Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) within the U.S. Department of State issued this discretionary grant opportunity titled "Democracy, Human Rights, and Rule of Law in Libya" under Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 15 070. The solicitation invites organizations to submit project proposals focused on strengthening democratic governance, advancing human rights, and supporting rule of law outcomes in Libya. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at programs that can contribute to more accountable institutions, greater respect for fundamental rights, and improved legal and civic frameworks in a challenging operating environment.
This is a grant (not a contract) and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.345, "International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor." The total estimated funding available for the competition is $350,000. Individual awards are expected to fall between a floor of $50,000 and a ceiling of $350,000, meaning a single award could potentially fund the entire amount, or DRL could choose to support more than one project depending on the merits of proposals and program design. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to be considered eligible.
Eligible applicants include a range of higher education and nonprofit entities: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). This eligibility framing suggests DRL was seeking implementers with programmatic capacity, governance or rights expertise, and the ability to operate or partner effectively in Libya, whether through direct presence, local partnerships, or remote support models consistent with security and access constraints.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on May 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2015. The listing was archived on July 10, 2015, indicating it is a past opportunity rather than an active solicitation. Applicants at the time would have been expected to prepare and submit a full proposal package through Grants.gov by the June deadline, following DRL proposal requirements described in the full announcement.
For access and submission support, the notice points applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center for technical assistance, available 24/7 except federal holidays, via phone at 1-800-518-4726 or email at support@grants.gov. The announcement also references an additional information link to the full solicitation, which would typically include program priorities, application formatting instructions, required attachments, compliance provisions, monitoring and evaluation expectations, and selection criteria used to review proposals.
