Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Management of Model Precinct/Smart Policing Program in El Salvador" (Funding Opportunity Number INL 15CA0043 WHPELSALVADOR 070915) is a discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It focuses on law enforcement and justice-sector support in El Salvador, specifically tied to transnational crime concerns under CFDA 19.705. The activity is framed as support for a "Model Precinct" or "Smart Policing" program, which generally signals a practical, precinct-level initiative aimed at improving policing effectiveness through modern management practices, data-informed operations, and community-oriented service delivery.
Funding is expected to be provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government would anticipate substantial involvement in the project’s execution and oversight compared with a standard grant. The total anticipated award size is significant, with an award floor of $2,000,000 and an award ceiling of $3,000,000. The announcement specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants sometimes still propose leveraged resources as a strength.
Eligible applicants are limited to certain organizational types, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). This eligibility set suggests INL was looking for organizations with the institutional capacity to manage a sizeable international assistance program, including administrative compliance, performance monitoring, and close coordination with government stakeholders, rather than individual applicants or for-profit entities.
The opportunity was posted on July 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2015, and an archive date of October 31, 2015. In practical terms, that means it was a time-limited competition that has since closed, but the details remain relevant for understanding past INL programming priorities or for organizations tracking recurring program models that may reappear in future solicitations.
For applicants that had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provided points of contact at INL: James W. Rose (rosejw@state.gov) and Linda Sanchez (sanchezlm@state.gov). These contacts indicate where administrative or technical questions about the solicitation and application process could be directed during the open period.
