LibTech--
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) at the U.S. Department of
State has just posted our annual open call for statements of interest (SOI) on
global Internet freedom programming. Please see the full solicitation for
details on how to apply: http://www.state.gov/j/drl/p/227048.htm .
The last couple of years, in an effort to make our funding more accessible to
new groups and responsive to changing needs on the ground, we have experimented
with different solicitation structures. This year, we have one solicitation
for ALL program themes, which include digital safety, advocacy, research, and
technology development.
In addition, there are two deadlines to submit Statement of Interests (SOI).
All SOIs must be received by July 1, 2014 and/or December 5, 2014.
Please feel welcome to reach out to the DRL IF team with any procedural
questions you may have regarding the solicitation, though to preserve the
competitive integrity of the process, please keep in mind that we won't be able
to discuss the merits or substance of any prospective proposals/SOIs.
**Please note that due to the nature of working on human rights in countries
that do not value fundamental freedoms and civil rights, part of our granting
philosophy is that we consider our grants to be sensitive. We understand that
in the human rights field (and Internet freedom in particular), direct
association with the USG could put our implementing partners in great danger.
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you very much, and we look forward to your submissions!
Sincerely,
Internet Freedom Programs at State/DRL {Steve Schultze, Laura Mottaz, Betsy
Bramon}
