Opportunity Summary:
PMWRA.FY12.Cambodia.RSOI is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity run by the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) within the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. The program is focused on humanitarian mine action and conventional weapons destruction in Cambodia, specifically supporting work that clears and safely disposes of landmines and unexploded ordnance, and that destroys or safely manages excess conventional weapons as well as aging or surplus munitions. In practical terms, the funding is meant to reduce civilian harm and improve public safety by addressing explosive remnants of war and insecure or deteriorating stockpiles.
The solicitation uses a two-stage competitive process. In the first stage, organizations submit a short, two-page Statement of Interest (SOI) along with a line-item budget and a budget narrative. These initial submissions are reviewed by a competitive panel to assess whether the concept is technically sound and aligned with PM/WRA priorities, with an emphasis on promoting or strengthening conventional weapons destruction capabilities. Only applicants whose SOIs meet the requirements and are favorably reviewed move to the second stage, where they are invited to submit a full proposal that expands on the SOI in greater detail. Those full proposals are then reviewed again by a PM/WRA panel for final funding consideration. This particular announcement is for stage one, meaning PM/WRA is asking interested applicants to submit the SOI package rather than a full proposal upfront.
Eligibility is broad and includes both U.S.-based and foreign entities. The announcement encourages submissions from nonprofit and non-governmental organizations, public international organizations, and institutions of higher education. The listed eligible applicant categories include nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled colleges and universities, private institutions of higher education, and public international organizations. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Funding is contingent on FY2012 appropriations, but PM/WRA anticipated awarding a total of about $5,000,000 for Cambodia under this opportunity. The number of expected awards is listed as eight, and the size of individual grants could vary widely. The award ceiling is $2,000,000, while the award floor is $0, indicating there is no stated minimum award amount. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument. The CFDA number associated with this program is 19.800 (Weapons Removal and Abatement).
For timing and submission logistics, the opportunity was posted on March 2, 2012, and required SOI submissions by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, March 16, 2012. Applications had to be submitted electronically through either GrantSolutions (www.grantsolutions.gov) or Grants.gov (www.grants.gov). For applicants unable to access the announcement or needing technical help with the electronic system, the notice points to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST, support@grants.gov).
