Opportunity Summary:
The Global Nuclear Security Effectiveness Study is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity issued by the Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction within the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN/CTR). It is set up as an open competition seeking an independent assessment of how effective ISN/CTR programming has been under its Partnership for Nuclear Security (PNS), with the work for this specific award focused on Morocco. The overall goal is not to run new nuclear security activities, but to evaluate existing engagement and produce a rigorous, evidence-based analysis that decision-makers can use to judge results, identify gaps, and adjust future approaches.
PNS is described as an effort to promote a self-sufficient nuclear security culture that becomes embedded within a partner country’s nuclear technical organizations. In practical terms, this grant calls for an assessment of PNS engagement in Morocco, including initiatives intended to connect and influence both academic and government nuclear stakeholders. The study is meant to look at what PNS did, how it interacted with Moroccan institutions, and whether those interactions contributed to lasting capabilities, norms, and practices associated with nuclear security culture. The deliverable emphasis is on producing an empirical basis for policy choices, which signals a preference for concrete methods and measurable findings rather than purely descriptive reporting.
The Department of State plans to make one award under this announcement, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally implies that the government expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on scope, access, or review of outputs), while the recipient conducts the study. Approximately $370,000 was available for the award in the fiscal year referenced. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, and the listed award floor is $0 with a ceiling of $370,000.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education, along with other categories referenced in the posting. Although not presented as a strict eligibility rule, ISN/CTR notes a clear preference for applicants who are not currently implementing nonproliferation engagement activities for ISN/CTR, with the intent of reducing conflicts of interest and supporting an unbiased evaluation.
The opportunity was posted June 20, 2014, and had an original and current closing date of July 14, 2014, with an archive date of August 13, 2014. The funding opportunity number is ISN ISNCTR 14 004, and it is associated with CFDA 19.033 (Global Threat Reduction). For access issues with the full announcement, the listing directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (support@grants.gov, 1-800-518-4726).
