The program aims to support the translation and distribution of American books or books in English that share information on American social, educational, and cultural values in the Kyrgyz language. This initiative serves as a means to connect with Kyrgyz audiences, particularly rural youth, while also promoting the growth of the Kyrgyz language across the country.

Eligible applicants include publishing houses, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations based in the Kyrgyz Republic. The program expects to fund two to three projects with an average award amount ranging from $30,000 to $45,000 per title. The grant covers various aspects such as copyright acquisition, translation, printing, and distribution of the books, along with follow-up programming such as workshops, master classes, website creation, and contests. The minimum print run required is 7,000 copies. The books will be distributed by the grantee, the U.S. Embassy, and other partners to educational institutions, public libraries, and American Spaces throughout the Kyrgyz Republic. The grant application process will be conducted through a competitive basis and applicants are encouraged to align their proposals with the program's goals, priorities, and target audiences. It is important to note that previously translated titles should not be proposed unless they are being translated into a new format, such as Kyrgyz Braille. The closing date for applications is April 30, 2024. For more information and to submit proposals, interested parties can contact the Bishkek PDS Grants Team at BishkekProjectProposals@state.gov.
