Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) at the U.S. Department of State issued this opportunity as a Request for Statements of Interest (SOI) focused on Internet freedom programming under the Governing Justly and Democratically foreign assistance objective. The key point is that this is not a formal Request for Proposals. Instead, DRL is using the SOI stage to identify promising organizations and concepts, and only selected submitters would later be invited to develop and submit a full proposal.
This call is specifically limited to Internet freedom work that is not about developing new technology. In other words, proposals centered on building or creating technology tools are explicitly excluded from this particular solicitation and are expected to be handled under a separate DRL solicitation. Applicants are directed to consult DRL's broader Annual Program Statement for related opportunities and guidance, especially for ideas that fall closer to technology development.
The funding mechanism is a discretionary grant. The typical award size is substantial, with a minimum (award floor) of $500,000 and a maximum (award ceiling) of $2,000,000 per award. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a specific portion of the project cost from non-federal sources as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is broad across several organizational types. DRL indicates that it will consider submissions from public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. This mix suggests DRL is open to a range of implementers, including universities, civil society groups, and private-sector entities, as long as the proposed work aligns with the non-technology-development focus described in the solicitation.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. The funding opportunity number is DRLA DRLAQM 13 033, and it was posted on April 4, 2013. The closing date for submitting the Statement of Interest was May 20, 2013, and the opportunity was later archived on June 19, 2013. While those dates indicate the specific solicitation is historical, the structure and constraints described (SOI first, invitation to full proposal later, non-tech-development emphasis) reflect how DRL sometimes stages and scopes its Internet freedom funding.
