Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Support for Justice Sector Training," was a discretionary funding competition issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). The project focus was "Reinforcing Panama's Implementation of an Accusatory Justice System," meaning the funding was intended to strengthen Panama's transition to, or operation of, an accusatory (adversarial-style) criminal justice model through targeted training and related capacity-building support across the justice sector. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a closer working relationship between the funding agency and the award recipient than a standard grant, often involving ongoing coordination, shared planning, or substantial involvement by the agency during implementation. The activity category was listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 19.703, Criminal Justice Systems.
INL anticipated making up to 15 awards under this opportunity. Individual awards could be as high as $250,000 (the stated ceiling), with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, so applicants were not obligated to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, based on the information provided.
Eligibility was broad but location-specific. Eligible applicants included U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and additional categories referenced in the full announcement. The eligibility notes also indicate "OTHER" and mention a "Religiour Association" (as written in the source), and, most importantly, state that all organizations or institutions must be based in Panama or working in Panama. In practice, that condition narrows the pool to entities with an established operational presence in the country or a clear, credible ability to carry out programming there.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on December 2, 2014, with a creation date of December 16, 2014. The original and current closing date were both December 31, 2014, indicating the deadline did not change during the posting period. The archive date was January 30, 2015, meaning the opportunity was no longer active after that point.
For applicant support, the notice provided an INL point of contact for submission-instruction questions: Manuel Leon, reachable at LeonMA2@state.gov. The announcement also noted that applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically could request assistance through the provided contact channel.
