Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 17 002
The FY 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled "FY 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity for NGO programs benefiting refugees in Chad and Cameroon" (Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPAF 17 002) is a discretionary U.S. government grant competition run by the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the funder expects more substantial involvement in program oversight and coordination than with a standard grant. The program is listed under CFDA 19.517 and was created on January 13, 2017, with an application closing date of March 24, 2017.
The main purpose of the opportunity is to support programs in Chad and/or Cameroon that deliver protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for people displaced by conflict. PRM is specifically looking for activities that primarily benefit defined refugee populations: in Chad, refugees from Sudan and/or the Central African Republic (CAR); and in Cameroon, refugees from Nigeria and/or CAR. In practice, this frames the geographic and beneficiary focus quite tightly, emphasizing refugee response operations connected to these major displacement crises in the region.
A central eligibility and design requirement is that proposed projects must have a beneficiary population that is at least 50 percent refugees. PRM states this explicitly as a reflection of its mandate to serve refugees and victims of conflict, and it signals that proposals centered mostly on host communities would not be competitive or may be deemed ineligible unless refugees make up at least half of the direct target beneficiaries. Programs can potentially include host-community components, but the refugee share has to remain at or above that 50 percent threshold in the target beneficiary base.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also includes "Others," which typically indicates the agency may allow additional organization types depending on PRM policy and the specific NOFO instructions, but the clearly named core audience is NGOs rather than universities. The NOFO is aimed at implementing partners capable of delivering refugee-focused interventions in the specified countries and for the specified populations.
The notice also provides an important instruction regarding international multilateral organizations. United Nations agencies and similar multilateral entities are told not to submit proposals through 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. This clarifies that the Grants.gov competition route is intended for NGOs and similar applicants, while multilaterals should pursue funding through direct coordination with PRM staff.
In terms of funding scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,000,000, meaning PRM anticipates that individual awards under this NOFO would not exceed one million dollars. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided text, so applicants would need to consult the full announcement for details on anticipated total funding, the expected number of awards, and any guidance on typical award sizes or program durations. Overall, the NOFO is focused on practical, field-oriented refugee assistance and protection programming in Chad and Cameroon, with a strict requirement that refugees constitute the majority of intended beneficiaries and a clear separation between NGO applicants using Grants.gov and multilateral organizations coordinating directly with PRM.Apply for PRM PRMOAPAF 17 002
