Opportunity Information: Apply for PRM PRMUSRAP 17 001
The FY 2017 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Reception and Placement (R and P) Program is a U.S. Department of State funding announcement issued through the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). It invites proposals from qualified nonprofit organizations to help carry out the initial reception and placement of people arriving in the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). In practical terms, the opportunity is about ensuring that newly arrived refugees are met, supported, and connected to essential services so they can begin stabilizing and integrating into their new communities.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using the Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, which typically means the government expects substantial involvement in program oversight, coordination, and performance monitoring compared with a standard grant. The funding activity is categorized as "Other" and is listed under CFDA 19.510. The announcement sets a proposal submission deadline of May 20, 2016 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Daylight Time. The listing notes an award ceiling of 0, which generally indicates the ceiling amount is not specified in the summary data and applicants should rely on the full announcement for detailed budgeting and award structure.
The program purpose is clearly centered on successful reception and placement for all individuals admitted under USRAP. For the purposes of this announcement, "refugee" is defined using U.S. immigration law: a person admitted under section 207(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, or a person who has been extended eligibility for resettlement assistance by statute even if they were not admitted under that exact provision. This definition matters because it signals who may be served using program-supported resources and helps applicant organizations align their service populations, eligibility documentation, and compliance practices with federal requirements.
PRM indicates it intends to award FY 2017 cooperative agreements to well-qualified nonprofit organizations that can deliver a range of required services through networks that span multiple locations across the United States. The emphasis on a nationwide or multi-site footprint reflects how the R and P system relies on coordinated national organizations and their local affiliates to receive arrivals in many different communities. PRM also states that organizations with satisfactory performance under previous agreements may be included, but it does not limit eligibility to prior participants. At the same time, the announcement makes a point of clarifying that participation in the FY 2016 R and P Program is neither required nor a guarantee of continued participation in FY 2017, signaling that PRM intends to treat this as a competitive process based on current qualifications and performance factors.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations holding IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Beyond basic eligibility, PRM lays out specific threshold expectations that applicants must meet to be considered. Applicants must be well-established social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise, and they must show experience managing a network of affiliates that provide reception and placement services or similar supports for refugees or other migrant populations in the United States. They must have operated for at least three full years as a 501(c)(3) organization, demonstrating organizational maturity and operational stability. They must also document the availability of private financial resources to contribute to the program, which signals that PRM expects cost participation or complementary private support to strengthen service delivery. Finally, applicants must operate multiple locations across the U.S., reinforcing that awards are intended for organizations capable of coordinating consistent service standards and coverage across a broad geographic network.
Overall, this funding opportunity is designed to support the front-end infrastructure of refugee resettlement by selecting nonprofit partners that can reliably provide coordinated initial services across many communities, backed by strong case management capacity, proven network management experience, organizational longevity, and the ability to leverage private resources. For full operational requirements, deliverables, evaluation criteria, and any detailed guidance on allowable costs or per-capita structures, PRM directs applicants to the complete announcement available through the Grants.gov "Full Announcement" link.Apply for PRM PRMUSRAP 17 001
