| Description: | The U.S. Department of State Bureau of East Asia Pacific Affairs (EAP) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for a series of small environmental awards to support local and regional small-scale environmental projects via the Regional Environmental Offices in Bangkok and Suva, at $24,999 or less per award. These awards are funded through EAP regional foreign assistance monies, and managed by the Regional Environment, Science, Technology and Health (ESTH) Officers posted to Bangkok for Northeast and Southeast Asia; and Suva for the Pacific Island states. While EAP favors projects for countries in the East Asia and Pacific region that are multilateral in nature and that demonstrate results that can be scaled-up, leveraged, or extrapolated for follow-up (or larger) efforts, we will also consider bilateral projects for countries that receive little or no foreign assistance. However, such countries must be eligible to receive U.S. foreign assistance.EAP may issue one or more awards resulting from this NOFO to the applicant(s) whose application(s) conforming to this NOFO are the most responsive to the objectives set forth in this NOFO. The U.S. government may (a) reject any or all applications, (b) accept other than the lowest cost application, (c) accept more than one application, (d) accept alternate applications, and (e) waive informalities and minor irregularities in applications received.The U.S. government may make award(s) on the basis of initial applications received, without discussions or negotiations. Therefore, each initial application should contain the applicant’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint. The U.S. government reserves the right (though it is not under obligation to do so), however, to enter into discussions with one or more applicants in order to obtain clarifications, additional detail, or to suggest refinements in the project description, budget, or other aspects of an application.EAP welcomes applications from U.S.-based and foreign-based non-profit organizations/nongovernment organizations (NGO) and public international organizations; private, public, or state institutions of higher education; and for-profit organizations or businesses. EAP’s preference is to work with non-profit entities; however, there may be occasions when a for-profit entity is best suited.For-profit entities should be aware that its application may be subject to additional review following the panel selection process and that the Department of State generally prohibits profit under its assistance awards to for-profit or commercial organizations. Profit is defined as any amount in excess of allowable direct and indirect costs.Other items of note:• Grants cannot be awarded for research projects. • Conducting training is allowed.• Grants can be awarded to universities, NGO/CSOs or even an individual.• Grants cannot be awarded to government agencies, offices or departments.• For profit organization may apply, but are subject to further review.• The SF-424 forms must be completed and submitted along with the grant application.• The grant recipient information must be the same on the SF-424 and the grant application.• All fields on the SF-424 and the grant application must be completed in English.• All grantees will need a DUNS number. This can be done on line and is free. |
