NOFO SFOP0010296

Caribbean United for Women’s Economic Empowerment (CUWEE)

Questions and Answers April 10, 2024

Question 1: Can you confirm whether there is an institutional application limit for the DOS

Caribbean United for Women’s Economic Empowerment program?

Response 1: No, there is no institutional application limit for the Department of State CUWEE program.

Question 2: I want to submit an application for the opportunity on Caribbean United for Women’s Economic Empowerment (CUWEE) SFOP0010296. My organization does not have a SAM number. Can I apply for this opportunity and request to get the SAM number after I have submitted my proposal?

Response 2: Per section D.3 in the NOFO (pg. 18) - Under the law, it is mandatory to obtain a

UEI number and register in sam.gov before submitting an application. The Bureau of Western

Hemisphere Affairs may not review applications from or make awards to applicants that have not completed all applicable UEI and SAM.gov requirements.

Please refer to Attachment E of the NOFO documents to see the Frequently Asked Questions for SAM.gov Registration for International Entities for assistance with completing this requirement.

Question 3: DOS allows F&A for the allocation of small grants (up to $1.2M) to local civil orgs in the Caribbean Region?

Response 3: Yes, but the allowance of F&A for the small grantees will be determined by the indirect cost calculation allowances. These allowances are defined by a (1) Negotiated Indirect

Rate Agreement (NICRA) (if the proposing organization has one, this is not required) or the (2) de minimis rate [as determined in 2 CFR 200.414(f)] applied against the modified total direct costs (MTDC) as defined in 2 CFR 200.1 “Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC)” http://www.sam.gov/ https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/part-200/section-200.414 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-II/part-200
