Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS LIMA FY21 NOFO 001

The U.S. Department of State, through the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Lima, offered a discretionary grant opportunity to support the creation of a Network of Women in Archaeology focused on Peru. The central purpose of the project is to bring together women working in archaeology, strengthen their professional connections, and directly address gender-based barriers that can limit career advancement and participation in cultural heritage protection. The network is intended to amplify women archaeologists voices, highlight the achievements of both established and early-career professionals, and share information about training, research, and professional opportunities linked to Peru in both Peru and the United States.

The opportunity asks applicants such as archaeologists and relevant cultural or educational institutions to propose a concrete, workable plan to build and operate the network. A key expectation is that the network will function as both a professional support structure and a communications platform, using social media as an ongoing hub while also incorporating virtual and, when feasible, in-person programming. In practice, the network is meant to become a visible community where members can communicate regularly, exchange ideas, share research and fieldwork experiences, and build relationships that translate into stronger collaboration and leadership.

The required activities are specific and operational. The selected grantee would need to build a sizable database of women working in archaeology in Peru to serve as a shared resource for members. The network design must intentionally include women archaeologists in Peru and in the United States, particularly those involved in projects connected to Peru, so the community supports cross-border professional ties. The grantee must also establish and maintain a social media based hub (or hubs) that encourages networking and ongoing engagement, rather than a one-time event or static directory.

Mentorship is a core component of the program. The grant calls for launching an informal mentoring initiative in which senior archaeologists support emerging professionals and recent graduates, with at least two virtual mentorship sessions each year. The initial mentor group must include at least three Peruvian and three U.S. volunteers, drawn from different regions in both countries, to ensure a broader range of perspectives and access. Beyond mentorship, the grantee is expected to organize regular knowledge-sharing and community-building programming, including at least three virtual or in-person events per year for network members. In addition, the project must include at least two events specifically designed to spotlight the accomplishments of both senior and rising professionals, with the explicit goal of fostering leadership development and professional visibility.

The Embassy also emphasizes coordination with major Peruvian stakeholders in archaeology and cultural heritage. The grantee must invite the Colegio Nacional de Arqueologos, the Ministry of Culture, and universities with archaeology programs to contribute input and guidance. Outreach and visibility are not optional: the project must include an awareness-raising strategy aimed at target audiences, using social media outreach that can include paid advertising, and leveraging the participation of U.S. and Peruvian universities along with the Colegio Nacional de Arqueologos and the Ministry of Culture. Finally, the application must include a sustainability plan describing how the network will continue operating after the grant period ends, so the effort results in a lasting professional community rather than a short-term initiative.
