Opportunity Summary:
The Mexico Travel and Logistics Program for Training Support is a discretionary grant opportunity released by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), focused on strengthening capacity building efforts connected to criminal justice, counter-narcotics, and transnational crime priorities in Mexico. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would not only carry out the work but would also coordinate closely with the U.S. government during implementation. The program is intended to support a wider NAS (Narcotics Affairs Section) capacity building program by handling the practical backbone of training efforts, including programmatic coordination, logistics, and administrative support.
The core purpose of the underlying capacity building program is to equip participants with real-world, job-relevant skills that help them counter organized crime, reinforce the rule of law, and strengthen community resilience. A second major emphasis is increasing participants understanding of the Merida Initiative and how its goals can be put into practice within professional settings and broader social communities. A third goal is sustainability through a train-the-trainer model, where participants are prepared not just to learn skills themselves, but to pass them on to peers in their professions or communities, multiplying the impact over time.
Financially, the opportunity is designed as a single, sizable award. INL anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $11,000,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed at $11,000,000, indicating the award amount was effectively fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to bring additional non-federal funds to be considered. The funding activity category is listed under law, justice, and legal services, and the CFDA program areas tied to the opportunity include Criminal Justice Systems (19.703), Counter Narcotics (19.704), and Trans National Crime (19.705), which signals the broad security and justice context this support role is meant to advance.
Eligibility is intentionally broad. INL allowed applications from registered U.S., Mexican, or international non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations, private institutions, institutions of higher education (both non-profit and for-profit), semi-autonomous or independent public entities, commercial entities, small businesses, and state or local government entities. In practice, this suggests the agency was prioritizing operational capability and compliance readiness over a narrow organizational type, since the work centers on delivering dependable coordination and logistical support for trainings rather than purely academic research or direct service delivery.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the funding opportunity number is INL 12 CA 0016 WHPMEXICO 05232012 and it was posted on May 23, 2012. The original closing date was June 27, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of July 13, 2012, with an archive date of July 27, 2012.
