- Align your project clearly with one or more of the four priority areas: culture, technology, economic prosperity, or security.

⚠️ Common mistakes
Failing to include or adequately feature American partners or cultural elements weakens competitiveness. Vague connections to foreign policy priorities or unclear bilateral benefit reduce funding chances. Overestimating project scope relative to $5,000-$24,000 budget limits leads to unrealistic proposals.
