Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Industry/Government Outreach - Saudi Arabia" (Funding Opportunity Number ISN-ISNECC-12-008), was issued by the U.S. Department of State through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, specifically the Office of Export Control Cooperation (ISN/ECC). It was released as a Request for Application for a single cooperative agreement project focused on nonproliferation objectives, with an emphasis on strengthening export control systems and compliance practices in Saudi Arabia. The core aim is to support practical coordination between government authorities and the private sector, so that export control rules are understood, implemented, and enforced in a consistent and effective way.
The project described is centered on delivering industry-government coordination activities, outreach, and enforcement/compliance trainings for two primary audiences in Saudi Arabia: export control authorities on the government side and private industry representatives who may be involved in trade, shipping, manufacturing, or distribution of controlled or sensitive items. In plain terms, the award is meant to fund a structured set of engagements that help Saudi officials and companies build shared awareness of export control responsibilities, improve interagency and public-private communication, and strengthen the ability to detect, prevent, and respond to violations that could contribute to proliferation risks.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 19.901 (Export Control and Related Border Security), and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as nonproliferation. The total funding amount is fixed at $180,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $180,000, indicating the Department anticipated making one award at that exact amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligible applicants are limited to U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and public, state-controlled, or private institutions of higher education. The announcement also references PIOs in the narrative description, but the formal eligibility section specifies nonprofits and higher education institutions as the eligible categories. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expected to have substantial involvement in guiding or coordinating aspects of the project during performance, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement as in a standard grant.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted on August 9, 2012 (created August 8, 2012), with an application deadline of August 31, 2012, and it was archived on September 30, 2012. The short open period suggests it was targeted at organizations already positioned to deliver export control capacity-building programming, such as groups with established training curricula, subject-matter expertise in strategic trade controls, and experience working with foreign government counterparts and industry audiences.
For access and administrative support, the announcement points applicants to Grants.gov, with the Grants.gov Contact Center available by phone at 1-800-518-4726 and by email at support@grants.gov, primarily for help accessing the full announcement or resolving submission and technical issues.
