Opportunity Summary:
The Iraq Rule of Law Initiatives grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL 10 GR 0005 NEA 06 18 2010) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), to support efforts to strengthen Iraqs criminal justice system as part of broader goals around security, stability, and rule of law. The program sits within INLs wider mission of strengthening criminal justice systems, countering illegal narcotics, and reducing transnational crime. Building on U.S. engagement in Iraq since 2003, the opportunity emphasizes that police, judiciary, and corrections are interdependent, and that durable rule of law outcomes require all three to function effectively together. The overall aim is to help develop a criminal justice system that maintains law and order while being fair and humane enough that ordinary Iraqis choose formal justice institutions over violent militias or criminal networks to resolve disputes and seek protection.
Applicants were invited to propose programs that align with specific target themes laid out by INL, with the option to address more than one theme in a single application. Awards were expected to support projects lasting up to 36 months, depending on funding availability. The total anticipated funding across all awards was up to USD 21,200,000, with an expected 10 awards. Individual project budgets were expected to track closely to the anticipated funding amounts listed for each theme, with an award floor of USD 100,000 and an award ceiling of USD 5,000,000. INL also made clear that it would not fund proposals that mainly provide products or services better suited to procurement through a contract, and that there was no guarantee of future or additional funding beyond any initial award; extensions or increases would be only at INLs discretion.
The opportunity was organized around ten program areas, each with an anticipated funding level. The largest allocations were for a Police Education Program (USD 5,000,000) and Central Administration of Justice Sector Institutions (USD 4,500,000), reflecting a focus on building institutional capacity and professionalization. Several sizable investments targeted justice-sector modernization and governance, including Advanced Court IT Management and automation of core administrative functions (USD 2,500,000), Legislative Assistance and Review (USD 2,500,000), and multiple initiatives addressing information, infrastructure, and secure operations such as physical and digital records management and archiving (USD 1,250,000), a secure video teleconference communications system for justice-sector institutions (USD 1,100,000), and secure facility design and protection (USD 1,500,000). Other targeted efforts included Iraq Corrections Training Development (USD 1,500,000), a Judge-led course on complex investigations (USD 100,000), and Advocacy and Rehabilitation for Victims of Trafficking (USD 1,250,000), showing that the portfolio was intended to cover both system-wide capacity building and specialized legal and human rights related needs.
Eligibility was open to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as private institutions of higher education and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. Cost sharing or matching was not required. The funding instrument type was a grant, categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services, and associated with CFDA 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems). Key dates listed in the notice included a posted date of June 18, 2010, an original closing date of July 19, 2010, and a current closing date of July 22, 2010, with an archive date of August 18, 2010.
Operationally, the notice stressed that applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov and that organizations needed to be registered in Grants.gov prior to submission. Because registration can take time, applicants were urged to start the registration process well ahead of the deadline, and the announcement stated that no exceptions would be made for applicants that failed to submit through Grants.gov by the due date. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Linda Gower, Grants Officer, at 202-776-8774 and gowerlg@state.gov.
