Medical Emergency Grant – Cycle 38

Grants typically range from $500 to $3,000 (average $2,200), and applicants may receive partial rather than full funding. Competition is consistent and ongoing since this is a year-round program.

The program is explicitly designed for urgency — your application should make unmistakably clear why there is insufficient time to seek other funding. FCA also has dedicated support specifically for travel-related cultural exchange expenses between the US and a specific list of Eastern European, Central Asian, and East Asian countries, which may strengthen an application involving international travel.
