Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) offered this discretionary grant opportunity titled "Promoting Transparency and Accountability in the NEA region" under Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 16 058. The program was designed to support a project (with an expectation of making a single award) focused on strengthening transparency and improving accountability across the NEA region. While the notice does not spell out a detailed program model or list specific countries in the text provided, the core intent is clear: fund work that advances open, accountable governance and related civic systems in the Near Eastern Affairs (NEA) area.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a grant, and the maximum possible award amount (the award ceiling) is $800,000. DRL indicated it expected to make 1 award, which typically implies a competitive selection process where one applicant proposal is chosen for funding at a relatively substantial level compared with smaller multi-award competitions. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA number 19.345, which is commonly associated with DRL democracy and human rights-related assistance.
Eligibility was broad across several common applicant categories. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). In practical terms, this meant universities and a wide range of civil society organizations could apply, provided they met the typical federal requirements for administering a U.S. government grant.
Key administrative dates for the competition were straightforward. The opportunity was created and posted on February 25, 2016, and the application deadline was April 22, 2016 (the original and current closing dates were the same, indicating no extension in the data shown). The issuing agency is listed as DOS-DRL, reflecting the Department of State office responsible for democracy, human rights, and labor programming.
Overall, the opportunity can be summarized as a DRL-funded, single-award grant competition (up to $800,000) intended to support one project that advances transparency and accountability objectives in the NEA region, open to qualifying nonprofits and higher-education institutions, with a submission window running from late February to late April 2016.
