Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement for the Regional Resettlement Support Center (RSC) in Turkey and the Middle East is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It seeks proposals from qualified organizations to operate a single RSC that supports the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) across designated locations in Turkey and the broader Middle East region. The application deadline was May 13, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. noon EDT, and the opportunity was posted on March 13, 2013, with an archive date of June 12, 2013. The assistance instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning PRM anticipates substantial involvement or close coordination with the award recipient in carrying out the work.
The core purpose of the RSC is to handle the end-to-end case preparation and processing support required before refugees can be considered for resettlement to the United States. In practical terms, the selected organization would help PRM by preparing the necessary casework for individuals who are eligible to be interviewed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which sits within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). For applicants who are approved, the RSC would then help them complete additional steps required for admission to the United States as refugees under Section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. A key operational responsibility also includes transmitting required case data for all DHS-approved cases to the Refugee Processing Center (RPC). The RPC then uses that information to support placement logistics, including distribution of cases to U.S.-based Reception and Placement (R&P) agencies according to PRM-established procedures.
PRM planned to make one award for this region, with an initial performance period running from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014, contingent on the availability of funds. The announcement emphasizes that PRM would provide full financial support to the organization selected, based on the submitted proposal and budget. While the initial award covers one fiscal year, PRM indicates the funding may be renewable for up to two additional fiscal years through annual budget submissions, provided there is an ongoing need for the RSC, the operator delivers satisfactory performance, and funds remain available. After three years, if PRM still needs an RSC in the region, the project would be recompeted, and the incumbent awardee would be allowed to compete again.
The scope of services is explicitly inclusive: the selected RSC operator is expected to provide refugee processing services for all USRAP applicants in the designated locations regardless of nationality or ethnicity, beginning October 1, 2013. This point signals that the RSC must be prepared to handle mixed caseloads and varied populations, and to apply standardized processing and data practices consistently across different applicant groups.
Eligibility under the announcement includes nonprofit organizations, including those with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education in both categories), as well as other eligible applicants as described in the full notice. A special instruction applies to international organizations: UN agencies and other public international organizations were directed not to apply through Grants.gov. Instead, they were asked to contact the relevant PRM program officer by or before the closing date if they sought funding connected to the opportunity.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOPERR 14 001 and is associated with CFDA number 19.018 (Resettlement Support Centers for U.S. Refugee Resettlement). No cost-sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as 0, which typically signals that specific funding levels were not stated in the summarized listing and would be clarified in the full announcement or determined based on PRM’s needs and available appropriations. For technical issues accessing or submitting the full announcement electronically, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except federal holidays.
