Opportunity Information: Apply for INL22CA0063 WHPELSAL MHATP 072122
The Mental Health Awareness and Training Program for El Salvador Police Force is a U.S. Department of State initiative run through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) that is seeking one organization to implement a targeted mental health awareness and training effort for El Salvador's National Civil Police (PNC). The opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the selected implementer should expect substantial coordination with the U.S. government during planning and execution rather than operating completely independently. The overall focus is squarely on practical, short-format education that can reach police personnel efficiently and improve day-to-day wellbeing, with an emphasis on stress resilience and awareness of available resources.
At the core of the grant is a straightforward goal: expand mental health awareness across PNC personnel by delivering brief sessions that normalize mental health conversations, help officers recognize stress and related challenges, and point them toward support resources. The description signals an approach meant to be accessible and scalable inside a police environment, where long trainings can be hard to schedule and stigma can be a barrier. Rather than building a full clinical service program, the project is framed as an awareness and training intervention, likely designed to strengthen early recognition, encourage help-seeking, reduce misconceptions, and promote healthier coping strategies in a high-stress occupation.
The funding opportunity is identified as INL22CA0063 (WHPELSAL MHATP 072122) and falls under the Law, Justice, and Legal Services activity category, with CFDA number 19.705. The award ceiling is up to $500,000, and INL anticipates making a single award, suggesting a single lead implementer will be responsible for designing and delivering the program rather than a large multi-award portfolio. The competition originally opened on July 21, 2022, with an original closing date of September 21, 2022, which provides context on the solicitation timeline even if the posting is now historical.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. In practice, that typically indicates INL is open to a range of qualified organizations (often including non-profits, NGOs, educational institutions, and potentially certain private entities) as long as they can demonstrate relevant experience, credible technical capacity, and the ability to work in coordination with police institutions and U.S. government oversight requirements. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the implementing organization would generally be expected to collaborate closely with INL on program design choices, monitoring, and any adjustments needed during implementation.
In plain terms, this grant is about equipping El Salvador police personnel with concise, practical mental health education and clearer pathways to support. The outcome INL is aiming for is a police force that is more informed about mental health, better prepared to manage occupational stress, and more aware of resources that can improve officer wellbeing and resilience.Apply for INL22CA0063 WHPELSAL MHATP 072122
