Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, through its International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Section (INL), offered a discretionary grant to support the delivery of a Regional Women in Policing Conference. The funded effort was designed as a short, three-month project focused on the practical organization of a 2.5-day annual training event called "Women in Policing." The conference itself is intended to provide advanced and specialized training along with professional development opportunities for female police personnel drawn from multiple countries, with subject matter centered on law enforcement topics.
This opportunity was not aimed at funding broad programmatic reform or long-term training pipelines; instead, it concentrated on the behind-the-scenes services that make a regional conference run effectively. The award recipient would be responsible for conference administration, participant registration processes, and evaluation support. In practice, that typically means planning and coordinating logistics, managing attendee sign-ups and communications, supporting event operations during the conference, and collecting and analyzing feedback or other evaluation data to measure outcomes and improve future iterations.
The grant was structured as a single award with a fixed budget: the award floor and ceiling were both set at $75,000, indicating INL expected to make one grant at that amount rather than a range of different award sizes. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible or competitive on that basis.
Eligibility was broad across organizational types, covering U.S. and Georgian entities. Eligible applicants included non-governmental/nonprofit organizations (both those with and without U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those categories), public international organizations, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). The funding activity category was listed under Law, Justice, and Legal Services, reflecting the conference's focus on building capacity and professional skills within policing.
Key dates show the notice was posted on November 27, 2013, with a proposal deadline of December 27, 2013, and an archive date of January 26, 2014.
