Opportunity Summary:
The PRM NGO Projects in South Asia opportunity is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding announcement aimed at supporting assistance programs for Tibetan refugees living in South Asia, with the main geographic emphasis on India and Nepal and a smaller emphasis on Bhutan. The overall purpose is to fund NGO (and certain international organization) activities that align closely with PRM priorities for Tibetan refugee populations in the region. Proposed projects are expected to primarily benefit Tibetan refugees in South Asia, and PRM signals that especially competitive proposals will be those that address needs affecting Tibetan refugees in both India and Nepal. That said, applications focused on only India or only Nepal are also acceptable.
Programmatically, applicants must design proposals around at least one priority sector. The required sectors are Protection (explicitly including prevention of and response to gender based violence), Health and Nutrition, and Livelihoods (which can include education-related activities as part of livelihoods support). For Nepal-based programming, PRM also allows proposals in Water and Sanitation, reflecting an additional sector of need recognized in that country. In practical terms, this means an applicant should clearly anchor its work in one or more of these sectors and describe how the proposed activities will directly improve safety, well-being, and self-reliance outcomes for Tibetan refugees in the targeted locations.
PRM emphasizes implementation credibility and coordination as key competitive factors. Priority is given to organizations that can show a strong, proven track record delivering the type of assistance proposed, in the same sector and in the same geographic area, rather than organizations attempting to enter a new field or location without demonstrated capacity. PRM also expects evidence of active coordination with relevant international organizations (such as UNHCR), with other NGOs working in the same sector or area, and with local Tibetan authorities, including Tibetan settlement officers. The intent is to reduce duplication, improve coverage, and ensure projects fit within the broader refugee response landscape.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement instrument, which typically implies a closer working relationship with the U.S. government during implementation than a standard grant. The funding activity is categorized as refugee assistance, and it falls under CFDA 19.519 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia). The announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000, with an award floor of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $2,500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
Eligibility is limited to two main applicant types: (1) U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, and (2) International Organizations. PRM also notes that international organizations already running relevant programs should ensure those efforts are made known to PRM by the closing date so PRM can consider the full set of IO and NGO programming when making funding decisions.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of February 22, 2010, with an application closing date of March 30, 2010, and an archive date of April 29, 2010. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for the detailed requirements and to review PRMs general NGO guidelines on the PRM website. The listed point of contact for questions was Program Officer Rebecca Kinsey, reachable at 202-663-1950 or kinseyrt@state.gov.
