Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled PMWRA.FY13.Afghan.PreSolicitationVictimsAsst (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 13 001) was posted by the U.S. Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) under the broader area of Conventional Weapons Destruction, specifically focused on victims assistance. It was published on October 11, 2012 and carried an original and current closing date of October 31, 2012, with the listing archived on November 30, 2012. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement. The funding instrument type indicated is a grant, and it falls under the discretionary category, with the activity classification marked as "Other" and clarified as "Victims Assistance."
This posting was explicitly described as a pre-solicitation notice rather than an active funding competition. The announcement repeatedly states that it is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) and instructs applicants not to submit proposals in response to this posting. In practical terms, it functioned as an informational notice meant to alert interested organizations to a potential upcoming solicitation or program direction related to assisting victims affected by conventional weapons hazards. The award floor and ceiling were both listed as 0, reinforcing that this specific posting was not providing an actual funding amount or inviting applications at that time. It also noted that there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically means that if a later solicitation were released under similar terms, the U.S. Government would not require the recipient to contribute a specified percentage of project costs as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was described broadly to include several organizational types: nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and "others" as further clarified by the eligibility information. The eligibility information specifically referenced Public International Organizations, indicating that certain international or multilateral entities could be considered eligible as well. Overall, the eligible applicant pool appeared to be aimed at established organizations capable of implementing victims assistance activities in Afghanistan within the conventional weapons destruction context, such as medical care support, rehabilitation, psychosocial services, socioeconomic reintegration, and related capacity-building (noting that the posting itself does not list these activities, but they are commonly encompassed by the victims assistance category in CWD programs).
For access and technical help, the announcement directed users to the Grants.gov Contact Center rather than listing a program officer, providing a phone number (1-800-518-4726), 24/7 availability except federal holidays, and the email address support@grants.gov. The additional information link referenced the same opportunity title, indicating that further details would have been hosted through the standard Grants.gov posting system.
