U.S. Jordan Private Sector Innovation Fund APS

The U.S. Jordan Private Sector Innovation Fund, managed by the Department of State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs through the Regional Foreign Assistance Office in Amman, Jordan, is an open competition for organizations to submit statements of interest for funding. The program aims to boost Jordan's economy by catalyzing innovative, commercially viable partnerships and investments between the United States and Jordan. Key objectives include increasing U.S. exports of goods and services, expanding bilateral foreign direct investment, and promoting the adoption of advanced technologies and innovative business models. The total program funding is 50 million dollars, with individual award floors of 2 million dollars and ceilings of 20 million dollars. The application process is conducted in two phases, beginning with a Statement of Interest that must be submitted via MyGrants. While a Unique Entity Identifier and SAM.gov registration are not required for the initial phase, they are mandatory for any applicant moving to the full application phase. Evaluation is based on the project's alignment with foreign policy goals and the viability of the proposed approach, alongside a risk review of the applicant's financial stability and performance history. Recipients must adhere to U.S. Department of State standard terms and conditions, including strict branding requirements, counterterrorism vetting, and compliance with the Leahy Law regarding human rights. All costs for commercial organizations are determined by FAR Part 31.
