Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (DOS-ISN), released a discretionary funding opportunity called "Advancing Industry Outreach in Ukraine" (Opportunity Number: ISN ISNECC 16 004). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the government expects to be actively involved in shaping or coordinating parts of the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. The opportunity was posted on February 26, 2016, created the same day, and had an application deadline of April 15, 2016 (with no later extension reflected in the listing).
The purpose of the program is to strengthen how Ukraine implements and enforces strategic trade controls, with a specific focus on outreach to industry and better coordination among government bodies. The recipient is expected to support the State Service for Export Control of Ukraine and other relevant Ukrainian agencies in improving their practices for engaging companies that handle, produce, ship, or broker "strategic goods." In this context, strategic goods typically refers to items that can have military, dual-use, or proliferation-sensitive applications, where effective controls help prevent diversion, illicit transfer, or misuse. A central theme is improving compliance culture through practical industry outreach, such as clearer guidance, more consistent messaging, and more effective communication channels between regulators and the private sector.
Another major objective is improving interagency cooperation inside Ukraine for enforcing strategic trade controls. Enforcement of export controls often requires coordinated action and information-sharing among export control authorities, customs, border services, law enforcement, and other ministries or regulatory bodies. This grant envisions assistance that helps these entities work together more smoothly, which can include aligning procedures, clarifying roles and responsibilities, improving referral mechanisms, and building routine coordination practices so that industry outreach and enforcement are mutually reinforcing rather than siloed.
Funding details include an award ceiling of $170,000, with an expectation of up to four awards. The eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status in the United States, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing references CFDA 19.901 and categorizes the activity area as "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into a single standard program category but falls within the broader international security and nonproliferation mission space. Overall, the opportunity is designed to deliver targeted technical and programmatic support that helps Ukrainian authorities engage industry more effectively and collaborate across agencies to strengthen strategic trade control enforcement.
