Opportunity Summary:
The 15.PMWRA. SALW Training Support. RFA (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 15 004) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It sits within the broader mission area often labeled Conventional Weapons Destruction and is tied to CFDA 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement. The core purpose is to support a single organization in developing and sustaining a training capability that can be delivered to partner governments to reduce the risks posed by the illicit acquisition, diversion, and misuse of sensitive weapons and munitions.
The program focus is specifically on building, maintaining, and, when requested, presenting a training curriculum aimed at countering threats associated with man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), other small arms and light weapons (SA/LW), and related ammunition. In practical terms, the opportunity is about creating an adaptable curriculum that partner nations can use to strengthen their controls, procedures, and responses so these weapons and munitions are less likely to be stolen, trafficked, or used unlawfully. The announcement emphasizes both the ongoing upkeep of the curriculum and the capacity to deliver training as needed, which suggests an expectation of maintaining current content and being ready to support deployments or training events when PM/WRA requests them.
Funding for the opportunity is relatively small and tightly bounded. The estimated total funding is $250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and an award floor listed as $1, and the agency anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, at least as stated in the notice.
Eligibility is limited to certain categories of organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, in each case excluding institutions of higher education as nonprofits), as well as private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. This structure makes it clear that PM/WRA was open to a range of implementing partners, including NGOs and universities, so long as they can credibly design, maintain, and deliver specialized training related to weapons security and threat mitigation.
The posting date and creation date were both December 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 25, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on January 24, 2015. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (support@grants.gov, 1-800-518-4726), which operates continuously except on federal holidays.
