Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled PMWRA.FY12.Tajikistan.RSOI (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 12 033) 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 focuses on humanitarian demining and conventional weapons destruction, specifically supporting projects that clear and safely dispose of or destroy landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), excess conventional weapons, and aging or surplus munitions. The overall intent is to strengthen conventional weapons destruction capabilities in Tajikistan through practical, field-oriented clearance and disposal activities that reduce risks to civilians and improve safety and stability.
The funding uses a two-stage competitive process. In the first stage, organizations do not submit a full proposal right away; instead, they submit a concise, two-page Statement of Interest (SOI). These SOIs are reviewed by a competitive panel to determine which concepts meet the program's technical requirements and are strong enough to move forward. In the second stage, only those applicants whose SOIs are rated favorably are invited to submit a full proposal expanding on the initial concept. Full proposals are then reviewed again by a PM/WRA panel for final funding consideration. This structure is meant to streamline the competition by encouraging applicants to present a clear initial concept before investing in a complete proposal package.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and the funding instrument is a grant. The assistance listing referenced is CFDA 19.800 (Weapons Removal and Abatement). PM/WRA anticipated making about three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of roughly $1,000,000. Individual project awards were expected to fall broadly within a typical range of $50,000 to $800,000 per project, depending on the scope and merit of the proposed work. The notice also indicates an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000 and an award floor listed as $0, reflecting that final award sizes depend on available appropriations and the strength of applications. No cost sharing or matching contribution was required, which can make participation more feasible for organizations that cannot commit significant non-federal funds.
Eligibility was fairly broad within the humanitarian and international assistance space. U.S.-based and foreign nonprofit and non-governmental organizations were encouraged to apply, along with public international organizations and institutions of higher education. The eligibility categories explicitly include nonprofits with or without IRS 501(c)(3) status (with institutions of higher education treated separately), as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and public international organizations. In practice, this means the competition was open to a range of operational demining organizations, implementing partners, and specialized institutions capable of managing weapons clearance, destruction activities, or capacity-building efforts aligned with PM/WRA objectives.
Key dates in the announcement include a posted date of April 24, 2012, with a closing date of June 29, 2012 for the Stage 1 SOI submission. The opportunity was later archived on July 29, 2012. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (phone 1-800-518-4726, email support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except federal holidays.
