The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program, a Fulbright Exchange, is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered through a cooperative agreement with the Institute of International Education, Inc. (“IIE”). Each year, IIE invites qualified organizations, including academic and professional institutions, to submit a proposal to host a Humphrey Fellowship Program Enhancement Workshop. The award results in a Cost-Reimbursable Contract.
 
During the Humphrey Fellowship Program, experienced professionals from over 90 countries participate in thematic or skill-building Enhancement Workshops.
 
Thematic workshops have a broad focus on a critical global issue; these workshops expand not only the Fellows’ expertise around the chosen topic, but help develop their leadership skills through content-rich exercises and discussions. Potential thematic workshop topics might include:
·       Food security
·       AI and emerging technology
·       Emergency management
·       Climate change, natural resources management and sustainability
·       Diversity, equity, inclusion and access in management and policymaking
 
Skill-building workshops equip Fellows with practical skills essential for success in the 21st century workplace, positioning them to influence decision-making and policy development within their professional fields in their countries. Potential skill-building workshop topics might include:
·       Data literacy
·       Digital transformation, emerging technologies, and ethical use
·       Grant writing
·       People management/teambuilding
·       ArcGIS practical training
The recipient organizations will design a 3-5 day in-person workshop for approximately 30-40 Humphrey Fellows in either February or March 2024. The proposed workshop should be designed around one thematic topic or set of professional skills.
 
Offerors may propose budgets up to $30,000.00 per workshop.
 
Once released, the RFP will be publicly available at https://www.iie.org/Work-With-Us/Subawards-Procurements/Solicitations-for-Subaward-Opportunities. IIE encourages proposals from institutions and organizations that introduce Humphrey Fellows to the full range of American diversity, including institutions and organizations working with underserved, rural and minority populations.
