The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor is soliciting proposals under DFOP0019542 to enhance the capacity of countries and institutions in Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe to safeguard freedom of expression, political pluralism, and national self-government, aligning with the U.S. National Security Strategy’s focus on bolstering healthy democracies through political collaboration and cultural exchange. Proposals must be submitted by August 21, 2026, via Grants.gov or MyGrants, and applicants must hold an active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and be registered in SAM.gov; foreign entities are exempt from NCAGE code requirements unless engaged with the Department of Defense. The anticipated award period spans 12 to 24 months, with a projected start date of September 30, 2026, and performance must occur across targeted European nations without restriction to a single location. Proposals must address specific objectives through a structured narrative not exceeding 15 pages, including a problem statement, project design, logic model, key personnel with justification and biosketches capped at two pages each, and a timeline limited to one page, all formatted in 12-point Times New Roman with one-inch margins and submitted in English. Budgets must follow the Federal Financial Report format, include a detailed line-item breakdown in Excel, and may incorporate indirect costs at a de minimis rate of 10% of Modified Total Direct Costs if no NICRA is held, or through an approved NICRA if available. Direct costs must be clearly justified, with no double-charging permitted between direct and indirect expense categories; equipment purchases over $10,000 require prior justification and insurance compliance with 2 CFR 200, while supplies under $10,000 must be separately tracked. Travel funded by the award must comply with the Fly America Act. The evaluation is based on six merit factors—program quality and feasibility, organizational capacity, planning ability, budget reasonableness, monitoring and evaluation rigor, and sustainability—with no numerical weighting assigned and no competitive ranking among applicants, instead relying on a trade-off approach centered on program impact and organizational readiness. Risk assessments will evaluate financial stability, management systems, prior performance, and audit history. Proposals must include certifications regarding lobbying activity, compliance with U.S. anti-discrimination laws, adherence to the Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance policy, and disclosure of foreign public entity or unmanned aircraft system use
