Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0010194
The DRL FY23 Burma Programs - Statements of Interest opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0010194) is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) request for Statements of Interest (SOIs) for potential grant-funded programming focused on advancing human rights and democracy in Burma. Rather than immediately calling for full proposals, DRL is first asking interested organizations to submit an SOI that outlines their concept and qualifications, which DRL can use to gauge fit, capacity, and alignment with the bureau's objectives for Burma-related democracy and human rights work.
This is a discretionary grant opportunity, listed under CFDA 19.345, and it is open to a wide range of applicants. Eligible organizations include U.S.- or foreign-based nonprofits and NGOs, public international organizations, and private or public institutions of higher education (including state institutions). For-profit entities may also apply, but they should be aware that U.S. government financial assistance has specific limits and compliance requirements related to fees and profit, with particular reference in the notice to the federal cost standards and principles found in 48 CFR 30 (Cost Accounting Standards Administration) and 48 CFR 31 (Contract Cost Principles and Procedures). In practical terms, this means for-profits must structure budgets and cost accounting in a way that complies with federal allowability rules and any restrictions applicable to grants and cooperative agreements.
A key expectation of the RSOI is that applicants either already have, or can credibly build, active partnerships with thematic experts or in-country partners and other relevant stakeholders. The opportunity explicitly highlights collaboration with entities and stakeholders that may include private sector partners and NGOs, signaling that DRL values implementers who can operate through networks, coalitions, and local or regional relationships, especially in challenging operating environments. Applicants also need to demonstrate a track record of successfully administering programs, preferably those that are similar in nature, scope, or complexity to the proposed Burma-related work. DRL notes it may request additional background from organizations that lack prior experience managing federal awards, which effectively puts newer federal applicants on notice that they should be prepared to document financial controls, compliance systems, and administrative capacity.
The listing provides an award ceiling of $1,726,689, which indicates the maximum size of an individual award under this opportunity, although it does not guarantee that awards will be made at that level. The posting shows "Expected Awards: 0," which can reflect that the agency is not committing to a set number of awards at the time of the notice, may be using the SOI stage to determine whether to proceed to full proposals, or may make awards depending on funding availability and the quality of submissions. The original closing date for submitting the Statement of Interest is February 26, 2024, and the opportunity was created on January 18, 2024.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an initial intake process for organizations that want to run Burma-focused democracy and human rights programming with DRL support. Competitive SOIs will typically be those that clearly describe a feasible program concept tied to human rights and democratic outcomes, demonstrate credible partnerships and access to relevant stakeholders, and show strong operational and compliance capacity to manage U.S. government assistance responsibly.Apply for SFOP0010194
