Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) numbered PRM PRMOAPGL 14 005 is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), under CFDA 19.522 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities). It supports the Safe from the Start initiative, which is aimed at improving how the humanitarian system prevents and responds to gender based violence (GBV) in the earliest phase of refugee emergencies, when risks are often highest and services are least established. Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant.
The core purpose is twofold. First, PRM seeks NGO proposals that strengthen GBV prevention and response as soon as an acute refugee emergency begins or rapidly escalates, with attention to the needs of newly arrived refugees. Second, it asks applicants to generate practical learning from these on the ground efforts and actively share that learning so it improves wider humanitarian practice in future crises. In other words, the FOA is not only about delivering services in one setting; it is also about building evidence, tools, and field tested approaches that other responders can use in the next emergency.
Geographically, applicants may propose work in one or more countries experiencing acute refugee emergencies, with examples given such as countries hosting refugees from Syria, South Sudan, or the Central African Republic. The announcement is explicit that the focus is on acute situations rather than protracted refugee contexts, and that applicants can either establish new programs or scale up existing programs specifically to address the needs of new arrivals. PRM also sets a minimum beneficiary requirement: it can only support programs serving at least 50 refugees, which signals that proposals should be operationally meaningful rather than small pilot activities with very limited reach.
Program content is expected to align with Safe from the Start objectives by addressing immediate GBV risks and needs early in an emergency. The FOA emphasizes two main program pillars that should be visible in the design. One is GBV prevention and risk mitigation, which in humanitarian settings commonly includes steps like making service points and distribution systems safer, improving lighting and access to safe sanitation, reducing exposure to exploitation and abuse, strengthening community based protection strategies, and integrating GBV risk reduction into sectors such as shelter, WASH, health, and food assistance. The second pillar is ensuring access to comprehensive services for GBV survivors, which typically implies survivor centered case management and referral pathways, timely clinical care and psychosocial support, safety planning, and coordinated multi sector response mechanisms so survivors can reach appropriate help without being retraumatized or forced to repeat their story across agencies. The intended primary target population is newly arrived refugees, reflecting the initiative name and the priority on front loading protection measures before harmful patterns become entrenched.
The allowable period of performance is designed to be relatively short and focused, between 12 and 24 months, reflecting the intent to intervene quickly and generate learning within a practical timeframe. The budget cap (award ceiling) is $800,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor is listed as $0). The FOA also notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for nonprofits that may not be able to contribute non federal funds.
Eligibility is primarily oriented toward nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). International Organizations such as UN agencies and other Public International Organizations are treated differently: they are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov for this opportunity and instead to contact the relevant PRM Program Officer by the closing date if they seek funding for relevant work.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of July 15, 2014, later extended to July 18, 2014 at 12:00 pm EDT, with the announcement posted June 6, 2014 and archived August 14, 2014. For application system issues, the listed support channel is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1 800 518 4726, support@grants.gov). Overall, the FOA is designed to fund rapid, high impact GBV programming for newly arrived refugees in acute emergencies while also producing and sharing practical lessons that strengthen global humanitarian capacity to prevent and respond to GBV from the start of a crisis.
