Individuals chosen will be designated Rita Allen Foundation Scholars and the affiliated institution will receive financial support from the Rita Allen Foundation of up to $110,000 annually, for a period of up to five years. 

Eligibility
To be eligible for a Rita Allen Foundation Scholars Award candidates must: 

• Be nominated by a selected institution
• Have completed their training and provided persuasive evidence of distinguished achievement or extraordinary promise in research in one of the relevant fields
• Be in the early stages of their careers; most likely, this will mean a recent appointment at a faculty level

Rita Allen Foundation Scholars may not accept an award from the Beckman Young Investigator Program, Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences, Searle Scholars Program, or Vallee Scholars Program that would take effect beginning in year one of the RAF award.

Executive Summary
The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Sports Diplomacy Division (ECA/PE/C/SD), in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the implementation of the FY 2025 International Sports Programming Initiative (ISPI). U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to manage sports exchange projects designed to support key sporting and cultural priorities of the Administration.
 

ISPI is an exchange program that promotes coaching and administrative skills, creates connections with U.S. sports organizations, and enables youth development professionals to create effective sports-based initiatives in their home countries. The FY 2025 ISPI will continue to rely on U.S. embassies and consulates to select the specific theme and sport of each exchange, which will advance U.S. foreign policy goals. Additionally, all exchanges will promote America250, the FIFA World Cup, and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games.

It is the Bureau’s intent to award one cooperative agreement for an estimated total amount of $1,400,000, pending the availability of FY 2025 funds.

Executive Summary
Priority Region: Ukraine

This program aims to promote shared security, stability, and technological innovation for the United States and Ukraine by establishing collaborative partnerships between U.S. and Ukrainian scholars, industries, and research institutions in key priority areas. These partnerships will enhance defense capabilities and security while promoting technological innovation and shared knowledge between the United States and Ukraine.

By integrating education, defense, and innovation, the program strengthens U.S. national security and ensures that Ukraine remains a robust partner, mitigating the risk of its intellectual and technological advancements being exploited by competitors.

These partnerships will help enhance the resilience of U.S. and Ukrainian defense sectors, strengthen cyber defenses, increase energy security, and utilize U.S. best practices and expertise in agriculture, construction, and demining to help create a safer and more secure U.S.-Ukraine partnership, leading to increased economic and investment opportunities for U.S. businesses.

Overview
Tajikistan is a critical counterterrorism nexus in Central Asia, a region ISIS-K seeks to exploit for recruitment and illicit cross-border activities. Despite vulnerabilities caused by Tajikistan’s remote and rugged borders, which create risks of illicit movement, it appears the greatest terrorist risk to the region and U.S. security lies in the potential of terrorist groups to inspire, recruit, and organize Central Asians to commit attacks. This project seeks to develop early detection strategies for at-risk communities to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends and activities, with a focus in frontier localities. In doing so, this project builds Tajikistan’s capability to interdict terrorist activity and movement through early detection, responding to terrorist activity at the source to protect America’s borders and security.

Executive Summary
Priority Region: 30 countries of strategic importance
The Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program strengthens national security by engaging emerging young leaders from the United States and from countries of strategic importance. YES is a merit-based, academic-year program consisting of two exchange cohorts: YES and YES Abroad. YES brings approximately 450 high school participants to the United States each year from approximately 30 countries of strategic importance. Participants live with volunteer Americans host families in all 50 states, study in U.S. high schools, engage in community service activities, and learn leadership skills for an academic year. YES Abroad sends approximately 60 American high school participants abroad each year to select YES countries for a similar program.

The FY 2025 Kennedy-Lugar YES Program: Overseas Components cooperative agreement, which is the subject of this NOFO, will fund the recruitment, selection, orientation, travel, liaison activities with natural parents, and alumni support for international and U.S. participants. This award will also fund the placement and support of U.S. participants abroad. Participant placement and support for the international participants in the United States will be conducted under separate awards. The exchanges for both cohorts will take place during the 2026-27 academic year.

The YES and YES Abroad programs strengthen U.S. national security by developing the next generation of leaders from the United States and 30 countries of strategic importance in all world regions. The YES inbound program exposes participants to American culture and values and cultivates their lifelong affinity for the United States. YES Abroad develops the cultural, linguistic, and leadership skills of American youth, making them more competitive in the workforce. YES boosts the U.S. economy because the bulk of the program funding is spent in American host communities, most often in small towns and rural areas, across all 50 states.
