Opportunity Information: Apply for 72048620RFA00001
The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled Assistance to Ethnic Tibetans in People's Republic of China (Funding Opportunity Number 72048620RFA00001) was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development's Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA) based in Bangkok, Thailand. It was posted as an earmark opportunity on Grants.gov under CFDA 98.001, with the activity category listed as Community Development. USAID is requesting summary applications from qualified organizations to carry out programming intended to assist ethnic Tibetans in the People's Republic of China, with awards made only if funds are available and fully approved through USAID's internal processes.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a Cooperative Agreement, which the NOFO notes is treated as synonymous with a "grant" for the purposes of the announcement (and likewise, "grantee" equals "recipient," and "grant officer" equals "agreement officer"). USAID anticipates making up to two awards to the applicants whose submissions best align with the stated objectives and meet the selection criteria described in the NOFO. The total award ceiling listed for the opportunity is $16,000,000, and the expected number of awards is two, meaning the funding could be split across two cooperative agreements depending on the final decisions and proposed approaches.
Key dates are clearly laid out. The issue date was May 18, 2020. Questions from prospective applicants were due by May 28, 2020, and applications were due on June 17, 2020 at 4:00 PM (GMT+7). The NOFO emphasizes that any questions must be submitted in writing by email to the point of contact identified in the application and submission section of the NOFO, and that answers to questions would be shared publicly through an amendment posted on Grants.gov. Applicants are also advised to routinely check Grants.gov for updates or amendments, since USAID may modify the opportunity after posting.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is broadly open to various entity types, but still subject to the specific eligibility requirements and any clarifications contained in the NOFO text (particularly Section C, Eligibility Information). Applicants are instructed to read the full announcement carefully to understand what kind of program USAID is seeking, what must be included in a compliant submission, and how USAID will evaluate and select applications. The NOFO also stresses that applicants are responsible for ensuring they have the full and complete version of the opportunity documents as posted online, and that USAID does not take responsibility for transmission or conversion errors that might occur when downloading materials.
Finally, the announcement includes standard federal grant language making clear that issuing the NOFO does not guarantee an award and does not commit the U.S. Government to reimburse any costs associated with preparing or submitting an application. All proposal development costs are borne by the applicant. Any award that results from this competition would only be made after funding has been appropriated, allocated, and formally committed. The NOFO is signed by the Regional Agreement Officer, William Sedlak, on behalf of USAID/RDMA in Bangkok.Apply for 72048620RFA00001
