Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "PRM NGO Programs Assisting Iraqi Refugee Populations - second solicitation" to support humanitarian projects serving Iraqi refugees in the Near East region. This announcement specifically targets Iraqi refugee populations in Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, while also leaving room for proposals in other countries hosting significant Iraqi refugee communities. It represents PRM's second call for proposals focused on Iraqi refugees during fiscal year 2008, signaling an effort to expand or reinforce ongoing assistance in response to continued displacement and humanitarian needs.
PRM is looking for proposals from organizations with a demonstrated ability to deliver refugee assistance effectively, with a clear preference for applicants that already have well-established operations in the country where the project would take place. In practical terms, this means the bureau is prioritizing implementers that can move quickly, coordinate locally, and operate with proven administrative and programmatic systems in the field. The eligible applicant pool includes U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as international organizations. The announcement also notes that submissions from international organizations would be handled under PRM's established authorities and procedures for voluntary contributions, which can affect how awards are structured and administered.
The solicitation highlights three program areas that PRM has identified for funding consideration. First are programs that expand access to existing health care services, which suggests an emphasis on reducing barriers refugees face when trying to use host-country health systems, such as cost, availability, and referral pathways. Second are vocational, non-formal, and informal education programs, which indicates support for practical skills development, employability training, community-based learning, and education options outside formal school systems. Third are broader humanitarian assistance and protection activities, a category that commonly includes core relief support and measures aimed at safeguarding refugees from harm, improving access to services, and addressing vulnerabilities through protection-oriented interventions.
Awards under this opportunity are expected to be made as cooperative agreements, meaning PRM anticipates substantial involvement in project oversight or collaboration rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The funding range runs from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $3,000,000 per award, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, lowering the barrier for organizations that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal resources. The program is categorized under CFDA 19.519, "Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia," and the activity category is refugee assistance.
Key administrative dates for the announcement include a posted and creation date of May 2, 2008, with an application deadline of June 2, 2008, and an archive date of July 2, 2008. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, PRM provided a direct contact: Jay Zimmerman, Program Officer, at 202-663-1037. The notice also points applicants to the full Grants.gov announcement for detailed requirements and to PRM's general NGO guidelines through the Grants.gov "How to Apply" materials.
