Opportunity Information: Apply for INL18CA0061 WHPDOMREP TRAVLOG 10262018
The Dominican Republic Travel and Logistics Program for Training Support is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) to strengthen Dominican law enforcement capacity by making it easier to deliver and participate in specialized training. The core idea is practical: training is already a major part of INL programming, but it often depends on efficient travel planning, coordinated logistics, and reliable administrative support. This cooperative agreement is meant to remove those barriers so Dominican personnel can attend priority trainings, share best practices, and rapidly apply new skills back home, while also enabling experienced Colombian police and other subject matter experts to travel to the Dominican Republic to train and mentor local counterparts.
The program emphasizes capacity-building through a mix of training, technical assistance, and mentoring, with travel serving as the key enabling component. INL supports host-nation personnel traveling to trainings outside the country, with a particular focus on Colombia, and also supports travel within the Dominican Republic for training activities that help spread effective practices across regions and units. In parallel, the opportunity supports inbound travel for Colombian National Police trainers and other experts to conduct training and provide technical assistance in the Dominican Republic under the U.S.-Colombia Action Plan (USCAP). The intent is to accelerate implementation by ensuring that when training opportunities arise, the systems to move people, equipment, and expertise are already in place and can be executed quickly and in compliance with U.S. government requirements.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning INL anticipates active involvement during the life of the project rather than a hands-off grant. The INL Office at the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic is expected to work closely with the selected recipient throughout the award period, coordinating on which trainings will be supported, who participates, what costs are allowable, and what program rules apply. In practice, that level of involvement typically signals that the recipient will need strong day-to-day project management, clear communication with U.S. government stakeholders, and the ability to adapt plans as priorities, training schedules, or operational conditions change.
Funding details indicate a single anticipated award with an award ceiling of USD 1,200,000. The funding opportunity number is INL18CA0061 (WHPDOMREP TRAVLOG 10262018), and the CFDA number associated with the program is 19.704. The opportunity was created on October 26, 2018, with an original closing date of December 28, 2018. While those dates reflect the specific posting, the summary of purpose and structure is useful for understanding what INL sought to fund: an organization capable of responsibly managing travel and logistics tied directly to law enforcement training outcomes.
Eligible applicants include a range of organizations that can credibly manage international and in-country travel support for training programs. This includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions). The eligibility scope suggests INL was looking for applicants with demonstrated administrative capacity, financial controls, and relevant experience coordinating training support across borders, especially in contexts that require careful coordination with host-nation agencies and U.S. embassy stakeholders.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an implementation support mechanism for INL law enforcement training: not just paying for isolated workshops, but building a reliable, compliant pipeline for moving personnel to the right trainings, bringing the right experts into the country, and ensuring logistical execution does not slow down or derail capacity-building goals. The expected end result is faster, more consistent delivery of training and technical assistance, stronger professional ties and knowledge exchange between Dominican institutions and regional partners (especially Colombia), and improved law enforcement capabilities supported through structured, well-managed travel and program logistics.Apply for INL18CA0061 WHPDOMREP TRAVLOG 10262018
