Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPNE 16 002
The FY 2016 Request for Concept Notes (PRM PRMOAPNE 16 002) is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) funding opportunity aimed at supporting refugees and other vulnerable populations in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. It is structured as a two-step competition process: organizations first submit a concept note, and only those concept notes that PRM selects will be invited to submit a full proposal. The resulting awards are expected to be issued as cooperative agreements, meaning PRM anticipates a more active partnership role than in a standard grant.
A central feature of this opportunity is that PRM will screen concept notes for strict compliance with both the Notice of Funding Opportunity and PRM's General NGO Guidelines, which lay out PRM priorities, sector definitions, and funding strategy. Concept notes that do not meet the requirements described in the Guidelines and the announcement will not be considered, so applicants are expected to align their program design, target groups, and implementation approach closely with PRM expectations from the start rather than waiting to refine alignment at the full proposal stage.
The geographic and beneficiary focus is clear: proposed activities must benefit refugees and other vulnerable populations in the four named countries. Projects are encouraged to be inclusive enough to support other local refugee populations as appropriate, including Palestinian refugees. A key restriction applies to location of beneficiaries: except for Iraq, proposed activities are limited to beneficiaries living outside government-run or UNHCR-run camps. In practical terms, this signals a priority for out-of-camp, community-based programming in Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, while Iraq is treated differently and may allow camp-based work depending on context.
PRM is also signaling an interest in sustainability and local ownership through capacity-building. Concept notes are encouraged to incorporate efforts that strengthen the ability of national actors, both government bodies and local NGOs, to respond to refugee and displacement-related needs. This can include training, systems strengthening, technical assistance, and other approaches that improve local institutions' ability to deliver or coordinate services beyond the period of PRM funding.
Program activities must fall within one or more of PRM's core sectors, as defined in the General NGO Guidelines. The allowable sectors for this opportunity are protection, education, healthcare, water/sanitation/hygiene (WASH), livelihoods, and shelter. Applicants can propose work in a single sector or combine sectors, but the concept note should clearly connect activities to identified needs and articulate how the intervention will produce measurable benefits for the intended population.
If selected at the concept note stage, applicants will be invited to submit either a single-year or multi-year full proposal. PRM specifies page limits at the full proposal stage: 15 pages for single-year proposals and 20 pages for multi-year proposals, and full submissions must include clear objectives, indicators, and detailed budgets for each project year. Selected organizations will have 30 calendar days from notification to complete and submit the full proposal, which effectively requires applicants to have a fairly mature program concept, staffing plan, and budget framework ready early.
In terms of eligibility, the opportunity is open to nonprofit organizations, including those with IRS 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as certain other eligible entities as defined in the listing. The assistance listing (CFDA) number is 19.519. The funding opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and the listed award ceiling is $4,000,000, indicating PRM may consider relatively large projects depending on the proposal and available funds. The original closing date for concept notes was February 4, 2016.
Finally, the announcement draws a firm boundary around who should apply through grants.gov. International multilateral organizations, including United Nations agencies, are explicitly instructed not to submit proposals via grants.gov under this announcement. Instead, multilateral organizations seeking funding for relevant programming are directed to contact the designated PRM Program Officer on or before the closing date, reinforcing that this particular solicitation is designed primarily for NGO implementers rather than UN entities.Apply for PRM PRMOAPNE 16 002
