Opportunity Information: Apply for OFOP0003762
The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Public Diplomacy Section is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement to support the implementation of four Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) Classic workshops in Taiwan during calendar year 2027. The GCTF is described as a capacity-building platform that convenes government officials, industry experts, academics, and civil society representatives to share practical experience and deepen professional cooperation on emerging regional and global challenges. Rather than being a single-topic event, the program is structured as a set of four workshops, with themes to be jointly determined by GCTF partners. Anticipated topic areas include resilience, emerging technologies, economic security, trusted supply chains, democratic governance, and other shared priorities that the partners identify as timely.
The organization selected under this award will act as the primary implementation partner, meaning it will be responsible for the full range of operational and administrative tasks needed to deliver the workshops successfully. This includes coordinating venues, managing participant registration, arranging and supporting international travel, providing interpretation services, handling audiovisual needs, producing and distributing workshop materials, coordinating vendors, and organizing any associated site visits. The recipient is also expected to handle monitoring and evaluation and to complete all required grant reporting. In other words, AIT and the GCTF partners will guide the policy direction and provide strategic and substantive oversight, while the awardee ensures the events run smoothly end-to-end and that deliverables, documentation, and reporting requirements are met.
Logistically, most workshops are expected to be held in Taipei, with one workshop anticipated to take place in southern Taiwan. The overall intent of the project is to strengthen international cooperation and policy dialogue, build capacity among participating sectors, improve continuity and coherence across GCTF programming, and create practical exchanges that connect government, industry, academia, and civil society in a sustained way across multiple events in 2027.
Key opportunity details from the notice include the funding opportunity title "Implementation of Four GCTF Classic Workshops in 2027" (Funding Opportunity Number OFOP0003762). The instrument is a cooperative agreement, reflecting an expectation of close collaboration between the recipient and AIT/GCTF partners. The assistance listing is CFDA 19.124.
