Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 14.PMWRA.Afghanistan.PanjsherProject8.RFA is a U.S. Department of State funding announcement issued by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is a discretionary grant competition focused on Conventional Weapons Destruction activities in Afghanistan for fiscal year 2014/2015. The core purpose is humanitarian in nature: reducing harm to civilians and improving safety and recovery in communities affected by landmines and explosive remnants of war by supporting practical field operations and related assistance.
The program is specifically looking to fund projects that deliver humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and victim assistance. In plain terms, applicants are expected to propose work that finds, clears, and safely disposes of mines and unexploded ordnance, and/or provides support services for people impacted by these hazards. PM/WRA indicates that the announcement contains additional, detailed goals, objectives, and technical requirements that applicants must follow when assembling their application packages, and awards will go to the proposal or proposals that best align with those requirements and demonstrate the strongest likelihood of achieving results within the available budget and timeline.
Funding under this opportunity is substantial but limited. PM/WRA anticipates making up to one award (the announcement lists ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $1,504,845. The award ceiling is also $1,504,845, meaning a single project could potentially receive the full amount, while the award floor is listed as $1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a specific portion of project funds from non-federal sources as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is limited to specific organization types: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); and nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). Applications are reviewed competitively using evaluation criteria described in the full announcement, and PM/WRA will select the application(s) judged most likely to meet program goals within the stated monetary and time parameters.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 14 023 and CFDA number 19.800 (Weapons Removal and Abatement). The opportunity was posted on June 23, 2014, with a closing deadline of July 15, 2014.
