Opportunity Summary:
The International Center for Afghan Womens Economic Development grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 11 1 0002) was a U.S. Department of Defense grant designed to support the creation and initial establishment of an International Center focused on advancing Afghan womens economic development. The core purpose, as stated in the announcement, was to provide assistance specifically aimed at standing up this Center, which implies funding for foundational activities such as organizing the program structure, launching operations, and putting in place the capacity needed for the Center to function.
This opportunity was categorized under an "Other" funding activity classification, with the category explanation clarifying that the work supported was the establishment of the International Center for Afghan Womens Economic Development. The funding instrument type was a grant rather than a contract or cooperative agreement, and the announcement anticipated a single award. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $5,000,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of receiving the federal award.
Eligibility was not broadly competitive for multiple organizations. Instead, the notice specified that it was a single-source award to the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF). In practice, that means the agency intended to make the award directly to AUAF rather than open the competition to a wider pool of applicants, even though the general eligible applicant category was listed as "Others" with an additional eligibility clarification.
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted and created on July 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on September 11, 2011, indicating it was no longer active after that point. For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Grants Officer Kortnee Stewart, reachable by phone at 703-696-2461.
