PDS is soliciting Statements of Interest for grants from publishing houses, academic institutions, and nongovernmental organizations to publish books by American authors and/or books reflecting U. S. values, translated into the Kyrgyz language or jointly into Kyrgyz and English languages (side‐by‐side

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 BTP will fund awards on a competitive basis conducted by a panel review.Applicants should pay close attention to the stated goals, priorities, and target audiences when developing their proposals.
Applicants are also encouraged to check the list of previously translated titles and may not propose titles already included in the list attached, unless they propose translation into a new format, such as Kyrgyz Braille.
