Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0007409
The FY 2021 Cultural Orientation Technical Assistance Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (SFOP0007409) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity released by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It supports a single, nationwide technical assistance effort focused on cultural orientation for refugees approved for admission to the United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. The central goal is to strengthen the connection between cultural orientation delivered overseas before travel and the reception and placement (R&P) services refugees receive after they arrive, so that pre-departure preparation and post-arrival support reinforce each other rather than operating in separate lanes.
Functionally, the program is meant to complement PRM's Reception and Placement Program, which is designed to promote effective resettlement and to help refugees move toward economic self-sufficiency, including gaining employment as quickly as possible. By improving linkages and continuity between overseas orientation content and domestic R&P activities, the CO Technical Assistance Program is intended to help refugees arrive better prepared for day-to-day life in the United States and to help U.S.-based service providers build on what refugees have already learned overseas. The emphasis is on alignment, coordination, and practical support that improves how cultural orientation is delivered and used across the resettlement pipeline.
PRM plans to make one award under a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the government anticipates substantial involvement or partnership with the recipient during implementation rather than issuing a more hands-off grant. The anticipated project period for the initial award runs from March 15, 2021 through March 14, 2022, contingent on available funding. PRM states it will provide full financial support to the selected organization based on the proposal submitted in response to the notice, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000. While only one award is expected, the funding can potentially continue beyond the first year: the agreement may be renewed for up to two additional years through annual budget submissions, assuming the program is still needed, performance remains strong, and funds remain available. After three years, PRM indicates it will re-compete the project if the need continues, and the current awardee would be allowed to compete again.
Key administrative details include a creation date of November 6, 2020 and an original application closing date of December 21, 2020. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.510. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants consult the full announcement for the specific eligibility language and any additional requirements. Overall, this notice is aimed at selecting a single organization capable of operating a high-impact technical assistance program that improves coordination and continuity between overseas cultural orientation and domestic resettlement services, thereby strengthening outcomes for refugees as they begin rebuilding their lives in the United States.Apply for SFOP0007409
