Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 15.PMWRA.Vietnam.InfoMgmt.NOFO is a discretionary U.S. Department of State funding announcement issued by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It focuses on supporting the Vietnam National Mine Action Center (VNMAC) with the development of an information management system during fiscal years 2015 and 2016. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen how Vietnam collects, stores, manages, and uses data tied to mine action and weapons removal and abatement work, which typically includes contamination surveys, clearance operations, and related reporting and coordination needs. The announcement notes that the detailed goals, objectives, and technical requirements are contained in the full application guidance, but the central purpose is clearly framed around building VNMACs capacity to run a functional information management capability that supports national-level planning and decision-making for weapons contamination problems.
PM/WRA anticipated making a single award (or awards) totaling up to 700,000 USD under this notice, with an award ceiling of 700,000 and an award floor of 0, meaning proposals could request smaller amounts as appropriate. The funding instrument is a grant, and the underlying program is associated with CFDA number 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement. The announcement explicitly states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide a mandatory non-federal match to be considered eligible, although voluntary cost share can sometimes be included depending on program norms.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (again excluding higher education institutions), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other applicants as described in the notice. The opportunity also indicates eligibility for foreign public entities, which is relevant given the Vietnam-centered implementation context and the likelihood of partnership with local public-sector stakeholders. The funding activity category is listed as Other, with the category explanation referencing conventional weapons destruction-related programming, aligning with PM/WRAs mission area.
In terms of timeline, the opportunity was posted and created on July 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2015. The archive date is September 7, 2015, reflecting that the application window was time-limited and the opportunity is no longer open. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for the specific technical requirements and submission elements, and those who had trouble accessing the posting electronically were referred to the Grants.gov Contact Center for assistance (phone support available 24/7, excluding federal holidays, and email support through support@grants.gov).
