Opportunity Information: Apply for STATE BISHKEK PAS 20 0004
The FY 2020 Book Translation Program Call for Proposals is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic. The program is designed to support the publication of books in the Kyrgyz Republic that are either written by American authors and/or that reflect U.S. values. A central goal is to expand access to these works by funding high-quality translations into the Kyrgyz language, or in some cases joint Kyrgyz and English editions, and then ensuring the books are widely distributed to institutions and communities across the country.
Eligible applicants include publishing houses, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations that are registered in the Kyrgyz Republic. Through this program, PAS will consider proposals that cover the full publishing pipeline needed to bring a translated title to readers. Allowable supported costs include acquiring copyrights when needed, paying for translation, printing, and distribution, and carrying out follow-up programming connected to the book after publication. The opportunity sets a minimum print run requirement of 3,000 copies per funded title, signaling that projects should be structured for broad reach rather than limited or niche circulation.
Distribution is a required and coordinated component of the project. Books produced under the grant will be distributed not only by the grantee but also with support from the U.S. Embassy and its partners. Target recipients include educational institutions, public libraries, and American Spaces throughout the Kyrgyz Republic, which helps ensure the translated materials reach students, educators, and the general public in multiple regions and settings.
PAS anticipates making approximately three to four awards, depending on available funds. The average award size is described as about $20,000 per title, with an award ceiling of $20,000. Proposals are evaluated competitively, and selections are made through a panel review process. The funding opportunity is identified as STATE BISHKEK PAS 20 0004 under CFDA 19.900, was created on April 3, 2020, and had an original closing date of June 1, 2020.Apply for STATE BISHKEK PAS 20 0004
