F. FEDERAL AWARD ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION

document and it will be provided to the recipient for review and signature by email. The

If a proposal is selected for funding, the Department of State has no obligation to provide

any additional future funding. Renewal of an award to increase funding or extend the

period of performance is at the discretion of the Department of State.

Issuance of this NOFO does not constitute an award commitment on the part of the

U.S. government, nor does it commit the U.S. government to pay for costs incurred in

the preparation and submission of proposals. Further, the U.S. government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals received.

Payment Method: Payments will be made in at least two installments, as needed to carry out the program activities.

Organizations whose applications will not be funded will also be notified via email.

Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy at [email protected] with subject line: PAS NOFO 2019.

Note: We do not provide any pre-consultation for application related questions that are

addressed in the NOFO. Once an application has been submitted, State Department officials

competition with applicants until the entire proposal review process is completed.

H. OTHER INFORMATION

Guidelines for Budget Justification

Personnel: Describe the wages, salaries, and benefits of temporary or permanent staff who

will be working directly for the applicant on the program, and the percentage of their time

that will be spent on the program.

Travel: Estimate the costs of travel and per diem for this program. If the program involves international travel, include a brief statement of justification for that travel.

Equipment: Describe any machinery, furniture, or other personal property that is required

for the program, which has a useful life of more than one year (or a life longer than the

duration of the program), and costs at least $5,000 per unit.

Supplies: List and describe all the items and materials, including any computer devices,

that are needed for the program. If an item costs more than $5,000 per unit, then put it in

the budget under Equipment.

Contractual: Describe goods and services that the applicant plans to acquire through a

contract with a vendor. Also describe any sub-awards to non-profit partners that will help carry out the program activities.

Other Direct Costs: Describe other costs directly associated with the program, which do

not fit in the other categories. For example, shipping costs for materials and equipment or applicable taxes. All “Other” or “Miscellaneous” expenses must be itemized and explained.

Indirect Costs: These are costs that cannot be linked directly to the program activities,

such as overhead costs needed to help keep the organization operating. If your

organization has a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate (NICRA) and includes NICRA charges in

the budget, attach a copy of your latest NICRA. Organizations that have never had a NICRA

may request indirect costs of 10% of the modified total direct costs as defined in 2 CFR 200.68.

“Cost Sharing” refers to contributions from the organization or other entities other than the

U.S. Embassy. It also includes in-kind contributions such as volunteers’ time and donated venues.
