The Department invites U.
S.
applicants to submit applications to carry out a series of reporting tours for six groups of journalists from regions world-wide.
The purpose of these tours is for the journalists to gather information to better inform their audiences about the U.
S.
and
its partners' foreign policy toward the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the nature of the threat posed by DPRK nuclearization to global security.
The Department intends to award up to $500,000 contingent on funding availability.
