Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Mid and Executive Level Management and Leadership Training Seminars" was a discretionary funding competition issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It focused on delivering management and leadership training seminars for the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF), which is Lebanon's national police force. The intent of the program was to strengthen the ISF's leadership and organizational management capacity by supporting training aimed at mid-level and executive-level personnel, with the broader theme falling under law enforcement professionalism and institutional development within the criminal justice system space.
Funding was to be provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expected to have substantial involvement during implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal ongoing engagement. The opportunity was categorized under "Law, Justice and Legal Services" and tied to CFDA 19.703, "Criminal Justice Systems." Applicants were not required to provide cost sharing or matching funds, which typically lowers barriers to participation and allows organizations to propose activities based on program needs rather than fundraising capacity.
The funding range was relatively wide: awards could be as small as $100,000 and as large as $2,000,000, allowing proposals that scaled from a limited seminar series to a more comprehensive training program. The announcement was posted on July 21, 2015, with an application deadline of September 15, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on October 15, 2015, indicating the competition had closed and moved out of the active listings.
Eligibility was open to several types of organizations that commonly implement training and capacity-building programs. These included nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education within that nonprofit category), as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. In practice, this eligibility structure suggests INL was looking for implementers with demonstrated training expertise, leadership development experience, and the capacity to work in an international law enforcement setting, potentially including universities and specialized training organizations.
