Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005493
The grant opportunity titled "DRL Assessing the Human Rights Impact of Emerging Technologies" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005493) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL). The program is focused on funding research that examines how emerging technologies affect human rights around the world, with the broader policy backdrop of the U.S. National Cyber Strategy and the U.S. government goal of maintaining leadership in emerging technologies.
At its core, DRL is looking for research initiatives that identify and evaluate both the positive opportunities and the potential threats that new and rapidly evolving technologies can create for human rights. The emphasis is global, meaning applicants are expected to think beyond a single domestic context and consider how technological innovation is shaping civic space, individual freedoms, and state and non-state behavior in different regions. Proposals should be framed as research-driven efforts, and applicants are asked to submit program concepts that directly reflect this purpose, such as assessments, analytical studies, or other structured research outputs that help policymakers and human rights stakeholders better understand the human rights consequences of emerging tech.
The opportunity was posted on February 5, 2019, with an original application deadline of March 29, 2019. DRL anticipated making one award under this competition, with an award ceiling of $350,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 19.345. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," indicating that eligible applicant types are defined in additional guidance rather than being limited to a standard category like state or local government, which typically means a range of organizations (often including nonprofits, research institutions, and similar entities) may be able to apply depending on the full eligibility language in the notice.
Overall, this is a relatively focused, single-award research grant aimed at generating practical, policy-relevant knowledge about how emerging technologies can advance or undermine human rights, and at mapping the risks, benefits, and real-world impacts of technological change in diverse international settings.Apply for SFOP0005493
