Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Proliferation Awareness Seminar - Albania and Montenegro" (Funding Opportunity Number ISN ISNECC 14 003), 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 is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expects to have an active role in shaping or overseeing the work during implementation rather than simply awarding funds and stepping back. The program sits under the nonproliferation focus area and is tied to CFDA 19.901, Export Control and Related Border Security, which signals that the work is meant to strengthen partner governments ability to prevent illicit trade in sensitive goods and technologies.
The core purpose of the funding is to support proposals that can deliver two closely related training components for senior or policy-level officials from the Government of Albania (GOA) and the Government of Montenegro (GOM). First, the project must provide a basic proliferation awareness seminar, which generally covers how weapons of mass destruction proliferation happens, the kinds of materials, equipment, and know-how that proliferators seek, and the networks and procurement tactics used to obtain controlled items. Second, it must provide strategic trade control awareness training, which typically focuses on the laws, policies, and interagency processes that governments use to control exports, re-exports, transit, transshipment, and brokering of sensitive items. The emphasis on policy-making officials suggests the program aims to influence high-level understanding and decision-making, not just operational or frontline enforcement, with the broader goal of improving national frameworks and political buy-in for effective export control systems.
Funding for the project is estimated at approximately $98,000 in total, with an award ceiling of $98,000 and a floor of $0, and the Department anticipated making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The opportunity was posted and created on February 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of February 28, 2014, and it was later archived on March 30, 2014, indicating it was a time-limited competition.
Eligible applicants were limited to U.S. nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education within that specific category), public and private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and Public International Organizations (PIOs). In practice, that eligibility pool points to entities with established training capacity, policy expertise, and experience running international seminars or government-to-government capacity building programs. The deliverable implied by the announcement is a structured training event or series of events tailored to Albania and Montenegro, designed to raise awareness of proliferation risks and build understanding of strategic trade controls among officials positioned to shape national policy, coordination mechanisms, and priorities.
