Opportunity Summary:
The West Bank Jessup Moot Court Competition grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL 15GR0020 INLJERUSALEM 04032015) was a discretionary grant solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). The purpose was to fund organizations to design and run a national-level Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition for Palestinian law students across the West Bank. Rather than prescribing a single fixed program model, INL invited applicants to propose their own program design for implementing the Jessup national competition, meaning applicants were expected to lay out the competition structure, operational plan, partnerships, and management approach needed to deliver the event(s) and support participating students.
The funding instrument was a grant, categorized under the activity area of Law, Justice and Legal Services, with a CFDA listing of 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems). The award ceiling was $800,000 and the award floor was listed as $0, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity anticipated multiple awards (expected awards: 10), indicating INL may have planned to support more than one implementer, multiple components, or a mix of implementing partners depending on proposal strength and available funding.
Eligibility was open to a range of applicant types, including U.S. nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. The detailed eligibility criteria emphasized organizational capacity and compliance: applicants could be a registered U.S. nonprofit with 501(c)(3) status (including civil society organizations, foreign NGOs, religious associations, or educational institutions), a U.S. university or research institution meeting the 501(c)(3) provisions, or a local in-country organization able to demonstrate strong programmatic capacity and meet reporting requirements. Local organizations were expected to show valid country registration. INL also highlighted a preference for demonstrated experience administering successful technical assistance projects, ideally in the requested country/region or in similarly challenging environments, and it reserved the right to request additional background information from organizations without prior federal award experience. Such organizations could be limited to pilot-level funding initially. Applicants were also expected to have existing partnerships in the target area or the capacity to build them, and to show experience implementing education support projects in the West Bank or the region, preferably with the communities addressed in the proposal.
The timeline for the opportunity reflects a 2015 cycle: it was posted on April 3, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 3, 2015, and an archive date of July 3, 2015 (creation date May 19, 2015).
