Description
This opportunity, from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL), invites applications for a project that aims to research and advocate for immigration policies and laws that protect sovereignty and the rule of law, while promoting democratic resilience in Europe. The program is designed to systematically document and analyze democratic backsliding in Europe as it relates to mass migration, with a focus on the human rights and social impacts of the migration crisis. Projects should combine academically rigorous research with evidence-based advocacy to inform public debate and policy development.
The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, with substantial involvement from DRL in project implementation, including review and approval of key activities, materials, and strategic direction.
