Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "DRL FY16 Supporting Human Rights and Civic Education, and Building Community Resilience in Tajikistan" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA DRLAQM 16 040). The program is structured as a grant and sits under the CFDA listings 19.345, with the funding activity category listed as "Other," indicating the work is specialized and described in more detail in the full solicitation materials (not included in the text provided). The overall aim, based on the title and DRL's typical program approach, is to support initiatives in Tajikistan that strengthen respect for human rights, expand civic education efforts, and help communities become more resilient in the face of social, political, or other pressures that can undermine civic participation and rights protections.
This opportunity was posted and created on January 21, 2016, with an application closing date of March 18, 2016 (no extension noted, as both the original and current closing dates are the same). The maximum potential award amount (award ceiling) is $450,000. The notice does not provide, in the excerpt shown, the expected number of awards to be made, which usually means applicants would need to consult the attached full announcement for details on how many grants DRL intended to fund, the anticipated award size range, performance period, and any cost-sharing expectations.
Eligible applicants cover a broad range of organization types, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions), and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. In practice, that eligibility list suggests DRL was open to proposals from universities, local or international civil society organizations, and certain private-sector implementers, so long as the proposed activities aligned with DRL objectives and met the Department of State's compliance and programmatic requirements.
Because the description field in the excerpt simply says "Please see attached," the specific program priorities, target populations, required activities, monitoring and evaluation expectations, and compliance conditions are not visible here. Still, the title points to three interconnected lines of effort: human rights support (which often includes awareness, advocacy capacity, documentation, legal support, or rights-related training), civic education (commonly curriculum development, public education campaigns, youth engagement, or training on civic participation and rule of law), and community resilience (often community-led initiatives that reduce vulnerability to coercion or instability and improve the ability of communities to respond constructively to challenges). The implementing agency is listed as DOS-DRL, confirming that the opportunity is administered by the State Department office that funds democracy, human rights, and governance programs globally.
In short, this was a 2016 DRL grant solicitation focused on Tajikistan, offering up to $450,000 per award, open to a wide range of nonprofit, academic, and certain for-profit applicants, with applications due March 18, 2016. The operational details and exact program requirements are contained in the attached solicitation referenced in the notice.
