Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Funding Opportunity Announcement (Funding Opportunity Number PRM SGP 10 CA 04192010) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) grant competition designed to improve how humanitarian programs are planned, assessed, and adapted using stronger evidence. The opportunity offers limited funding through a cooperative agreement mechanism to support work that builds practical decision-making tools, conducts assessments, and produces research that is directly relevant to PRM-funded humanitarian assistance for refugees and other conflict-affected populations worldwide. The underlying goal is to strengthen policy and program choices by grounding them in credible data, rigorous analysis, and actionable findings that can be used by PRM and partners.
The announcement highlights two main priority activity areas. First, PRM is seeking projects that strengthen evidence-based decision-making tools used in humanitarian operations, including tools that can be applied to PRM-funded programming. This can include improved frameworks, methodologies, metrics, analytical approaches, or other practical products that help humanitarian actors make better choices about targeting, program design, resource allocation, monitoring, and learning in challenging displacement contexts. Second, PRM is especially interested in research, assessments, or formative evaluations that can inform and improve PRM policy and programming for two specific populations: (a) urban refugees and people displaced into urban settings who are in protracted displacement situations lasting five years or more, and (b) stateless persons. The emphasis on formative evaluation signals an interest in learning-oriented work that identifies what is working, what is not, and why, in order to refine strategies and improve outcomes rather than only judging past performance.
PRM is open to a wide range of proposal scopes and geographies. Applicants may submit proposals that are focused on a single country or a specific population group, but PRM also welcomes multi-country, multi-population, or regional proposals, particularly those that compare and analyze different contexts to draw broader lessons. This flexibility suggests PRM is looking both for context-specific insights that can guide operations in particular locations and for cross-cutting findings that can shape policy and programming across multiple settings.
Eligibility is broad but limited to organizations rather than individuals. Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, research institutes, institutions of higher education (public, private, or state-controlled), and international organizations. Individuals are not eligible to apply. The funding does not require cost sharing or matching. The maximum award amount listed is $300,000, with no stated minimum award floor, meaning smaller proposals may be considered depending on merit, feasibility, and available funds.
Because the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect a closer working relationship with PRM than under a standard grant. In practice, this typically means PRM anticipates some level of substantial involvement in shaping the work plan, ensuring alignment with PRM priorities, coordinating with other stakeholders, and reviewing deliverables. The funding activity is categorized as "Other," with the clarification that the supported work is specifically intended to strengthen evidence-based decision making and generate assessments and research relevant to PRM-funded refugee assistance programs. The CFDA program associated with this funding is 19.522, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities.
PRM indicates clear preferences about the type of organizational capacity it wants to see. Priority consideration is given to organizations that can demonstrate strong knowledge of UNHCR operations and familiarity with findings from previous UNHCR research and evaluations, reflecting the central role UNHCR plays in global refugee response and the need for new work to build on existing evidence rather than duplicate it. PRM also prioritizes applicants with a proven track record conducting similar research, particularly evaluations of humanitarian assistance programs and policies affecting refugees, stateless persons, vulnerable migrants, and conflict victims. In addition, PRM looks for demonstrated subject-matter expertise and awareness of both current and past work in the proposed topic area, which signals an expectation that proposals will be grounded in the state of the evidence and current debates. Finally, PRM places weight on evidence of coordination with donor governments, policy and research institutes, international organizations, and other relevant actors, indicating that PRM values collaboration, information sharing, and alignment across the humanitarian research and policy ecosystem.
The posting date for the opportunity is April 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2010, and an archive date of June 27, 2010. PRM also notes that international organizations with relevant programs should ensure these programs are made known to PRM by the closing date so PRM can consider both NGO and IO efforts in its funding decisions. For applicants, PRM directs organizations to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov and to review PRM general NGO guidelines available on PRM's website. A named point of contact is provided for questions: Program Officer/Analyst Fruzsina Csaszar, reachable by phone at 202-663-1039 and by email at CsaszarFA@state.gov.
