The Embassy encourages the submission of unique and creative proposals from a wide variety of sources. All programs must include a link to the United States and/or an element that builds understanding of the United States including, but not limited to U.S. policy, people, culture and/or perspectives. Programs must be focused on Swedish or regional audiences/participants.

Goals and Objectives
Embassy Stockholm’s public diplomacy programs are directly tied to our Mission goals and support our joint efforts to address today’s most pressing challenges. 

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund aims to stimulate the growth of new connections between thinkers working in largely disconnected fields who might together change the course of climate change’s impact on human health. In the three years between Fall 2023 and Summer 2026, we will dedicate $1M to supporting small, early stage grants of $2,500–$50,000 toward achieving this goal.

The Caplan Foundation for Early Childhood is an incubator of promising research and development projects that appear likely to improve the welfare of young children, from infancy through 7 years, in the United States.

Welfare is broadly defined to support, acculturation, societal integration and childcare. Grants are only made if a successful project outcome will likely be of significant interest to other professionals, within the grantee’s field of endeavor, and would have a direct benefit and potential national application.

Education has its share of myths: beliefs that there was a golden age of student behavior or academic rigor, the story of the little red schoolhouse or how summer vacation has its roots in the agrarian calendar. The problem with myths is that they tend to crumble upon further scrutiny.
