Deadline: 15 May 2014
The United States Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration is inviting proposals from eligible entities to apply for grant opportunity on Innovative Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Global Capacity Building and Research projects.
GBV is an umbrella term covering a range of abuses perpetrated against individuals based on gender and gender norms, including (but not limited to) sexual violence, sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), female genital mutilation, domestic or intimate partner violence, and violence related to sexual orientation or gender identify (SOGI).
Application can be made for programs from 12 to 36 months with clear activities and budget for the duration.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status with IRS, other than institutions of higher education; international organizations; and institutions of higher education are eligible to apply for the grants.
- The call is limited to proposals for globally-relevant capacity building, research, assessment or evaluation projects that will strengthen the international community’s ability to reduce and effectively respond to GBV, rather than building the capacity of a specific or single organization or project.
- Proposed project must seek to build the capacity of international organizations (IOs), NGOs, and their implementing partners to prevent and/or respond to GBV in protracted settings with worldwide application and/or implications.
- Proposals must involve research on current gaps and challenges related to GBV in protracted emergencies that could inform and strengthen PRM’s and/or the international community’s policy and programming for GBV prevention and response in protracted settings.
- Proposed project must conduct impact assessments or external evaluations (prospective or retrospective) of GBV interventions that can test the impact and outcomes of global GBV response with a goal of informing and strengthening future programming in protracted settings.
- In case of multi-year project, the proposal must make a compelling case for the necessity of multi-year support and demonstrate how the work undertaken in year one will inform/guide the activities proposed in year two, etc., and should indicate why a longer timeframe is critically important.
- Applications must be submitted via grants.gov except for the international multilateral organizations.
