Positive Action for Children Fund

The Positive Action for Children Fund has opened its first Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Proposals should be prepared by following this detailed guidance (Download Requests for Proposals 1 & 2) and submitted by the deadline, midnight (GMT) on Friday 7th May. This document contains full guidance, a mandatory application form, and a set of answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

Proposals submitted late, or that do not follow this guidance and comply with its criteria will not be considered. Unsolicited proposals for funds will not be considered.

Later this year we will invite concept notes for projects that fall outside these two Requests for Proposals. But in this first round proposals must focus on one of the following areas:

Focus of RFP1
This first Request for Proposals from the Positive Action for Children Fund is focused on the integration of HIV and sexual and reproductive health services leading to improved access to and continuity of services for men and women at risk of HIV or living with HIV.

All projects should have a strong component of community involvement to ensure demand for these services is generated or increased. Project objectives should contribute to the enhancement and integration of services in WHO’s PMTCT elements 1 or 2, or together: primary HIV prevention; and improved sexual health and prevention of unintended pregnancies.

Focus of RFP2
This second Request for Proposals from the Positive Action for Children Fund is focused on the support of infants, children and adolescents living with HIV and their families within their communities, promoting a family-centred approach.

Projects may focus on one area of need for any subset of this age group or cover a number across the age range, including, but not restricted to: early infant diagnosis; nutrition; support around maintenance of and adherence to ARV treatment; sexual and reproductive health education, services and rights; stigma and discrimination.

Projects that are delivered in conjunction with affected communities and seek to develop continuing capacity in those communities and their organisations are encouraged.

Download: An Introduction to the Positive Action for Children Fund

We have tried to provide all the information you should need to prepare your proposal, including a set of Q&A at the end of the guidance, but you may have one or more specific questions you need to put to us. Queries on these two RFPs received by e-mail (positiveactionforchildren@viivhealthcare.com) will be answered as quickly as possible and will be used to update the existing Q&A periodically.

Research Grant Program
Devoted to the basic theme “The Search for the Richness of Human Life and Activity”, the Research Grant Program solicits proposals for creative and socially meaningful research projects that mesh with this theme. Especially, amid ongoing specialization and segmentation of disparate fields of research, this program supports research incorporating the sort of cross-disciplinary vision that produces organic interaction and leads to synthesis ---research activities in which areas that tend to be segmented into opposing categories, such as social and scientific, academic and practical, and tacit knowledge and formal knowledge, interact and become integrated. Based on that premise, the program solicits proposals for research projects in the three areas; “Transmission and formation of culture”, “Society’s frameworks” and “Human ties with nature.” Proposals for projects that fall into more than one of these areas are welcome. Individual research: Up to ¥2 million per project/Joint research: Up to ¥8 million per project. Total Grant: ¥150 million.

Submitted by online application

Submitted by mail

Grant Program for Community Activities

Under the basic theme of "Forming a Sustainable Framework Within the Locality: Toward a New Community of Self-support and Symbiosis," this program supports ambitious projects with local residents as the main actors creating frameworks that will lead to concrete solutions to issues their communities face in the course of their revitalization and advancement. There are three categories; (a) revitalizing the local community, (b) promoting symbiosis in the community, and (c) fostering young generations to carry the community forward. Up to ¥3,000,000 per project per year. Total Grant: ¥120 million.

Southeast Asian Studies Regional Exchange Program (SEASREP)

I. Background and Project Description:
Building Resilience to Natural Hazards In North-East Cambodia Project is part of the International Organization for Migration (IOM)’s disaster management and awareness program in support of the disaster management efforts of the Royal Government of Cambodia. The objective of the 9-month project is to enable local communities, actors, and institutions to better prepare for, mitigate, and respond to natural disasters in the North-Eastern provinces of Cambodia. It takes off from the IOM’s research project, Mapping Vulnerability to Natural Hazards in Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri, conducted in the North-Eastern provinces of Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri in 2009. The research studies showed that these provinces are increasingly exposed to floods, droughts, and unpredictable changes in climate trends. The hazard assessment in the two provinces demonstrated how environmental degradation and other man-made hazards exacerbate existing vulnerability levels of local communities to the risk of natural disasters, including floods and drought. The study proved that there is an urgent need to implement these recommendations in the two provinces at both the community and the government level, thus, the proposed programme aims to follow up on some of these recommendations to ensure continuity of action with relevant stakeholders; consensus and trust with the most affected villages; and synergy with local partner organizations.

