Opportunity Summary:
The FY2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Reception and Placement (RP) Program (Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMUSRAP 16 001) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). PRM is seeking proposals from qualified nonprofit organizations to carry out the initial reception and placement services that help refugees and certain other eligible individuals successfully begin their lives in the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). Funding would be provided through Cooperative Agreements, meaning PRM expects an ongoing partnership and substantial involvement in program oversight and implementation rather than a simple one time pass through grant.
The central goal of the RP Program is to promote successful early resettlement outcomes for people admitted to the United States under USRAP. For the purposes of this announcement, a "refugee" is defined in line with federal immigration law as someone admitted under section 207(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, or someone whose eligibility for resettlement assistance has been extended by statute to match that available to section 207(c) entrants. In practical terms, the program focuses on ensuring newly arrived refugees are met, stabilized, and connected to essential services quickly and consistently across the country through experienced service networks.
PRM states it intends to make FY2016 Cooperative Agreements to well qualified nonprofit organizations that can deliver a broad range of reception and placement services across networks of multiple locations in the United States. The opportunity is open to both organizations with strong prior performance under previous PRM agreements and organizations that meet the published selection criteria and can demonstrate the capacity to provide the required services. PRM also makes a point of clarifying that participation in the FY2015 RP Program is neither required to apply for FY2016 nor a guarantee of continued participation, reinforcing that proposals will be evaluated on current qualifications and ability to meet program needs.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS recognized 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Beyond that baseline requirement, PRM outlines specific capacity expectations that applicants must meet to be considered. Applicants must be well established social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise, and they must have experience managing a network of affiliate organizations that provide reception and placement services or similar services to refugees or other migrant populations within the United States. They also must have been operating for at least three full years under 501(c)(3) status, must document the availability of private financial resources to contribute to the program, and must operate multiple locations across the United States. Collectively, these requirements emphasize that PRM is looking for mature organizations with proven national or multi site infrastructure, financial backing beyond federal funds, and operational readiness to scale services across many communities.
Key administrative details include the posting date of April 24, 2015 and a proposal deadline of Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) EDT, with the opportunity archived on July 23, 2015. The assistance listing associated with the program is CFDA 19.510 (U.S. Refugee Admissions Program). The notice indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0 in the source data, which typically signals that specific funding levels are defined in the full announcement materials rather than in the summary record, and applicants would need to review the Grants.gov full announcement for the exact funding structure, budgeting rules, and expected program outputs.
For applicants or interested parties needing additional guidance, PRM directs readers to the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete instructions and requirements. Program specific questions can be directed to the PRM Program Officer listed in the notice, Kiera Berdinner, at 202 453 9259 or BerdinnerKR@state.gov. Technical issues accessing the announcement electronically can be handled through the Grants.gov Contact Center at 1 800 518 4726 or support@grants.gov, which operates 24/7 except federal holidays.
