Opportunity Information: Apply for INL 17GR0035 EABOSNIA 05 05 2017
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Enhancing Students' Understanding of their Rights in" (Funding Opportunity Number: INL 17GR0035 EABOSNIA 05 05 2017) to support rule-of-law education for youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The core purpose of the grant is to strengthen young peoples understanding of, and respect for, the criminal and civil court systems by using hands-on, practical learning rather than purely classroom-based instruction. INL framed this effort as a way to complement ongoing work by the U.S. Government and other international donors that are already focused on advancing rule of law in the country, suggesting the program should fit into and reinforce broader reform and civic education goals rather than duplicate existing initiatives.
The program concept centers on an experiential education module that ultimately leads to a mock trial competition. In practical terms, this implies a structured learning sequence where students build knowledge and skills related to legal rights, court procedures, and the roles of key justice-sector actors (such as judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, witnesses, and possibly juries or panels depending on the local model). The culminating mock trial competition is intended to provide a high-impact capstone event that tests students understanding in a realistic scenario and helps them internalize how rights are exercised and protected within formal legal processes. The emphasis on both criminal and civil court systems indicates the curriculum and mock trial design should expose students to the differences between these tracks, including how cases are initiated, standards of proof, procedural safeguards, and the types of remedies or outcomes involved.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was offered as a grant, categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services, and tied to CFDA number 19.703. The award information indicates a single expected award with an award ceiling of $125,000, meaning the project was structured as one primary funded effort rather than multiple smaller awards. The opportunity was created on May 5, 2017, with an original closing date of July 20, 2017, providing a defined application window for interested applicants. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note directing applicants to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification, which typically means the funding could be open to a range of non-federal entities (often including NGOs, educational organizations, or similar institutions) as specified in the complete solicitation.
Overall, this grant opportunity aimed to improve legal literacy and civic understanding among youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina by pairing guided instruction with an applied learning experience. By culminating in a mock trial competition, the program sought to make the justice system more understandable and relatable to students, reinforcing awareness of rights and the practical functioning of courts as part of a broader rule-of-law strengthening agenda.Apply for INL 17GR0035 EABOSNIA 05 05 2017
