Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009081
The grant opportunity titled "Supporting Efforts to Secure Justice for Sri Lanka" is a U.S. Department of State funding program run through the Office of Global Criminal Justice (J/GCJ). Its core purpose is to advance justice and accountability efforts related to serious international crimes, with a specific focus here on Sri Lanka. J/GCJ frames this work as part of a broader mandate to prevent atrocities, reduce or address the harm they cause, and strengthen respect for human dignity and long-term stability. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to reinforce justice processes that can help respond to atrocity crimes committed during periods of armed conflict and under repressive governance, recognizing that credible accountability mechanisms can play a central role in reconciliation and rule of law.
This funding supports implementation of the justice and accountability portions of United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Resolution 46/1, "Promoting reconciliation, accountability and human rights in Sri Lanka." While the notice does not list specific program activities line-by-line, the intent is clear: applicants are expected to propose work that meaningfully contributes to justice and accountability outcomes consistent with the resolution. That typically implies efforts that strengthen the ability of relevant actors to document and preserve information, support credible pathways to accountability, and reinforce processes that make it harder for serious violations to be ignored or repeated. The opportunity emphasizes process strengthening, meaning projects should focus on improving how justice-related work is carried out rather than simply producing standalone reports or short-term advocacy deliverables.
Administratively, this is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates a more engaged relationship between the funder and the recipient than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement commonly involves substantial involvement by the federal agency during implementation, such as coordination on work planning, monitoring, or alignment with policy objectives. The program is structured as a single award, meaning only one recipient is expected to be selected. The maximum funding amount (award ceiling) is $1,000,000, and the listing identifies one expected award, so this is a comparatively large, focused investment rather than a broad multi-recipient competition.
The opportunity is cataloged under Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009081 and CFDA number 19.990, with the funding activity category labeled as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement). The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," indicating eligibility is defined in additional instructions in the official notice rather than limited to a common pre-set group like state governments or universities. The funding opportunity was created on June 23, 2022, and the original application closing date was July 25, 2022, which places it within a specific funding cycle and suggests it was intended to move quickly from solicitation to selection.
Overall, the opportunity can be understood as a targeted, single-recipient cooperative agreement aimed at advancing the international justice and accountability agenda related to Sri Lanka, specifically aligned with UNHRC Resolution 46/1. The Department of State, through J/GCJ, is positioning the award to support concrete justice-process improvements that contribute to accountability for atrocity crimes and reinforce longer-term human rights and stability objectives.Apply for SFOP0009081