The new Project has five major components: 1) Capacity-building on disaster management at the provincial, commune, village and community levels; 2) Information, education and communication on disaster risk reduction; 3) Community media; 4) Partnership-building for disaster management; and mainstreaming of disaster management policies into disaster management plans; and 5) Hazard Mapping in Stung Treng Province.

OHCHR Minorities Fellowship

Through this Programme, the OHCHR aims to give persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities - particularly young minority women and men - an opportunity to gain knowledge on the UN system and mechanisms dealing with international human rights in general and minority rights in particular. The Fellowship Programme is intended to assist organizations and communities in protecting and promoting the rights of minorities the fellows belong to.

The Fellows are based at the OHCHR in Geneva, Switzerland. The programme is interactive and consists of briefings on several topics (e.g. the UN system, OHCHR's work, human rights mechanisms and instruments) as well as individual and group assignments.

At the end of the Programme, all Fellow should have a general knowledge of the United Nations system, international human rights instruments and mechanisms in general and those relevant to minorities in particular and be capable of further training their communities/organizations.

Fellows are entitled to the following: a return ticket (economy class) from the country of residence to Geneva; basic health insurance for the duration of the Programme; and a grant to cover modest accommodation in Geneva for the duration of the Programme and other living expenses.

Who can apply?

The candidate must belong to a national, ethnic, linguistic or religious minority group (persons who do not belong to a minority group will not be taken into consideration, even if they have close links with minority communities and/or organizations)
NOTE: If your community identifies as indigenous, please do not apply to this programme but to our indigenous fellowship programme instead (see http://www2.ohchr.org/english/issues/indigenous/fellowship.htm). Please note that the indigenous fellowship is a separate programme and has different application forms and deadlines.
Age should not be a limitation to participation in the Minorities Fellowship Programme, although preference initially will be given to candidates between 25 - 35 years.
Formal education should not be a limitation to participation in the Minorities Fellowship Programme, if relevant experience can be demonstrated.
Candidates should have ability, willingness and possibility to train other persons belonging to minorities upon return to their respective communities/organizations and should agree to do so.
The candidates must have a good working knowledge of the language in which the programme is imparted (i.e. English for the English programme and Arabic for the Arabic programme).
The candidate should be proposed and his/her candidacy supported by his/her organization and/or community. It is desirable that the sponsoring organization has a firm constituency or membership, is representative, undertakes work on minority issues and is composed of persons belonging to minorities.
The overall goal of the Minorities Fellowship Programme is to offer persons belonging to minorities the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in the field of international human rights in order to assist their organizations and communities in protecting and promoting human and minority rights. Therefore, it is important that the candidate proposed and nominated by a minority organization or community be someone who will return to his or her NGO to work in this field.

Selection process
The selection of fellows reflects a gender and regional balance. The general human rights situation in the respective regions/countries is also taken into consideration as is the situation of the minority community to which the applicant belongs to.

For the English programme, a pre-selection of 15 (first five preferences and 10 alternates) candidates is made by previous minority fellows. The final selection of successful candidates is undertaken by an advisory group composed of OHCHR staff. As the Arabic programme expands in the future, similar selection process will be established.

How to apply?
Fellowship applications will only be taken into consideration if they are fully completed. Both parts I and II must be signed and faxed, sent by regular post or scanned and E-mailed to the following address:

IES Call For Interest for Grantholders

Located in Ispra (Italy), the Institute for Environment and Sustainability is one of the seven institutes that constitute the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.

