Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in Europe opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PRM A 12 CA EUR 042111 EUROPE, CFDA 19.018) is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding announcement seeking proposals to operate the Moscow regional Resettlement Support Center (RSC) in Moscow, Russia. This RSC is a key part of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) infrastructure in the region, and its job is to carry out the hands-on refugee processing work that helps PRM and the U.S. government move eligible refugee cases from initial preparation through interview readiness and, for approved applicants, through the remaining steps required for admission to the United States under Section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The core purpose of the RSC is casework and processing support. Practically, that means assembling and managing refugee case files for individuals who may be interviewed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The RSC is expected to help ensure cases are properly prepared for USCIS adjudication and then, when cases are approved, to assist applicants with completing additional pre-admission requirements tied to USRAP processing. A second major function is data coordination: the RSC must forward required information on DHS-approved cases to the Refugee Processing Center (RPC), which then distributes cases to U.S. domestic Reception and Placement agencies according to PRM-established procedures so that resettlement partners can plan for arrivals and provide sponsorship assurances.
PRM anticipates making a single award under a Cooperative Agreement (not a standard grant), reflecting the expectation of ongoing coordination and substantial involvement between PRM and the selected organization in implementing the work. The initial project period is scheduled to run from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012, contingent on the availability of funds. PRM states it will provide full financial support to the selected organization based on the submitted proposal. The award may be renewed for up to two additional fiscal years through annual budget submissions, provided there is still a need for the Moscow RSC, performance remains satisfactory, and funds remain available. After three years, if the RSC is still needed, PRM plans to re-compete the project and the current awardee would be allowed to compete again.
Operationally, the selected organization is expected to deliver refugee processing services for all USRAP applicants handled through the designated location beginning October 1, 2011, and to do so regardless of nationality or ethnicity. The announcement also emphasizes fair and consistent coordination with all U.S. domestic resettlement agencies. In practice, that includes sharing relevant biographic and background information with Reception and Placement partners so they can complete required sponsorship and placement steps, and ensuring that case-related coordination is handled equitably across agencies rather than favoring particular domestic partners.
Eligibility is limited to two broad categories: (1) U.S.-based nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and (2) international organizations. The announcement also notes that international organizations already running programs relevant to refugee resettlement should ensure PRM is aware of those programs before the closing date so PRM can consider both NGO and IO efforts when making funding decisions. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of April 22, 2011, and a proposal deadline of Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at noon (12:00). The listing is categorized as discretionary funding, with the activity focus described as refugee resettlement. The award floor and ceiling are shown as 0 in the summary data, which typically signals that the exact funding level is defined in the full announcement or depends on the proposed budget and PRM determinations rather than being capped in the basic synopsis.
For applicants looking to move forward, PRM directs organizations to the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements and to PRMs general NGO guidelines hosted on PRMs Funding Opportunities webpage (http://www.state.gov/g/prm/c27111.htm). The point of contact named for questions is Program Officer Alden Greene (greeneas@state.gov, 202-453-9255), who is also listed as the contact for assistance if an applicant has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
