Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a discretionary award announced by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) under Funding Opportunity Number MCC 15GRA 0011, titled "Support the work of the recently formed not for profit Governance Data Alliance (Alliance)." The stated purpose is to support the Governance Data Alliance in developing an online, publicly available dashboard that presents country-specific governance data. In practical terms, the project centers on making governance-related indicators easier to access and compare by organizing source data into a single public-facing platform.
A key point of this notice is that it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. MCC issued it as a "Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source," meaning the agency is informing the public that it plans to fund the work without full and open competition. The intended recipient is Results for Development (R4D), identified as the single source for the award. Because of that sole-source structure, there is no standard applicant pool for this posting; the eligibility section effectively reiterates that MCC intends to make a single-source award to R4D rather than accept proposals from other organizations.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other," tied directly to the sole-source intent notice rather than a typical program solicitation. MCC anticipates one award with a total estimated funding amount of $75,000, and the award floor and ceiling are both set at $75,000, indicating a fixed expected award size. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The associated CFDA (assistance listing) number is 85.003, labeled "MCC Domestic Assistance for Overseas Programs," which signals the award is connected to MCC's broader mission of supporting development-related work that has an international focus.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted on April 13, 2015, created the same day, and carried an original and current closing date of April 17, 2015, with an archive date of April 18, 2015. These dates function more as public-notice milestones than as a true application window, since the announcement is explicitly not soliciting applications. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or having administrative questions is directed to the listed point of contact: H. Michael Stewart, Contracting Officer at MCC, reachable by phone at 202-772-6586 or by email at stewarthm@mcc.gov.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a formal transparency step: MCC publicly documenting its intention to issue a single, fixed-amount grant to R4D to support the early work of the Governance Data Alliance, specifically the creation of a publicly accessible governance data dashboard organized by country.
