Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor Grants Process Overview

httpwwwstategovgdrlpc23187htm The State Departments Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor (DRL) awards the vast majority of its program funds through open competition DRL publishes Requests for Statements of Interest (RSOIs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) on wwwgrantsgov and on the DRL website RSOIs and RFPs are usually tailored to include specific target countries themes and review criteria On occasion when a very specific need or timeframe dictates DRL may issue a limited source solicitation to qualified organizations with the required expertise and experience Organizations may submit unsolicited proposals for countries or themes that are not covered in DRLs RSOIs or RFPs but please note that these proposals are considered on case‐by‐case basis as time funding and priorities permit In order to obtain a wide array of innovative program ideas DRL typically uses a two‐step proposal system The RSOI posted on wwwgrantsgov and on the DRL website requests organizations to submit a two‐page concept paper or Statement of Interest (SOI) Review criteria and format requirements are included in each RSOI All SOIs deemed technically eligible are then reviewed by DRL



and the appropriate State Department regional bureaus DRL shares all SOIs with relevant posts and missions for their feedback Organizations that submitted SOIs and are deemed competitive based on the review criteria are notified In the notification DRL requests these organizations to submit a full proposal budget and budget narrative The full proposal must respond to DRLs Proposal Submission Instructions
