Policy Analysis: Performance-Based Funding Policy of the U.S. Olympic Committee

초록

United States Olympic Committee (USOC) is a federally-chartered, non-profit organization that supports the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes through their national governing bodies (NGBs), providing financial support and jointly working to develop customized and impactful athlete support and coaching education programs. However, the USOC must find a way to better aid the athletes in an effective and efficient manner as the USOC is not funded by the federal government of the United States. As such, the USOC allocate financial aid to NGBs based on the potential for success at the international level, underscoring the importance it places on Team USA's medal count. The performance-based funding policy of the USOC was reviewed based on a qualitative content analysis and analyzed from ethical perspectives. Recommendations were followed by the policy analysis.
