Opportunity Information: Apply for PASCNB NOFO FY 19 02
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Australia, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Looking to 2040: Developing Next-Generation Leaders and Policy Thinkers of the U.S.-Australia Partnership in the Indo-Pacific Region" to strengthen long-term support for the U.S.-Australia alliance among younger Australians. The grant is framed around polling that suggests a noticeable drop in enthusiasm and confidence among Australians under 45: only 38 percent consider the alliance "very important," and only 47 percent say democracy is preferable to other forms of government. The core idea behind the program is that if these attitudes persist, it becomes harder to sustain bipartisan public backing for shared strategic goals in the Indo-Pacific over the coming decades.
The Embassy is looking to fund a single program that actively identifies, develops, and equips emerging leaders and policy thinkers who can shape the future of the bilateral relationship and the region's policy environment. The emphasis is not just on general public diplomacy, but on building a pipeline of people likely to influence public debate and policy choices leading up to 2040. The program is meant to deepen participants' understanding of the U.S.-Australia alliance, highlight the common values and democratic principles that link both societies, and reinforce a shared vision for a free, open, secure, and prosperous Indo-Pacific. In practical terms, that means the funded project should cultivate informed voices who can explain why the alliance matters, how democratic institutions underpin stability and prosperity, and how both countries can cooperate to meet Indo-Pacific challenges.
Administratively, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PASCNB NOFO FY 19 02) was issued on August 20, 2019, with an original closing date of September 19, 2019. The maximum award amount was capped at $200,000, and the Embassy anticipated making one award. Funding could be issued either as a grant or as a cooperative agreement, which signals the U.S. government may expect a higher level of coordination or involvement during implementation than a standard grant might require. The activity category is listed as "Other," indicating a flexible program design as long as it meets the stated objectives. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.040, and eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," implying that applicants beyond a narrow set of institution types could potentially apply, depending on the additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice.
Overall, the grant is essentially a targeted investment in leadership development and policy capacity-building designed to counter rising skepticism about the alliance and weakening confidence in democracy among younger Australians. By supporting a structured program for next-generation leaders and policy thinkers, the Embassy aims to build durable, values-based understanding of the alliance and strengthen the long-term foundation for joint U.S.-Australia engagement in the Indo-Pacific.Apply for PASCNB NOFO FY 19 02
