700 19 PAS 006
The U.S. Mission to Vietnam, through the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a Technology Club designed to expand high-quality STEM learning experiences for patrons of the American Center. The award will be made as either a Grant or a Cooperative Agreement, and the intent is to create hands-on opportunities for participants to learn and engage with new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics programming using the resources available at the American Center.
Projects funded under this opportunity must be implemented on-site during the American Center's standard operating hours, specifically 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Proposals are expected to clearly define the intended skill level of the club programming, separating activities into one of three tiers: programs for beginners with little to no coding experience, programs aimed at participants with medium STEM knowledge, or programs designed for advanced STEM professionals. The Consulate is prioritizing proposals that align with the STEM program priorities and target audiences identified in the full notice, and those proposals are more likely to be competitive for funding.
Participant eligibility is also a key constraint. The Consulate will not fund proposals that serve students under the age of 15, so applicants must design recruitment and participation plans that exclude younger students and clearly reflect this requirement. Applicants are also directed to consult the NOFO for the list of technology already available at the American Center. If a proposed club requires additional equipment or technology beyond what the Center has on hand, the applicant must specify those needs in the proposal. Any technology purchased with grant funds will remain with the American Center after the project ends, meaning equipment purchases are treated as Center assets rather than property of the implementing organization.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $15,000, with an expectation of making one award. While the notice emphasizes a typical threshold of $10,000, it also states that proposals requesting more than $10,000 may be considered when the additional amount is specifically justified by technology-related costs. This effectively signals that program budgets should stay lean unless there is a clear, itemized need for equipment that supports the club activities and will remain at the American Center for continued use.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Vietnam. The funding opportunity number is SVM700 19 PAS 006, and it is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development (CFDA 19.441). The original posting date was November 23, 2018, and the application deadline was March 31, 2019 (Vietnam time, 11:59 p.m.). Eligible applicants are broadly described as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the NOFO's additional eligibility information, so applicants would need to verify their organizational fit against the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement.
In practical terms, a strong proposal under this NOFO would describe a structured Technology Club series held during weekday daytime hours, define a clear participant level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), align activities with the notice's STEM priorities and intended audiences, ensure all participants are age 15 or older, and present a realistic budget that leverages existing American Center technology while carefully justifying any additional equipment requests (noting that any purchased items stay with the Center).Apply for SVM700 19 PAS 006
