CategoryExplanation: Overseas Refugee Assistance
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: (1) International Organizations.  International Organizations (IOs) should not submit proposals through Grants.gov in response to this Funding Opportunity Announcement.  Rather IOs such as UN agencies and other Public International Organizations (PIOs) that are seeking funding for programs relevant to this announcement should contact the relevant PRM Program Officer (as listed below) on or before the closing date of the funding announcement.
Description: Limited Funding is available through the U.S. Department of State&apos;s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) for proposals for globally-relevant capacity building, research, assessment, or evaluations projects that will strengthen the international humanitarian community&apos;s ability to reduce and effectively respond to gender-based violence (GBV) among PRM populations of concern. To maximize global reach, activities should involve multiple locations and, when possible, multiple partners. Proposals must: 1) Seek to build the capacity of NGO and implementing partners to prevent and respond to GBV with worldwide application and/or implications; and/or 2) Involve research, assessments or external evaluations (prospective or retrospective), that could inform and strengthen PRM and/or the international community?s policy and programming for GBV prevention and response. Such research, assessments, or evaluations should be conducted in an academically rigorous manner, include concrete policy and program recommendations for relevant humanitarian stakeholders, focus on PRM populations of concern, and include dissemination/roll-out strategies. NOTE: This funding is not intended to build the capacity of a specific or single organization. Proposals for GBV preventions and/or response efforts serving refugee and conflict-affected populations in specific geographic locations should be submitted through a separate application process.
