Mekong River Basin Monitoring Tools

Opportunity Number: REOBKKMRB001

(Please note, similar questions have been combined or edited for clarity.)

Project and Output Questions:

• Page 5 the NOFO states: “By the end of the funding period, identify and transfer the knowledge and skills needed to continue the mission of the Mekong Dam Monitor to an entity (Government, NGO, University, etc.,) which will take over the funding and operations of the Mekong Dam Monitor in an ongoing and sustainable manner.” Does that mean submitted proposal should explicitly relate to the Mekong Dam Monitor, or can other monitoring tools be included in proposals?

The intent is for the award recipient to explicitly, but not necessarily exclusively, identify and transfer the knowledge and skills needed to continue the mission of the Mekong Dam Monitor to an entity

(Government, NGO, University, etc.,) which will take over the funding and operations of the Mekong

Dam Monitor in an ongoing and sustainable manner.

Proposal Submission Format Questions:

• Page 9 of the NOFO states, “Applications will not be accepted through grants.gov,” but page 16 states, “Faxed, couriered, or emailed documents will not be accepted.” How should proposals be submitted?

Please email submissions to SchmidtTM@State.gov mailto:SchmidtTM@State.gov
