Opportunity Summary:
The Licensing Roundtable and Training Workshops - Ukraine grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ISN ISNECC 14 016) was a discretionary U.S. government funding announcement administered by the Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN). It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expected to have substantial involvement in the project as it was carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. The program sits within the nonproliferation mission space and is tied to CFDA 19.901, Export Control and Related Border Security, which generally covers efforts that help partner countries strengthen export controls and related compliance systems to reduce proliferation and illicit transfer risks.
The core purpose of the opportunity was to help Ukraine establish a formal, locally run, and sustainable training program for both new and current licensing officers. In practical terms, the intent was capacity building: developing a training approach that Ukraine could maintain with its own institutions and personnel over time, rather than relying indefinitely on external trainers. The title references both a "roundtable" and "training workshops," which signals a combination of peer exchange (bringing relevant stakeholders together to discuss licensing procedures, challenges, and best practices) and structured instruction (workshops aimed at improving day-to-day licensing competence and consistency). The focus on licensing officers suggests the project was meant to strengthen the human and procedural side of export licensing, including how applications are reviewed, how decisions are documented, how interagency coordination works, and how licensing systems support broader export control compliance.
The announcement anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $195,000, and the award ceiling was also $195,000 (with no stated award floor). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The opportunity was posted on August 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2014, and it was archived on September 28, 2014. That timeline indicates a relatively short application window typical of some targeted, time-sensitive assistance programs.
Eligibility was open to a range of organizational types. This included U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that specific nonprofit category line item), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. The notice also referenced "Others" and specifically included Public International Organizations (PIOs) under eligibility information, indicating that certain international organizations could also apply where permitted. The funding activity category was listed as "Other," with the category explanation clarifying that the work aligns with nonproliferation objectives rather than a standard sector label.
For administrative and access support, the contact information provided pointed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center, including the phone number (1-800-518-4726) and email (support@grants.gov), which is the standard help channel for technical issues related to retrieving or submitting the application package through Grants.gov.
