Opportunity Summary:
This FY 2015 Notice of Funding Opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPGL 15 005) comes from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), and it supports global innovation efforts meant to help the humanitarian community prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV) in refugee settings and other conflict-related displacement contexts. The focus is explicitly on PRM populations of concern worldwide, and the intent is to fund work that produces broadly usable knowledge, tools, and evidence that can strengthen GBV prevention and response across multiple humanitarian operations, rather than in just one country program or a single organization.
The opportunity is designed for proposals that have worldwide relevance and can influence practice beyond one site. PRM emphasizes scale and transferability, so strong applications are expected to involve multiple locations and, where it makes sense, multiple partners. The overall goal is to improve how humanitarian actors identify risks, prevent harm, deliver survivor-centered services, and measure results in displacement and emergency contexts where GBV risks are often heightened and response systems are strained.
PRM lays out three main types of projects it is willing to fund, and proposals can align with one or more of these categories. First, capacity-building initiatives are eligible when they strengthen the ability of international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and their implementing partners to prevent and respond to GBV in ways that have global application or implications. Second, PRM will consider research that targets known gaps and persistent challenges in GBV prevention and response in humanitarian settings, with an emphasis on generating findings that are relevant to policy and operational decision-making. Third, the funding supports impact assessments or external evaluations of GBV interventions, whether prospective (planned alongside implementation) or retrospective (looking back at completed or ongoing interventions), with the purpose of testing outcomes and impacts and then using that evidence to improve future programming.
A key requirement is rigor and usability. Research, assessments, and evaluations are expected to be academically rigorous, not simply descriptive, and they need to result in concrete policy and program recommendations that humanitarian stakeholders can act on. PRM also expects applicants to plan for dissemination and roll-out, meaning proposals should explain how findings, tools, or lessons learned will be shared in practice across the humanitarian community, not left as internal products. The notice also makes an important boundary clear: this funding is not meant to build the capacity of a single, specific organization, and it is not meant for direct, country-specific GBV service delivery projects. If an organization wants to run direct GBV prevention or response services in a particular location (programmatic activities like case management services, safe spaces, or clinical care in one country operation), PRM indicates those should be submitted under separate PRM funding announcements that are specifically geared to country or regional programs.
Awards are expected to fall between an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $400,000, and the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial involvement by the funding agency in the project’s direction, coordination, or oversight compared to a standard grant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity. The funding activity is categorized under Overseas Refugee Assistance, and the CFDA number referenced is 19.522 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities), signaling the strategic, cross-cutting nature of the work PRM is trying to advance.
Eligibility includes a range of applicant types such as public and private institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). International multilateral organizations, such as UN agencies, are treated differently in the process: they are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov for this announcement and instead to contact the PRM Program Officer by the closing date if they are seeking funding aligned with the opportunity. The notice was posted on April 13, 2015, with a closing date of May 14, 2015, and it was later archived on June 13, 2015. For technical access issues, the listed support channel is the Grants.gov Contact Center (support@grants.gov, 1-800-518-4726, 24/7 except federal holidays).

What kinds of projects does PRM want to fund under this notice?
PRM describes three main eligible project types: (1) capacity-building initiatives with global application for organizations and implementing partners working on GBV prevention and response; (2) research addressing known gaps and persistent challenges in GBV prevention and response in humanitarian settings; and (3) impact assessments or external evaluations of GBV interventions, either prospective or retrospective, to test outcomes and improve future programming.
Can a proposal focus on more than one project type?
Yes. Proposals can align with one or more of the three categories (capacity building, research, and/or impact assessment/external evaluation).
What does PRM mean by "global innovation" and "worldwide relevance"?
PRM is looking for proposals that can influence practice beyond one site. Projects are expected to generate outputs (knowledge, tools, evidence) that are transferable and usable across multiple humanitarian operations, not limited to a single location or organizational context.
Is PRM expecting projects to be implemented in multiple locations?
Yes. PRM emphasizes scale and transferability, and strong applications are expected to involve multiple locations and, where appropriate, multiple partners.
What outcomes is PRM trying to improve through these awards?
The overall goal is to improve how humanitarian actors identify GBV risks, prevent harm, deliver survivor-centered services, and measure results in displacement and emergency contexts.
What level of rigor is required for research, assessments, or evaluations?
PRM expects research, assessments, and evaluations to be academically rigorous and not merely descriptive. The work should generate concrete policy and program recommendations that humanitarian stakeholders can act on.

Yes. A key expectation is that findings translate into concrete policy and program recommendations to strengthen GBV prevention and response in humanitarian operations.

No. PRM states this funding is not intended for direct, country-specific GBV service delivery projects (for example, running case management, safe spaces, or clinical care in one country operation). Those types of activities should be proposed under separate PRM funding announcements that are geared to country or regional programs.
Can this funding be used to build the capacity of just one specific organization?
No. PRM makes clear that this funding is not meant to build the capacity of a single, specific organization. Capacity-building efforts need to have global application or broader implications beyond one organization.
