Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) numbered PRM-PRMOAPNE-14-001 was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) to support NGO programs benefiting refugees from Syria who are located in Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq. The assistance is framed as overseas refugee assistance under CFDA 19.519 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia) and is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means PRM anticipates substantial involvement in the funded program beyond a standard grant relationship. PRM makes clear that proposals are expected to align with the UN Regional Response Plan (RRP) for the Syria crisis, either by directly falling within the RRP or by demonstrating close alignment with its strategic priorities, while also meeting PRM bureau priorities for Syrian refugees.
A central feature of the announcement is that PRM narrows the programmatic focus by country and by setting (host communities versus camps). For Syrian refugees living in host communities in Jordan and Lebanon, PRM invites proposals in several sectors, presented without a stated internal ranking. These sectors include protection; gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response; child protection and youth protection; education; information management and mass communications; health activities related to protection needs; and shelter support. Lebanon has two additional, explicitly country-specific areas of interest: mental health and psychosocial programs, and primary health care (PHC). The message is that PRM is willing to support a range of protection-centered humanitarian interventions in host communities, but also wants applicants to stay tightly connected to the broader regional response architecture.
For Jordan, the FOA draws a strict line for work inside UN-managed camps. In that setting, PRM limits eligible programming to a single sector: information management and mass communications. This signals that, at least for UN-run camps in Jordan during this funding window, PRM was seeking support that improves how refugees receive, understand, and use information and how services communicate with affected populations, rather than financing a broad suite of camp services through this particular opportunity.
For Iraq, PRM allows programming both in host communities and in camps, and it authorizes a wider set of sectors than the Jordan-camp limitation. Eligible sectors in Iraq include protection; GBV prevention and response; child and youth protection; education; health; mental health and psychosocial programs; shelter; and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). This country scope indicates PRM anticipated significant humanitarian needs across multiple basic service and protection domains in Iraq for Syrian refugees, regardless of whether they were camp-based or integrated into communities.
In terms of funding parameters and timing, the FOA was posted and created on November 26, 2013, with an original (and final) closing date of December 27, 2013, and it was archived on January 26, 2014. The stated award ceiling is $2,000,000, with no award floor listed (effectively $0), suggesting PRM could consider proposals of varying sizes up to the cap depending on merit, need, and available funding. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness under this announcement.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at non-governmental nonprofit organizations, including U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). The FOA also addresses international organizations (IOs) such as UN agencies and other public international organizations (PIOs), but it directs them not to apply through Grants.gov. Instead, IOs interested in funding relevant to this announcement were instructed to contact the appropriate PRM Program Officer by the closing date, reflecting a separate application channel and engagement process for those entities.
For access and applicant support, the notice points applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center for technical issues, providing a phone number (1-800-518-4726), 24/7 availability (excluding federal holidays), and an email address (support@grants.gov). Overall, the opportunity is structured to fund targeted, RRP-aligned humanitarian activities for Syrian refugees, with sector priorities that vary based on whether programming is in Jordan, Lebanon, or Iraq and whether refugees are in host communities or UN-managed camp settings.
