The Public Diplomacy Sections of the U.S. Consulates General Tijuana, Nogales, and Hermosillo announce an open competition for programs that strengthen workforce readiness, promote safe border communities, and support a transparent and innovative information ecosystem in northwest Mexico. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks merit-based proposals that equip Mexican educators, youth, and media professionals with practical skills needed to succeed in a dynamic, binational environment. Through U.S. Federal assistance for programs and projects that support economic development and internal and external security, this NOFO promotes the foreign policy, better understanding, and general welfare of the United States. Implementers are required to inform, emphasize, and be sure participants are aware of the funding source and these purposes during implementation. Competitive proposals must address one of four objectives: (1) improve English language teaching capacity to better prepare students for participation in the binational economy; (2) advance STEM education through innovative, hands-on training that leverages U.S. technology, expertise, and institutional partnerships; (3) promote youth development and safer communities through sports diplomacy programs that build leadership, teamwork, and drug-free lifestyles; or (4) strengthen journalists' capacity to responsibly use artificial intelligence and digital tools to enhance reporting, promote accountability, and counter false narratives.Successful proposals will demonstrate practical skills-building, strong partnerships with U.S. institutions, measurable outputs and outcomes, and sustainability plans. Programs should reach participants based on merit and reinforce U.S. interests in security, prosperity, and accurate information flow.

The Energy Department's first Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR Phase I solicitation offers roughly 40 awards of up to $250,000 against $10 million — but you cannot submit a full application anymore. A four-question, 700-word pitch now decides who gets to apply, there is no Direct to Phase II path for new entrants, and the $147.4 million Phase II pool is closed to everyone who has never won a DOE award.

Phase I grants run $500,000 to $750,000 over 9 months; Phase II awards reach $6 million to $15 million over 3 years, with one $60 million flagship.
