Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0010248
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity focused on Uzbekistan under the title "DRL Increase Access to Due Process in Uzbekistan" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0010248). The core aim is to support projects that improve transparency around citizens' rights to due process, meaning practical efforts that help people better understand, access, and exercise legal protections and fair treatment within the justice system. The opportunity is positioned as a competitive call, so applicants are expected to propose a clear, outcomes-driven project that fits DRL's democracy and human rights mission and that can demonstrate measurable impact related to due process transparency.
This is a grant-funded program (rather than a contract), with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an expectation that one award will be made. The program is listed under CFDA number 19.345, which is associated with State Department assistance programming. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," which generally signals that the work may be cross-cutting and not limited to a single narrow sector, as long as it supports the stated objective of increasing transparency and access related to due process rights in Uzbekistan.
Eligibility is broad. DRL invites applications from both U.S.-based and non-U.S.-based organizations, including non-profit organizations and NGOs, public international organizations, and private or public institutions of higher education (including state universities). For-profit organizations and businesses are also eligible to apply. Even though for-profits can apply, DRL notes a preference to work with non-profit entities, while leaving room for situations where a for-profit may be uniquely qualified to deliver the proposed work. In practice, that means applicants should be prepared to justify why their organization is the right vehicle to achieve the project goals, especially if they are applying as a for-profit.
Key dates and administrative details include an opportunity creation date of March 11, 2024, and an original application closing date of May 10, 2024. The funding is administered by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor within the U.S. Department of State. Overall, this opportunity is designed for organizations that can propose a credible, locally informed approach to improving public understanding and visibility of due process rights and related procedures in Uzbekistan, and that can translate that approach into concrete activities and measurable results within a grant framework.Apply for SFOP0010248
