About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi is soliciting applications through a cooperative agreement to implement the U.S. India Sports Technology Dialogues and Innovation Program, with applications due June 20, 2026. The program operates under CFDA 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs) and is administered by the Department of State.
The program will conduct national dialogues, applied demonstrations, and targeted engagement activities across eight Indian cities—New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Guwahati, Aizwal, Mumbai, and Hyderabad—to connect Indian sports authorities, professional leagues, sports medicine institutions, and innovation stakeholders with U.S. experts, companies, and research institutions. All implementation activities occur in India. The initiative supports Mission 500, the mandate to double bilateral U.S.-India trade to $500 billion by 2030, and establishes a commercial pipeline for American innovation in sports technology sectors.
The program prioritizes activities that showcase American excellence in sports performance technology, data analytics, and sports medicine. Applicants are encouraged to leverage global sports milestones including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games as platforms for engagement. Program objectives advance U.S. foreign policy priorities to promote American innovation, expand international commercial opportunities for U.S. firms, and reinforce U.S. leadership in emerging technology sectors.
Eligible applicant categories include nonprofits, educational institutions, and governmental entities. Award amounts typically range from $5,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 6 to 24 months. Applicants must submit a Performance Monitoring Plan with an M&E budget representing 3 to 7 percent of total project budget and complete all required SF-424, SF-424A, and application format templates. All air travel financed by U.S. Government funds must comply with the Fly America Act.
