Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Mongolia issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity for a program called "Mongolia's Emerging Leaders Activity" under funding opportunity number RFA-438-16-000001. The opportunity was posted on March 7, 2016, and it seeks applications for a cooperative agreement (the notice explains that for its purposes, "grant" and "cooperative agreement" are used interchangeably, and "grantee/recipient" and "grant officer/agreement officer" are treated as equivalent terms). The activity sits within the broader funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services and is associated with CFDA number 98.001.
The competition is broadly open. USAID invites proposals from qualified U.S. and non-U.S. nongovernmental organizations, private voluntary organizations, public international organizations, for-profit organizations, and consortiums that may include U.S., local, and/or international partners. Eligibility is described as unrestricted in general terms, but applicants are still expected to meet the specific eligibility standards laid out in Section C of the full Notice of Funding Opportunity, and to submit all information required by the notice in order to be considered.
USAID anticipates making a single award, assuming funds are available. The expected number of awards is one, and the stated award ceiling is $2,500,000. Selection is competitive: the award would go to the responsible applicant whose submission best aligns with the program objectives and the evaluation criteria described in the notice. At the same time, USAID explicitly reserves the right to fund any application or none of the applications it receives, depending on its assessment and funding availability.
Key dates and submission logistics are clearly defined. Questions and requests for clarification were due by March 17, 2016, and applications were due on April 21, 2016 by 12:00 noon Manila, Philippines time. Questions had to be sent to the point(s) of contact listed in Section D of the notice. USAID indicated that responses to timely questions would be shared with all potential applicants through an amendment posted on Grants.gov, which means applicants were expected to monitor the listing for updates and official clarifications.
The notice emphasizes that the application package is hosted on Grants.gov and may be amended, so applicants were responsible for checking regularly to ensure they were working from the most current version. It also flags practical submission issues, such as needing Adobe software to open, complete, and save required forms correctly, and it places the burden on applicants to confirm they downloaded the entire notice and all required components. For technical problems with Grants.gov registration or access, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk (1-800-518-4726) or support@grants.gov.
Finally, the opportunity includes standard federal disclaimers and responsibility statements. USAID notes that issuing the notice does not obligate the government to make an award and does not commit it to reimburse any costs incurred to prepare questions or applications. Applicants submit at their own risk and expense. The recipient selected through this process would be responsible for delivering on the activity's objectives as described in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity. The notice is signed by Nathan Hilgendorf, Agreement Officer, Regional Office of Acquisition and Assistance.
