Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) with Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPNE 13 003 was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) to support humanitarian and assistance programs for Afghans affected by displacement. The core aim is to fund NGO-led efforts that benefit two primary populations: Afghan refugee returnees in Afghanistan and registered Afghan refugees in Pakistan. The opportunity sits under PRM's overseas refugee assistance mandate and is tied to CFDA 19.519, Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia.
PRM signals that its FY 2013 programming priorities for this FOA are concentrated in a set of key service sectors where needs are typically urgent and ongoing for displaced and returning communities. Proposed activities are expected to focus on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), livelihoods support, protection services for extremely vulnerable individuals and groups, health, and education. In practice, this framing suggests PRM is looking for proposals that either directly deliver services in these sectors or strengthen access, safety, and quality for these populations, consistent with refugee assistance objectives. The announcement emphasizes these sectors as the recommended areas of concentration, and applicants are directed to consult the full FOA for additional specifics on expectations, requirements, and any sector-specific guidance.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more involved relationship between the funding agency and the recipient than a standard grant, with PRM likely retaining substantial engagement in program oversight, coordination, or approvals during implementation. The FOA is categorized as discretionary funding, and the listed activity category is "Other," clarified as overseas refugee assistance.
In terms of funding levels, the announcement sets a maximum annual request amount based on geographic scope. For single-country projects, proposals must not exceed $1,500,000 per year. For cross-border proposals spanning Afghanistan and Pakistan, proposals must not exceed $2,000,000 per year, which also aligns with the stated award ceiling of $2,000,000. The award floor is listed as $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although voluntary leverage is sometimes described in full FOAs as beneficial if it strengthens impact or sustainability.
Eligibility is open to nonprofit organizations both with and without U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education, and it also includes international organizations. A notable procedural point is that international organizations such as UN agencies and other public international organizations are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov for this announcement. Instead, they are expected to contact the relevant PRM Program Officer by the closing date to discuss submission and applicability, reflecting a different application pathway for these entities.
The FOA timeline shows it was posted and created on March 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 4, 2013, and an archive date of May 4, 2013. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically are directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which provides 24/7 support (excluding federal holidays) via phone at 1-800-518-4726 or email at support@grants.gov. The announcement also includes an additional information link referencing the full FOA title, indicating that detailed programmatic, budget, and submission instructions are contained in the complete announcement text.
