Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 15.PMWRA.Afghanistan.CWD.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 15 016) is a U.S. government discretionary grant issued by the Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). The purpose of the funding is to support Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) activities in Afghanistan. In practical terms, this type of program is generally aimed at reducing the threats posed by conventional munitions and related hazards, and it typically supports work such as the clearance and disposal of unexploded ordnance and abandoned explosive ordnance, strengthening local capacity to manage and mitigate weapons-related risks, and other efforts that fall under weapons removal and abatement programming.
This opportunity is structured as a grant (not a contract) and is listed under Assistance Listing/CFDA number 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement. The activity category is labeled as "Other," with the clarification that the "Other" category refers specifically to Conventional Weapons Destruction. The total potential size of an individual award is capped at $1,500,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor is $0). The announcement also states that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds or third-party match funding as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations. Both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education) are eligible to apply. This indicates the program is oriented toward non-governmental implementing partners rather than universities or academic institutions as direct applicants.
Key timing information in the notice includes a posted date and creation date of February 3, 2015, and an application deadline of February 26, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on March 28, 2015, which typically indicates the application window has closed and the listing is maintained for reference rather than for new submissions. The full requirements, program scope, proposal contents, and evaluation criteria are contained in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) referenced in the listing, which would be the controlling document for applicants.
For technical help accessing the announcement through Grants.gov, the listing directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 except federal holidays, at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
