International Sports Programming Initiative opportunity
PH International is currently requesting applications for two upcoming exchanges under the U.S. Department of State’s International Sports Programming Initiative (ISPI), funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), Office of Sports Diplomacy.
They are seeking qualified subaward partners for two reciprocal exchange programs:
- A U.S.–Dominican Republic swimming exchange focused on aquatic safety, swimming instruction, and school-based program development.
- A U.S.–Australia wheelchair rugby exchange focused on adaptive sports, youth development, and strengthening coaching and administrative capacity in disability sport programming.
Each exchange will include both an inbound and outbound component, approximately 10 days in duration (excluding international travel), and will engage cohorts of approximately 10 participants.
For additional information regarding these opportunities, please click on the following links for the PH International’s Request for Applications (RFA) materials, including program guidelines, narrative templates, and budget guidance for organizations interested in collaborating with us on these U.S. Department of State exchanges.
