Opportunity Summary:
The East Asia Pacific Regional Administrative Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EAP EAPAQM 15 004) was a discretionary U.S. government grant announcement administered by the Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. It sought one implementing partner to provide program development services along with the logistical and administrative backbone needed to carry out U.S. foreign assistance funded engagement activities across several major Asia-Pacific regional platforms. In practical terms, the award was designed to fund an organization that could plan, coordinate, and support events and related programmatic work that advance U.S. engagement with key regional institutions and processes, rather than funding direct infrastructure projects or large-scale service delivery on the ground.
The scope of work focused on supporting U.S. participation and programming tied to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), and East Asia Summit (EAS) related engagements. It also explicitly included support for the Expanded ASEAN Maritime Forum (EAMF) and the Expanded ASEAN Seafarer Training (EAST) program, as well as the Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI). Collectively, these forums and initiatives cover a wide range of diplomatic and policy priorities, including economic cooperation, regional security dialogue, maritime cooperation, capacity building, and sub-regional development coordination in the Mekong area. The requested support role implies responsibilities such as helping develop program concepts and agendas, coordinating participant logistics, arranging travel and venues, managing meeting support and communications, tracking deliverables, and handling administrative requirements connected to U.S. foreign assistance programming.
Funding was to be provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency anticipated substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on planning, approvals, and oversight as activities move forward. The announcement listed an award ceiling of $730,000 with no stated minimum (award floor of $0), and it anticipated making a single award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness.
Eligible applicants were broadly defined and included a mix of U.S. and non-U.S. organizational types. The announcement allowed applications from nonprofits (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they were not institutions of higher education), private and public institutions of higher education, public international organizations, and foreign nonprofit organizations. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 19.124 (East Asia and Pacific Grants Program), indicating it fell under the State Department's foreign assistance portfolio for the region.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on February 20, 2015, with an original and final closing date of March 30, 2015, and it was archived on April 29, 2015. The activity category was listed as "Other," with no additional explanation provided. For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice directed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center for technical support.
