Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) released a FY 2011 discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PRM MCE 11 CA 04292011) to support projects that strengthen the global community's ability to prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV) affecting refugees and conflict-affected populations that fall under PRM's populations of concern. The emphasis is on work that has broad, worldwide relevance rather than activities confined to a single country operation or a single organization. PRM is looking for proposals that improve collective capacity across humanitarian actors and generate actionable evidence that can shape better policy and programming in GBV prevention and response.
This announcement funds two main types of efforts. First, it supports capacity-building initiatives aimed at improving the ability of NGOs and implementing partners to prevent and respond to GBV in ways that can be applied across settings, meaning the outputs should be transferable and useful to the wider humanitarian community. Second, it supports research, assessments, and formative evaluations that directly inform and strengthen PRM and/or broader international approaches to GBV. For the research and evaluation track, PRM expects practical deliverables, including clear, concrete policy and program recommendations for stakeholders, and a focus on refugee and conflict-affected populations rather than general-population GBV work.
A key limitation is that this funding is not intended to build the capacity of a single, specific organization or to bankroll localized GBV service delivery in a particular geographic area. Applicants that want to run GBV prevention or response programs in a specific refugee setting are directed to apply through PRM's separate Regional Funding Opportunity Announcements instead. In other words, this opportunity is meant to produce shared tools, learning, evidence, and guidance that can improve how multiple actors operate across many contexts, rather than funding direct field operations in one location.
Awards are expected to be made as cooperative agreements, which typically means PRM anticipates a more engaged relationship with the recipient than a standard grant, potentially including substantial involvement in oversight, coordination, or shaping deliverables. Funding is limited, with an award floor of $50,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility is limited to two categories of applicants: (1) U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and (2) international organizations. The funding is associated with CFDA number 19.522, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities. The activity category is listed broadly as "Other," with a note encouraging international organizations engaged in relevant programs to ensure those programs are made known to PRM by the closing date so PRM can consider both IO and NGO efforts when deciding what to support.
The announcement timeline shows it was posted May 25, 2011 (creation date June 2, 2011) with an original closing date of June 28, 2011, later extended to July 5, 2011. The extension followed a substantive revision allowing applicants to submit program plans covering a wider implementation window, expanding the allowable project period from 12 months up to 36 months. The opportunity was archived July 28, 2011. For technical access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Shanna Devoy, PRM Program Officer, at 202-453-9349.
