Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009616
The FY 2023 Notice of Funding Opportunity for Humanitarian Research (SFOP0009616) is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funding opportunity that supports targeted humanitarian research meant to improve how assistance and protection are designed and delivered in displacement settings. The opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally means the government expects to have substantial involvement during implementation (for example, coordination on research direction, deliverables, and dissemination). PRM frames the purpose of this research funding around three core goals: strengthening evidence-based decision-making on priority protection, assistance, and durable solutions challenges; building knowledge and producing practical guidance or tools that improve PRM and partner performance; and actively sharing findings so other humanitarian stakeholders can adopt the recommendations, guidance, and tools.
A key feature of this announcement is that it must be used alongside PRM's General NGO Guidelines, which define PRM priorities and its overall NGO funding approach. Applicants are expected to align proposed research activities with those guidelines and comply with PRM requirements. The notice is explicit that proposals that do not reflect the requirements in the General NGO Guidelines and this announcement will not be considered, so competitiveness depends not only on the quality of the research idea but also on strict adherence to PRM's compliance and strategic alignment expectations.
The research focus for this call is centered on displaced Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) persons, with proposals required to address at least one of several specified research questions. One priority area is identifying best practices for ethical, safe, and confidential methods to collect, manage, and report data on displaced LGBTQI people, recognizing the sensitivity and potential protection risks associated with data handling in humanitarian contexts. Another area seeks deeper understanding of the specific experiences and needs of LGB women, trans-men, and intersex persons during displacement and in humanitarian settings, paired with an applied emphasis on what best practices actually work for reaching and assisting these groups. A third area looks at how displacement intersects with health needs, including mental health, for LGBTQI persons, and asks applicants to identify best practices for assistance models that effectively meet those health needs in real-world humanitarian environments.
From an operational standpoint, the opportunity was created on March 30, 2023, with an original closing date of May 29, 2023. PRM anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $300,000. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice), and the CFDA number is 19.522. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with further details referenced in the eligibility section of the full announcement, meaning prospective applicants would need to confirm their eligibility status by reviewing the complete NOFO and any referenced PRM guidance.
Overall, this NOFO is designed for organizations capable of conducting rigorous, protection-sensitive humanitarian research and translating findings into practical outputs such as tools, operational guidance, and best practices that can be used by PRM, its implementing partners, and the broader humanitarian community. The central expectation is not just to study LGBTQI displacement issues, but to produce actionable, safely developed evidence that directly improves humanitarian programming, policy engagement, and accountability to affected populations.Apply for SFOP0009616
