FY 2021 Request for Concept Notes for NGO Programs Preventing, Preparing for, and Responding to COVID-19

This solicitation is the first step in a competitive two-part process. After reviewing concept notes, PRM will invite (no later than four weeks after submission) selected organizations to expand their submissions into full single-year (15-page) or multi-year (20-page) proposals for a second competitive review, with objectives, indicators, and detailed budgets for each year of the program. In this second step, selected organizations will have 30 calendar days after they are notified of their selection to submit their full proposals with objectives, indicators, and detailed budgets for each year of the program. Organizations may apply as consortia. For purposes of this notice, PRM considers a consortium to be a group of no fewer than three NGOs that comprise an agreement or group formed to undertake an assistance activity beyond the resources or expertise of any one member.

Current partner organizations already receiving PRM funding may apply for COVID funding available through this NOFO by requesting amendments to their current awards. Concept note applications selected for consideration as amendments to existing awards will follow the current PRM process for applying for award modifications. Organizations seeking amendments to existing awards should state this explicitly in their concept note. Request for full proposal development does not guarantee an award.
