Opportunity Summary:
This FY 2012 funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), offered limited support for projects designed to strengthen the global humanitarian communitys ability to prevent, reduce, and respond effectively to gender based violence (GBV) affecting refugees and other conflict affected groups that fall within PRMs populations of concern. The focus was explicitly global rather than country specific, meaning PRM was looking for work that could improve policies, tools, evidence, and practice across multiple settings instead of funding direct service delivery in one location.
The announcement prioritized proposals in two broad categories. First, PRM invited capacity building projects aimed at improving the ability of NGOs and implementing partners to prevent and respond to GBV in ways that have worldwide application or clear global implications. Second, PRM sought research, assessments, or external evaluations (either prospective or retrospective) that could generate practical lessons to inform and strengthen PRM and wider international GBV policy and programming. For the research and evaluation track, PRM emphasized that deliverables should not stop at findings; they should produce concrete, actionable policy and program recommendations for relevant stakeholders, grounded in the realities of refugee and conflict affected populations.
To maximize global reach and usefulness, PRM encouraged activities that worked across multiple locations and, when possible, involved multiple partners. The intent was to support efforts that could be replicated, scaled, or adopted by different humanitarian actors and coordination structures. At the same time, the announcement drew a clear boundary around what it would not fund: it was not intended to build the capacity of a single organization in isolation, and it was not meant to fund GBV prevention or response programming limited to one geographic area. Applicants with proposals focused on direct GBV services in a specific country or region were directed instead to PRMs separate Regional Funding Opportunity Announcements.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, reflecting PRMs expectation of substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on priorities, learning agendas, or dissemination of results). Awards ranged from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $400,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity fell under CFDA 19.522, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities, and the program category was described as refugee assistance. The notice also advised international organizations already engaged in relevant programming to ensure PRM was aware of those efforts by the closing date so PRM could consider the full landscape of IO and NGO activities when making funding decisions.
Eligibility was relatively broad, including nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities, excluding institutions of higher education), public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and international organizations. The opportunity was posted April 5, 2012, with an application deadline of May 8, 2012, and later archived June 7, 2012. The funding opportunity number was PRM MCE 12 CA 04052012. A point of contact listed for access issues with the full announcement was Shanna Devoy, Program Analyst, at 202-453-9349.
