Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMOAPEA 15 006
The FY 2016 Notice of Funding Opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: PRM PRMOAPEA 15 006) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It is designed to support NGO programs that assist urban refugees and asylum seekers in Thailand and Malaysia, with a primary emphasis on Burmese populations and other displaced groups, explicitly including Rohingya. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects a higher level of involvement during implementation than a standard grant (for example, coordination on objectives, reporting, and programmatic direction).
The central program requirement is that proposed activities must primarily benefit refugees and asylum seekers. PRM makes this measurable by setting a clear threshold: projects will only be considered if at least 50 percent of the intended beneficiaries are refugees or asylum seekers. This requirement reflects PRM's mandate to advance protection, humanitarian assistance, and sustainable solutions for people displaced by conflict and persecution. In practice, applicants need to be prepared to define their beneficiary population and demonstrate, through targeting and monitoring approaches, that refugees/asylum seekers make up at least half of those served.
Proposals must fall within one or more specific humanitarian sectors. The eligible sectors are: protection (including child protection and prevention and response to gender-based violence), healthcare, food and nutrition, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). This framing signals that PRM is looking for direct life-saving and protection-oriented interventions rather than broader development programming. Applicants would be expected to align their activities with PRM's General NGO Guidelines for sector definitions and to present a clear logic for how the proposed services reduce risk, meet basic needs, and improve safety and well-being for refugees and asylum seekers living in urban settings in Thailand and Malaysia.
Eligibility is geared toward non-governmental and non-profit implementers rather than multilateral institutions. The opportunity is open to U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and certain other eligible applicants as indicated in the listing. A notable restriction is that international multilateral organizations, including UN agencies, are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov under this announcement. Instead, multilateral organizations interested in related funding are directed to contact the designated PRM Program Officer prior to the closing date, indicating a separate coordination and submission pathway for those entities.
From a funding and timing perspective, the notice lists an award ceiling of $10,400,000 and an original closing date of October 23, 2015, with a creation date of September 23, 2015. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.511. While the notice does not specify the exact number of awards expected in the provided text, the ceiling suggests PRM anticipated potentially sizable awards or a portfolio of awards under the overall cap, depending on proposal scope, geographic coverage, and sectoral focus.
Overall, this opportunity targets NGO-led humanitarian programming for urban refugee and asylum-seeking communities in Thailand and Malaysia, with a strong requirement to prioritize refugee/asylum-seeker beneficiaries and to operate within core humanitarian sectors: protection, health, food/nutrition, and WASH. Organizations considering applying would need to demonstrate clear beneficiary targeting that meets the 50 percent threshold, articulate sector-specific interventions consistent with PRM guidelines, and be prepared to operate under a cooperative agreement structure with meaningful funder engagement.Apply for PRM PRMOAPEA 15 006
