Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 18 AW 005 01252018
The U.S. Department of State, through the Public Affairs Section at U.S. Mission Pakistan (PAS Islamabad), announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Building a Pakistani CVE Ecosystem" (Funding Opportunity Number SCAISB 18 AW 005 01252018). The purpose is to strengthen Pakistan's ability to counter violent extremism (CVE) by fixing a persistent problem in the field: high-quality research and analysis often does not translate into practical program design, and many CVE initiatives are launched without strong monitoring and evaluation (M&E) built in from the start. This opportunity is structured to close that research-to-programming gap by supporting evidence-based, community-centered research and analysis (referred to in the notice as R&A or "RampA") that directly informs measurable, results-driven CVE programming.
A central focus of the opportunity is improving the reliability and usefulness of CVE research so it can guide real interventions on the ground, particularly in underserved regions of Pakistan that are described as more vulnerable to violent extremist messaging and recruitment. Rather than funding research in isolation, the notice emphasizes that CVE practitioners should lead the research and analysis process. The idea is that practitioners are better positioned to ensure the research produces actionable findings, converts into clear program goals and objectives, and includes thematic oversight that keeps the work relevant to community realities and prevention needs.
The NOFO is intentionally divided into two separate but tightly connected projects, and the link between them is described as essential to success. The first project is about building the foundational infrastructure for better CVE knowledge in-country by creating the Pakistan CVE Research Network. This network is meant to expand and strengthen a cadre of Pakistani experts capable of conducting CVE research and analysis and applying monitoring and evaluation methods. In other words, it aims to build local expertise and relationships so Pakistan has a stronger, more sustainable base of skilled researchers and practitioners who can generate credible evidence and assess what works.
The second project, titled "Building Effective Pakistani CVE Projects," moves from knowledge creation to practical application. Under this component, an organization is expected to serve as the implementation lead responsible for identifying, funding, and managing sub-grants. Those sub-grants are intended to field-test, apply, and scale the products of the first project, meaning the research and analysis outputs. This design signals that the Department of State is not only looking for reports or studies, but for research that produces program concepts, prototypes, and interventions that can be tried in communities, evaluated, refined, and then replicated where effective.
Administratively, the opportunity anticipated up to two awards, with an award ceiling of $700,000. The funding instruments listed are cooperative agreements and grants, indicating the funder may expect varying degrees of involvement and coordination depending on the final award structure. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.501. The opportunity was created on January 25, 2018, and originally closed on March 27, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with specifics referenced in Section C of the full announcement, implying that applicants needed to consult the formal eligibility requirements to confirm whether their organization type and qualifications were acceptable.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a two-part ecosystem-building effort: first, invest in Pakistani capacity to conduct credible, community-grounded CVE research and evaluation; second, use that evidence to design and manage real CVE projects through sub-grants, ensuring the research does not stay on paper and that programming can be measured, improved, and expanded based on results.Apply for SCAISB 18 AW 005 01252018
