Opportunity Summary:
The "ATA Executive Forum for the Study of Terrorism" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DS-DSATA-14-001) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program run by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Office of Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government expects to stay actively involved with the recipient in shaping and carrying out the work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal oversight. The purpose is educational in nature and aligns with ATA's broader mission of strengthening partner countries' ability to prevent, deter, and respond to terrorism and terrorist incidents.
At its core, the opportunity funds the design and delivery of senior-level executive forums tailored to specific partner nations. These forums are intended for high-ranking civilian officials from law enforcement and security organizations and are built around an exchange of ideas and practical discussion rather than basic tactical training. The subject matter can cover a wide range of counterterrorism-relevant issues, including law enforcement approaches, legal and judicial frameworks, jurisprudence, prosecution strategy, legislative considerations, and related policy topics. A key feature is that the forum themes are not fixed in advance; instead, they are developed collaboratively in consultation with the grantee, the relevant U.S. Mission (such as the U.S. embassy team in-country), and the partner nation(s) themselves. The goal is to produce country-specific programming that reflects local realities, institutional structures, and the particular challenges a partner nation faces in countering terrorism.
Projects funded under this announcement require international travel to partner nations. The notice provides examples of potential locations such as Indonesia, Kenya, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, Thailand, and Uganda, signaling that the work may involve multiple regions and diverse legal and security environments. In practice, applicants would be expected to have the capacity to plan and execute overseas engagements, coordinate with U.S. government counterparts and foreign host institutions, and manage the logistical and administrative requirements associated with international convenings for senior officials.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, specifically private colleges and universities and public or state-controlled colleges and universities. Cost sharing or matching funds are not required. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Funding details as listed include an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award floor of $5,000 and an award ceiling of $2,500,000, reflecting flexibility in potential award size depending on the proposed scope and the government’s final funding decisions.
Administratively, applications had to be submitted in English, and each applicant was allowed to submit only one application to the announcement. The opportunity was originally posted on February 28, 2014, with a closing date of March 28, 2014, and it was later archived on April 27, 2014. The CFDA number associated with the program is 19.030 (Antiterrorism Assistance - Domestic Training Programs), which situates this funding within the State Department’s broader set of security assistance and capacity-building efforts.
