Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006356
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity called "Fixed Amount Awards for Human Rights, Accountability, and Access to Information in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) Round 2" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006356). The program is structured as an open competition, meaning DRL is inviting eligible organizations to submit proposals for projects that advance a specific policy objective focused on North Korea: strengthening human rights, supporting accountability efforts, and expanding access to information for or about people affected by the DPRK system.
This opportunity uses a Fixed Amount Award (FAA) approach, which typically means applicants propose a set of defined activities with clear deliverables and a fixed price tied to those deliverables, rather than a traditional cost-reimbursement model. In practice, this structure is often intended to simplify budgeting and payment by linking funding to completion of agreed milestones or outputs. The listed funding instrument type is "Other," which aligns with the FAA format rather than a standard grant category.
The primary thematic priorities are explicitly stated: human rights, accountability, and access to information in the DPRK context. While the notice does not provide detailed examples of activities in the excerpted text, the framing indicates DRL is seeking practical, project-based interventions that contribute to documenting or addressing human rights conditions, enabling pathways for accountability for abuses, and improving the flow of independent or credible information to audiences affected by or concerned with North Korea.
Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $150,000 per award. The opportunity was created on January 13, 2020, with an original application closing date of March 6, 2020. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 19.345, which corresponds to DRL-related assistance programming. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement (not included in the provided excerpt). The notice lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which can appear in postings when the agency does not commit in advance to a set number of awards, when awards depend on the quality of applications and available funding, or when the posting format does not capture the planned number of awards cleanly.
Overall, this Round 2 solicitation is a targeted DRL funding call designed to support concrete, deliverable-driven projects that align with U.S. policy goals related to human rights conditions in North Korea, efforts to promote accountability for violations, and initiatives that expand access to trustworthy information in one of the most restrictive information environments in the world.Apply for SFOP0006356
