Opportunity Information: Apply for PM PMWRA 16 082
The grant opportunity titled 16.PMWRA.Ukraine.HMA.NOFO is a U.S. Department of State funding announcement issued through the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, specifically the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It focuses on humanitarian mine action work in Ukraine during fiscal year 2016, with an emphasis on reducing harm to civilians and improving safety in areas affected by landmines and other explosive hazards. The funding is intended to support practical, on-the-ground activities that address explosive threats and help communities live and move more safely.
The supported program areas are humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and risk education. Humanitarian demining generally involves surveying, locating, marking, and clearing landmines and explosive remnants of war so land can be safely used again. Explosive ordnance disposal covers the identification, safe removal, and disposal of unexploded ordnance and other explosive hazards that may be found in communities, infrastructure corridors, or former conflict zones. Risk education refers to outreach and training efforts that teach civilians how to recognize explosive dangers, avoid risky behaviors, and report suspected hazardous items to appropriate authorities, which can be especially important in places where contamination is widespread or where people may return to previously unsafe areas.
This is a discretionary grant program (not a formula entitlement), meaning awards are competitive and based on how well an application matches the program goals and technical requirements described in the full notice of funding opportunity. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other" under CFDA number 19.800, which is commonly associated with State Department public diplomacy and related assistance authorities. While the short description does not spell out every technical requirement, it indicates that applicants are expected to follow specific goals, objectives, and application package requirements contained in the detailed NOFO guidance.
The maximum funding amount anticipated for an award under this opportunity is up to $900,000 (the award ceiling). The notice states PM/WRA anticipated awarding up to that amount, implying that the total available funding for this particular competition is capped at $900,000, though the exact number of awards is not specified in the source text. The opportunity was created on September 19, 2016, and the original closing date for applications was November 11, 2016, establishing the submission window for eligible applicants.
Eligibility includes nonprofit organizations, both those with IRS 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The eligibility list also includes an "Others" category, and the description references Public International Organizations (PIOs), which suggests that certain international or intergovernmental bodies may have been considered eligible or specifically encouraged to apply, depending on the full NOFO language. The administering agency is the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs - WRA (PM/WRA), which is the State Department office responsible for U.S. humanitarian mine action and conventional weapons destruction programming.
In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at funding organizations that can demonstrate the technical capacity, safety procedures, and operational experience needed to carry out mine action work in Ukraine, alongside community-facing risk education that helps prevent accidents while clearance and disposal operations are underway. The overall intent is to reduce the immediate and long-term impact of landmines and explosive remnants on civilian life by pairing direct hazard reduction (demining and EOD) with prevention and awareness (risk education).Apply for PM PMWRA 16 082
