Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008110
The FY 2022 Notice of Funding Opportunity (SFOP0008110) from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) seeks organizations to operate Resettlement Support Centers (RSCs) that help run the front-end case processing for refugees being considered for resettlement to the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). In practical terms, these RSCs act as PRM's on-the-ground partners in specific regions, assembling and managing the casework that allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to interview refugee applicants and make adjudication decisions. The core goal is to ensure refugee cases are prepared accurately, efficiently, and in a way that supports both U.S. government vetting requirements and eventual coordination with resettlement agencies in the United States.
The work supported by this opportunity centers on preparing refugee applicants for USCIS interviews and, for applicants who are approved, helping them complete the remaining statutory and program requirements for admission to the United States under Section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The notice highlights several examples of these downstream requirements, including ensuring that required security checks are initiated, facilitating the completion of medical examinations, and arranging cultural orientation prior to travel. Beyond these process steps, the RSC is also responsible for collecting, maintaining, and managing case data. That data function matters because it helps U.S.-based resettlement agencies receive timely and accurate information needed to plan reception and placement services once refugees arrive.
PRM intends to make four separate cooperative agreement awards, one for each regional RSC: RSC Africa (based in Nairobi, Kenya), RSC Asia (based in Bangkok, Thailand), RSC Eurasia (based in Kyiv, Ukraine), and RSC Latin America (based in San Salvador, El Salvador). Each award is intended for an initial 12-month project period running from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, contingent on funding availability. While the initial period is one year, PRM indicates that each award may be extended for up to two additional fiscal years, potentially carrying operations through September 30, 2024, if performance and funding allow.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement (not a simple grant), which generally signals a closer working relationship with the federal agency during implementation, including substantial involvement by PRM in overseeing or coordinating aspects of the work. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding under CFDA number 19.018, with PRM listed as the issuing agency. The notice states that PRM will provide full financial support to the selected organization for each RSC, based on the applicant's submitted proposal, although the public summary data provided here lists an award ceiling of 0 (often meaning the ceiling is not specified in the extracted record rather than that no funds are available).
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others" in the opportunity data, but there is an explicit restriction for international multilateral organizations, such as United Nations agencies. Those multilateral entities are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov in response to this notice; instead, if they seek funding related to the announcement, they are directed to contact the PRM Program Officer identified in the full funding opportunity text before the closing date. For other applicants, proposals were due by the original closing date of July 9, 2021, with the opportunity record created on May 6, 2021.
Overall, this funding opportunity is about selecting one implementing partner per region to run the operational backbone of USRAP case preparation in key global processing hubs, ensuring that refugee cases are interview-ready for USCIS, that approved applicants complete medical, security, and orientation steps needed for travel, and that accurate data flows to U.S. resettlement agencies to support successful arrivals and integration planning.Apply for SFOP0008110
