Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled PMWRA.FY12.Lebanon.RSOI (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 12 010) is a U.S. Department of State program run by the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) within the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. It is a discretionary grant competition focused on Conventional Weapons Destruction and humanitarian demining work, specifically supporting projects that clear and safely dispose of or destroy landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), and other dangerous conventional weapons concerns such as excess stockpiled weapons and aging or surplus munitions. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at reducing threats to civilian populations and improving safety and stability by strengthening the capability to identify, clear, manage, and eliminate explosive hazards.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it uses a two-stage competitive process rather than requiring a full proposal upfront. In the first stage, interested organizations must submit a short Statement of Interest (SOI) limited to two pages. PM/WRA conducts a competitive panel review of these SOIs to assess whether the concept meets technical requirements and aligns with the program goals of building or enhancing Conventional Weapons Destruction capabilities. Only applicants whose SOIs are viewed favorably and considered technically responsive are invited to proceed to the second stage. In that second stage, selected applicants submit a full proposal that expands on the initial concept, and PM/WRA again reviews these full proposals through a panel process to decide which projects to fund. This structure reduces burden on applicants by filtering concepts early and reserves the more time-consuming full proposal step for those with stronger alignment and feasibility.
The program anticipates making around six awards, depending on fiscal year 2012 appropriations. While the overall award ceiling listed is up to 3,000,000 USD, the solicitation indicates that PM/WRA expected typical project awards to fall in the range of 100,000 to 500,000 USD per project. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants can still propose leveraging other resources if it strengthens the project case. The assistance listing associated with the program is CFDA 19.800 (Weapons Removal and Abatement).
Eligibility is broad and includes both U.S.-based and foreign organizations. Specifically, eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without that status), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and Public International Organizations (PIOs). The solicitation also encourages applications from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and higher education institutions, reflecting the technical and operational nature of weapons removal and abatement work, where specialized expertise, field capacity, and strong safety management systems are often central to success.
The submission window for the first-stage SOI opened when the opportunity was posted on February 8, 2012, and closed at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, February 29, 2012. Applicants were required to submit the SOI electronically through either GrantSolutions.gov or Grants.gov. For applicants who experienced difficulty accessing the announcement or submission systems, the notice directs them to the Grants.gov Contact Center (support@grants.gov, 1-800-518-4726) with operating hours Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The opportunity was later archived on March 30, 2012.
Overall, PMWRA.FY12.Lebanon.RSOI is best understood as an early-stage call for concise project concepts in the weapons removal and humanitarian demining space, with a formal invitation-only pathway to a full proposal. The intent is to fund practical, technically credible projects that reduce explosive hazards and strengthen long-term local or national capacity to manage and eliminate threats from landmines, UXO, and surplus or deteriorating munitions.
