Opportunity Summary:
The DRL China FY2014 Request for Statements of Interest is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) grant opportunity that begins with a preliminary screening step rather than a full proposal submission. DRL is asking organizations to submit short Statements of Interest (SOIs) describing project ideas that advance the bureau's policy priorities of fostering democracy and human rights in China. This notice is explicitly not a formal Request for Proposals; instead, DRL plans to review submitted SOIs and then invite a select group of applicants to develop and submit full proposals at a later stage. The overall focus area sits within democracy and governance-related programming, including democracy, human rights, labor rights, religious freedom, public participation, and civil society.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant, with the funding activity category described as Law, Justice and Legal Services and an additional clarification that the work aligns with democracy and human rights programming. The CFDA number associated with the program is 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility under this announcement.
