Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled 16.PMWRA.Afghanistan.DonorWorkshop.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 15 043), is a U.S. Department of State grant announcement issued by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It was posted on August 13, 2015, and solicited applications for fiscal year 2016 support focused on Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) coordination for Afghanistan. In practical terms, the program is aimed at helping organize and support a coordination workshop and symposium that brings together relevant stakeholders involved in weapons removal and abatement work connected to Afghanistan, with the intent of improving planning, coordination, and donor engagement around CWD priorities.
The award instrument is listed as a grant under a discretionary opportunity category, with the funding activity described under the CWD umbrella. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) and set a fixed funding amount with both an award ceiling and floor of $75,000, meaning the planned award amount was $75,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally lowers barriers to participation for organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility was broad within the nonprofit, education, and international organization space. Eligible applicants included U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The eligibility section also explicitly referenced Public International Organizations, indicating that certain international or intergovernmental entities could be considered eligible as well, depending on how the Department of State defines and applies that category for this competition.
The administrative timeline shows an original and current closing date of October 16, 2015, with the opportunity later archived on November 15, 2015. The program falls under CFDA number 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement, which is the Department of State assistance listing typically associated with humanitarian mine action, explosive remnants of war clearance, stockpile security and destruction, and related risk reduction and coordination activities. While the brief synopsis does not spell out the agenda or deliverables, it indicates that the detailed goals, objectives, and technical requirements were provided in the full announcement and were expected to guide applicants in developing a workshop and symposium support plan aligned with PM/WRA priorities for Afghanistan.
For assistance accessing the full announcement or navigating the electronic application process, the notice directed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except federal holidays.
