SF424 Docs - Application for Federal Assistance.zip

This document is a Request for Application (RFA) for the Partnership to Advance Research and Scientific Evidence (PARSE) program, a project funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement (INL).

The RFA seeks applications from eligible organizations, including higher education institutions, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits, to implement the PARSE program. The program aims to generate evidence-based research to counter crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. Expected results include the identification of priority research themes and the production of synthesis reports and novel studies. The research must be methodologically rigorous, relevant, actionable, and contextually diverse, and able to inform strategies to improve civilian security, mitigate internal and transnational threats, and contribute to stable criminal justice institutions. The selected applicant will work closely with INL, with the possibility of project expansion based on performance, relevance, and fund availability. The PARSE program is funded under the Department of State's Criminal Justice Systems grant program (CFDA 19.703).
