Opportunity Information: Apply for PM PMWRA 18 007
The grant opportunity titled 17.PMWRA.UnsolicitedConceptNotes.October2017 (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 18 007) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It falls under the Discretionary category and uses a Grant as the funding instrument. The program is tied to CFDA 19.800 and supports work under the U.S. Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) Program, which focuses on reducing the threats posed by landmines, explosive remnants of war, unsecured or excess weapons, and related hazards that affect civilian safety, stability, and post-conflict recovery.
This announcement is specifically a request for unsolicited concept notes, meaning PM/WRA is inviting organizations to propose ideas that fit within its mission rather than responding to a narrow, pre-defined project scope. The agency is looking for concept notes covering activities such as small arms and light weapons (SALW) destruction, humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and victims assistance programs. It also leaves room for other project types as long as they are clearly connected to conventional weapons destruction objectives, such as improving stockpile management, reducing ammunition-related risks, addressing unexploded ordnance contamination, and strengthening national or local capacity to manage these threats safely and sustainably.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status, and other eligible entities. The description also notes that foreign public entities may be included, including public international organizations, which signals that the Bureau is open to working with non-U.S. governmental or intergovernmental partners where appropriate and allowable under U.S. assistance rules. The opportunity is administered by PM/WRA, the State Department office that typically oversees U.S. support for mine action, physical security and stockpile management, weapons and ammunition destruction, and survivor assistance efforts in affected countries.
The original closing date listed for submitting concept notes was October 18, 2017, and the opportunity was created on September 18, 2017. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify the number of expected awards, which commonly indicates that specific funding levels, award sizes, and the number of awards are not pre-set in the public synopsis and may depend on the strength of submissions, available appropriations, geographic and policy priorities, and subsequent negotiations if a concept note is invited to develop into a full proposal. Overall, the opportunity serves as an open door for qualified organizations to present practical, impact-oriented ideas that reduce civilian harm and improve safety by addressing mines, explosive hazards, and unstable or excess conventional weapons.Apply for PM PMWRA 18 007
