Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) issued a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) for a grant opportunity focused on transitional justice in Nepal. Rather than asking for full proposals right away, DRL is seeking short Statements of Interest (SOIs) from organizations that can describe a strong program concept and demonstrate they have the capacity to manage and deliver a project aligned with DRL policy priorities. The core objective is to help address Nepal's transitional justice needs, with activities that may include appropriate support to civil society organizations and relevant governmental bodies involved in transitional justice efforts.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA 19.345 (International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor) and falls under the broader theme of programs supporting democracy and human rights. DRL anticipated making one award. The estimated total funding available is $495,000, with individual awards expected to range from $300,000 (floor) up to $495,000 (ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad across several organizational types, including U.S.-based nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). The opportunity was posted on November 12, 2014, created on December 15, 2014, and the application window ultimately ran until January 2, 2015. The opportunity was archived on January 14, 2015.
For applicants needing access assistance with the full announcement, DRL directed inquiries to the GrantSolutions.gov Help Desk, including phone and email support, indicating the announcement and submission process were managed through that platform.