In line with the JRC mission, the aim of IES is to provide scientific and technical support to the European Union strategies for the protection of the environment contributing to a sustainable development. IES works in close collaboration with official laboratories, research centres and industries of the EU's Member States, creating a bridge between the EU's policies and the European citizen.

The combination of complementary expertise in the fields of experimental sciences, modelling and remote sensing put the IES in a strong position to contribute to the implementation of the European Research Area and to the achievement of a sustainable development.

Being structured in six scientific Units, the Institute at present is engaged within seven main fields of activity:

Sustainable Use of Natural Resources: Water, Soils, Forests
Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Environmental Risks and Natural Hazards
Sustainable transport and Air Quality
Environmental Dimension of Development Co-operation
Environmental Monitoring and Information Systems: GMES and INSPIRE

In order to increase and reinforce its capacity, and in order to encourage researcher to enhance their experience in an international, multicultural and multidisciplinary environment, the Institute for Environment and Sustainability is launching a call for interest for Grantholders for Doctoral, Post-doctoral and Senior Research Positions.

The grants are aimed at developing training and mobility opportunities for researchers throughout their careers.

Category 20 - PhD STUDENTS (12-36 months)This category is intended for students who submit a proposal for doctoral studies related to a research area published in the institute's call for interest for grantholders. Prior agreement to follow the research project must be obtained from the professor responsible for following the thesis at the student's university (not obligatory at the time of the application). The selected candidates must provide proof of enrolment in a university’s doctoral studies programme before the grant may start and will have not more than six months from the date of the Commission's offer of a grantholder contract to produce this proof of enrolment.

Category 30 - POST-DOC RESEARCHERS (12-36 months) Researchers holding a doctoral degree or having fulfilled all the obligations to obtain a PhD (certified by the their university) or having a minimum of 5 years research experience after the first university degree giving access to doctoral studies (which may include periods of training such as a masters degree), in a field relevant to the IES's scientific activities.

CLIR Call For Proposal on Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives

Libraries, archives, and cultural institutions hold millions of items that have never been adequately described. According to a 1998 Association of Research Libraries' survey of 99 North American research universities' special collections, on average 15 percent of their printed volumes, 27 percent of manuscripts, and 35 percent and 37 percent of video and audio, respectively, are unprocessed or uncataloged. Nationally, this represents a staggering volume of items of potentially substantive intellectual value that are unknown and inaccessible to scholars.

With generous funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Council on Library and Information Resources administers this national program to identify and catalog hidden special collections and archives. In 2008, CLIR issued the program's first Request for Proposals (RFP, in pdf), to which 118 libraries, research centers, museums, historical societies, and other cultural heritage institutions responded. A distinguished review panel of librarians and scholars selected fifteen exceptional projects for funding. The primary criteria the panel employed in evaluating the proposals were the potential national significance of the nominated collections for scholarship and teaching, the application of description standards that would provide interoperability and long-term sustainability for project data, and innovations in the design of workflow processes that maximized both efficiency and connections to scholarly and other user communities. Funded projects will continue for up to three years.

The program's strategy assumes local autonomy and responsibility but also requires participants to agree to governing principles that ensure enterprise-wide coherence. All nonconfidential information that applicants supply is made publicly available through CLIR's Hidden Collections Registry.

As the program continues, program staff will develop a descriptive record of a subset of collections that are deemed most urgently in need of cataloging and documentation. The record will evolve as funded proposals are completed. Although the program does not provide funds for the creation of digital surrogates of cataloged materials, CLIR hopes that many funded projects will ultimately be enhanced through the creation of publicly accessible digitized versions of the newly cataloged materials. For a more detailed description of the philosophy and mission of the Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives program, please see CLIR's original proposal to the Mellon Foundation (pdf).
