Opportunity Summary:
The "Licensing Roundtable - Taiwan" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ISN-ISNECC-12-010) is a U.S. government-funded, discretionary cooperative agreement focused on nonproliferation and strategic trade controls. Managed by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation under CFDA 19.901 (Export Control and Related Border Security), it supports a single award with an estimated total funding amount of up to $70,000, which also serves as the award ceiling. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and the award floor is listed as $0. The opportunity was posted and created on August 30, 2012, with an application closing date of September 14, 2012, and an archive date of October 14, 2012.
The core requirement is for the recipient organization to plan and deliver one advanced licensing roundtable designed for Taiwan's Bureau of Foreign Trade, along with other Taiwanese agencies involved in strategic trade controls. The event is intended to bring together up to 20 Taiwanese participants who have direct responsibilities related to export licensing and associated review functions. Rather than serving as an introductory training, the roundtable is meant to deepen practical, operational understanding of how effective licensing systems work in mature export control environments, especially when dealing with sensitive items, end-use and end-user risk, and complex transactions that may implicate proliferation concerns.
A central emphasis of the roundtable is comparative learning: participants should gain an advanced understanding of how licensing officials in other countries handle key decision points and workflow elements. The announcement specifically calls out topics such as identifying and acting on "red flags" in applications or supporting documentation, using technical reachback standard operating procedures (SOPs) to obtain expert input on technical parameters or classification questions, and applying triggers for secondary review when a case requires escalation, additional due diligence, or interagency coordination. In practice, this suggests the program should walk through how licensing authorities detect risk indicators, what information they seek to validate, how they structure internal reviews, and how they document and justify licensing outcomes in a consistent, defensible way.
To deliver that international perspective, the roundtable is expected to include subject-matter experts from advanced nations with well-established export control and licensing frameworks. The notice highlights South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, while leaving room for other appropriate countries depending on the final program design. The intent is not simply to provide lectures, but to expose Taiwanese officials to real-world approaches used by peer regulators and licensing practitioners, including how they coordinate across agencies, interface with industry, and manage licensing decisions under time pressure and incomplete information.
The format is encouraged to be practical and interactive. Beyond presentations, the workshop "could supplement" content with interactive discussions, hands-on case exercises, and concrete next steps. That language points toward scenario-based learning where participants evaluate mock applications, spot red flags, decide when to request technical reachback, determine whether a case merits secondary review, and compare how different countries might resolve the same fact pattern. It also implies the event should end with actionable takeaways, such as refined review checklists, draft process improvements, or agreed-upon follow-on coordination steps among Taiwan stakeholders involved in licensing and strategic trade control enforcement.
Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov).
