Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "DRL FY13 North Korea - Call for North Korea focused proposals" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA DRLAQM 14 038). The purpose of the request for proposals is to fund programs that promote human rights and democratic principles for North Koreans. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at projects that support the advancement of basic rights, accountability, access to information, and other democracy and human-rights related objectives connected to North Korea and North Korean people.
This opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and is listed under CFDA 19.345, "International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor." While the activity category is labeled as "Other," no additional category explanation is provided in the source text. The announcement was posted and created on April 14, 2014, with an original (and unchanged) closing date of May 13, 2014. The archive date is June 12, 2014, indicating the solicitation is no longer active, but the details remain useful for understanding DRL priorities and typical funding ranges for similar calls.
The funding range for individual awards is set with a floor of $200,000 and a ceiling of $350,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants were expected to contribute some portion of project costs through cash or in-kind support, consistent with the solicitation requirements (the specific percentage or structure is not included in the excerpt provided). These award sizes suggest DRL was looking for well-scoped projects with clear deliverables rather than very small pilot efforts or very large multi-million dollar programs.
Eligibility is limited to certain types of organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and private institutions of higher education. Government entities are not listed in the provided eligibility categories, and the solicitation appears oriented toward civil society and academic actors capable of implementing human rights and democracy programming connected to the North Korea context.
For administrative and technical assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact point provided is the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 except federal holidays, at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
