Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Programs to Support the Judiciary and Rule of Law" was a discretionary funding competition administered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It was designed to fund projects in the law, justice, and legal services sector, specifically focused on strengthening judicial institutions and advancing rule of law outcomes in selected countries. The announcement indicates that the details were organized as country-specific opportunities and that applicants were expected to rely on the attached Request for Applications (RFA) for the substantive program descriptions, required activities, and any country-tailored priorities.
Funding was to be provided through cooperative agreements, which typically means the government expected to have substantial involvement during implementation rather than providing a hands-off grant. In practice, that usually translates into closer coordination with INL on work plans, performance measures, deliverables, and possibly approval of key elements as the project proceeds. The assistance was categorized under CFDA number 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems), signaling that the overall purpose was to improve the functioning, integrity, and effectiveness of justice-sector systems and institutions.
The opportunity anticipated making around five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,400,000. Individual awards could range from a floor of $200,000 up to a ceiling of $3,600,000, suggesting the competition could support both smaller targeted interventions and larger multi-component programs, depending on the country needs and the approach proposed. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although voluntary leveraged support is sometimes viewed positively depending on the evaluation criteria described in the RFA.
The timeline was relatively tight. The opportunity was posted on February 2, 2012, with an original closing date of March 1, 2012, later revised. Full proposals were due no later than March 9, 2012 for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Serbia, and no later than March 15, 2012 for Tajikistan. The archive date was March 31, 2012, indicating when the announcement was scheduled to be removed from active listings once the competition window closed.
Eligibility was not described in detail in the summary fields and was instead listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." The announcement also directs applicants to the attached RFA for applicant/organization eligibility requirements. This implies that eligibility may have been limited to certain types of organizations (for example, nonprofits, NGOs, international organizations, educational institutions, or other entities commonly used for rule-of-law programming), and that any restrictions or documentation requirements were spelled out in the full RFA rather than in the brief synopsis.
For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Price, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-776-8743, with an email contact indicated as a Department of State address (shown as "DOS email" in the provided text). Overall, the synopsis makes clear that the central content, country priorities, and application instructions were contained in the attached Request for Applications, and that prospective applicants were expected to use that RFA to determine the specific program focus and compliance requirements for the relevant country competition.
