USIA NIS Secondary School Partnership Program

The U.S. Information Agency's Youth Programs Division has published a Request for Proposals for the FY-99 NIS Secondary School Partnership Program. Proposals will be accepted for projects that link schools in the U.S. with schools in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine. The deadline for proposals is Friday, February 12, 1999.

Public and private non-profit organizations are invited to submit proposals for projects that will either enhance or expand existing partnerships or develop new school partnership programs with the goals of advancing mutual understanding between the U.S. and the NIS, developing lasting institutional ties, and promoting partnerships that serve the needs and interests of the schools. All submissions must have a thematic focus and feature on-going joint project activity between the schools, a student exchange component, and an educator exchange component.

Please find the RFP in the December 10 Federal Register or on our website: http://e.usia.gov/education/rfps/. A complete solicitation package consists of an RFP (Request for Proposals), a POGI (Project Objectives, Goals, and Implementation), and a PSI (Proposal Submission Instructions). You may get a complete solicitation package by downloading all of the relevant documents from the website or by contacting the Youth Programs Division to have a solicitation package mailed to you [telephone: (202) 619-6299 or e-mail: [email protected]].
