Opportunity Summary:
The FY15 Iraq Mine Risk Education Notice of Funding Opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PM-PMWRA-15-024) is a discretionary grant competition issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It invites proposals for humanitarian demining and explosive hazards programming in Iraq during the FY2015/FY2016 period, with a particular emphasis on activities that reduce the threat posed by landmines and other explosive remnants of war. The opportunity is structured as a grant (not a contract), and it falls under CFDA 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement, which covers U.S. government support for programs that clear explosive hazards, educate communities about risks, and strengthen systems that assist people harmed by these hazards.
The announcement describes funding support for three closely related program areas: humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and victim assistance. In practical terms, this typically means proposals may focus on locating and clearing mines and unexploded ordnance to make land safe again; deploying qualified EOD capacity to remove or neutralize explosive threats; and supporting services for survivors and affected communities, such as medical referral pathways, rehabilitation, psychosocial support, and other forms of assistance aimed at improving long-term outcomes for victims. While the title highlights mine risk education, the stated scope explicitly includes operational clearance and disposal activities as well as victim assistance, signaling that PM/WRA was looking for programs that measurably reduce harm in Iraq through prevention, remediation, and support to those already impacted.
PM/WRA anticipated total awards up to an award ceiling of $669,159 under this opportunity, with an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants were not obligated to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The opportunity was posted on April 3, 2015, with an original closing date of June 3, 2015, later corrected/extended to June 5, 2015. Applications were accepted until 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, June 5, 2015, reflecting a clarification in the announcement where the day-of-week reference did not match the calendar date.
Eligibility was open to certain nonprofit organizations, including both (1) nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and (2) nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). The listing also indicates eligibility information referencing foreign public entities, which suggests that some non-U.S. governmental or quasi-governmental public entities could be considered eligible depending on the detailed criteria in the full notice. In general, the opportunity targeted organizations capable of implementing technically demanding, high-risk programming in an active contamination environment, so applicants would be expected to demonstrate credible operational capacity, relevant experience, and the ability to comply with U.S. government grant requirements.
From an application standpoint, PM/WRA noted that specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements were provided in the full funding announcement. This typically signals that proposal packages needed to do more than describe general intent; they would have to lay out concrete workplans, implementation methods, and measurable results tied to risk reduction in Iraq. For mine action and EOD-related proposals, that often includes how teams will be deployed, how tasks will be prioritized, what standards and safety procedures will be used, how quality management will be handled, and how outputs and outcomes will be tracked and reported. For victim assistance, it generally implies the need for a clear service model, referral and coordination mechanisms, and evidence that the proposed activities align with assessed needs and existing local systems.
Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, available 24/7 except federal holidays) or support@grants.gov. The notice emphasizes that the authoritative details for preparing a compliant submission, including all required attachments and technical criteria, were contained in the linked full announcement titled "FY15 Iraq Mine Risk Education Notice of Funding Opportunity."
