Request for Proposal:  COVID-19 Projects for API Youth

ACA is no longer accepting proposals.

As of June 13, 2020, close to 30 applications have been received.  The response to the call is overwhelming and has far exceeded our expectation and, as a result, the funding is nearly exhausted.  A big THANK YOU to all the students who have submitted proposals, and also an apology to those whose applications will not be accepted or those whose projects are not funded.
Alliance of Chinese Americans San Diego (ACA) and Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs San Diego (APAPA) are calling on API high school and college students to serve the communities of San Diego County during COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic is challenging our society in an unprecedented way in nearly all aspects of our daily life –  recreation, education, healthcare system,  shopping, transportation, and many more.  While most of us are doing our part to help “flatten the curve” by following 'stay-home' order by the state government, many of us are also eager to help the communities in our own ways.

To encourage API students to engage and serve our communities, ACA and APAPA are offering funding opportunities for COVID-19 related projects.  Up to $1,000 is available to award each of the selected projects.

​The emphasis of this RFP is to encourage students to come up with their own ideas.  Adviser will be available to supervise each project throughout the course.  Example areas of interest are given below, and are acceptable if you decide to choose one of them:
                 Impact research on ethnic groups
                 Document the local development of COVID-19
                 Document the relief effort, e.g. procurement of PPE, by local API community
                 Assist disadvantaged groups in navigating federal or state aid

                 Create informational, educational or entertaining material for social media
                 Innovative design or manufacturing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Eligibility
High school or college students of API descendants residing in San Diego County.  Either an individual or a team of individuals may apply.
Scope
Flexible.  Approximately 50 to 100 hours are recommended for each project
Method
All projects should be done primarily at home, using telecommunication, internet, or computer tools etc.  Safety regulation by government must be observed.
Deliverable
Product or report detailing background, goal, method, budget and results
Review and Funding Decision
Proposals will be reviewed by a committee and decision made within a week.  Decision will be either 'accept', 'deny', or 'revision required'.
All accepted proposals will be awarded in the amount determined based upon cost, effort, quality and impact.
Application

Apply as soon as possible!  
There is no deadline for application.  However, application is closed when funding is completely awarded.
