Opportunity Information: Apply for WORKSHOP 2018
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL), through its Office of Global Programs (DRL/GP), is offering an "Annual Workshop for Potential Grant Applicants" designed to help organizations understand and navigate the DRL grants process. This is not a traditional grant competition with funding attached; instead, it is an informational opportunity meant to support both new applicants and current DRL grantees by explaining how DRL funding works, what DRL looks for in proposals, and how DRL policy priorities shape program design. The listing is identified as Funding Opportunity Number WORKSHOP 2018 under CFDA 19.345, categorized under "Other" rather than a standard grant award mechanism, and it notes an award ceiling of $0, reinforcing that the event is primarily a capacity-building and guidance session rather than a direct funding award.
The workshop focuses on practical guidance about the application process and includes discussion of the policy issues and programmatic principles that guide DRL-supported work. Attendees can expect to hear from multiple DRL offices and interact directly with regional and thematic Global Programs (GP) Program Officers, which can be especially useful for organizations trying to determine program fit, understand how DRL frames democracy and human rights programming, and learn how to present a competitive application. DRL planned to send a formal agenda during the week of the workshop to those who RSVP, indicating the sessions would be structured and tailored to participant needs and common questions.
Participation is open to a broad set of potential applicants, including public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit entities other than small businesses, small businesses, and other eligible organizations as described in the notice. The opportunity anticipates up to roughly 250 participants, suggesting it is a sizable annual event. For organizations unable to attend in person, DRL offered remote access by livestreaming sessions on DRL's Facebook page and posting video clips on the DRL website shortly after the workshop, making the core content accessible beyond the in-room audience.
Registration required submitting attendance information through a Google Form, including full name, date of birth, citizenship, organization name, and a government-issued ID number (such as a driver's license or passport number). Entry to the event required presenting a government-issued photo ID, reflecting State Department security procedures. The deadline to submit attendance information was September 7, 2018, which functioned as the closing date for this opportunity. Attendees were instructed to arrive at the U.S. Department of State's 21st Street entrance (between C Street and Virginia Avenue, NW) by 8:45 a.m., with a specific note not to attempt entry before 8:30 a.m., again emphasizing security and check-in logistics.
The notice also highlights DRL's willingness to provide reasonable accommodations, including sign language interpretation, if requested in the RSVP. Overall, the workshop is best understood as an access point for organizations considering DRL funding: it clarifies expectations, explains how DRL evaluates and structures support, and provides a rare chance to ask questions directly of the program staff who manage regional and thematic portfolios.Apply for WORKSHOP 2018
