Opportunity Summary:
The DRL Human Rights and Labor NOFO FY15/16 (Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Burma) is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL). It is set up as an open competition for organizations proposing projects that promote internationally recognized labor rights, with a geographic focus on Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Burma (Myanmar). While the brief synopsis frames the goal in global terms, the title makes clear that this particular funding round is aimed at labor-rights programming connected to those three priority countries.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism under CFDA 19.345 (International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor), and the activity category is listed as "Other," with the internal category explanation noted as HRDF. DRL anticipated making about three awards under this notice. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $400,000, which signals support for small-to-midsize projects rather than large, multi-million-dollar initiatives. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to commit organizational funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness (though applicants can still choose to contribute leveraged resources if relevant to their approach).
In terms of who can apply, the opportunity is open to a broad set of organizational types. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other entities as further described in DRL's Proposal Submission Instructions (PSI). The notice points applicants to the PSI posted on DRL's website for the detailed rules, required components, and any additional eligibility clarifications that are not fully spelled out in the short listing.
The timeline for the competition reflects a standard federal grant cycle for a notice of funding opportunity. The opportunity was posted and created on August 7, 2015, with an application deadline (original and current) of September 21, 2015. The listing indicates the opportunity was archived on October 21, 2015, which generally means the submission window closed and the program moved into review, selection, and award processing.
For applicant support and access issues, the published contact route is the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 except federal holidays, with both a phone number (1-800-518-4726) and email (support@grants.gov). The notice also provides an additional information link referencing the full announcement, and it emphasizes that detailed submission guidance should be obtained through DRL's Proposal Submission Instructions, which is where applicants would typically find formatting requirements, mandatory attachments, budget and narrative guidance, and instructions for submitting through Grants.gov.
