Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of State, specifically the Office of Export Control Cooperation (ISN/ECC), and it seeks proposals to run a focused, intensive one-week seminar in Riyadh for Saudi Arabian government officials. The seminar is titled "Seminar on the Globalization of Strategic Trade Controls" and sits within the broader nonproliferation mission area, meaning the core purpose is to strengthen systems that prevent the spread of sensitive goods, technologies, and know-how that could contribute to weapons of mass destruction or other destabilizing military capabilities. The program is designed as a practical capacity-building effort, centered on strategic trade controls and how those controls operate in an increasingly globalized supply chain environment.
Funding is offered as a discretionary grant, with ISN/ECC expecting to make a single award. The estimated total funding available is about $143,000, and the award ceiling is also $143,000, indicating the Department planned to fund one complete seminar program up to that amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as nonproliferation, which signals the seminar is not a standard education or exchange program but a targeted technical or policy training activity tied to export control and security objectives.
Eligibility is relatively broad for an overseas training program of this type. Eligible applicants include individuals, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than universities), and public international organizations. In practical terms, this opens the door to universities, policy institutes, specialized nonprofits, and independent experts with credible experience in export controls and strategic trade compliance. The work would involve developing and delivering the curriculum and coordinating the on-the-ground execution in Riyadh for Saudi government participants.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on September 8, 2010, with an application deadline (original and current) of September 21, 2010, and an archive date of October 21, 2010. The opportunity number is S-PMECO-10-RFA-11. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (not elsewhere classified), which is sometimes used when an activity does not map neatly onto a single standard assistance listing. For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact was Gerald Guilbert, Program Manager at the Department of State, reachable by phone at 202-647-1778 or by email at GuilbertGL@state.gov.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a short-duration, high-intensity training engagement funded by the U.S. government to support Saudi counterparts in understanding and implementing modern strategic trade control concepts, with an emphasis on the realities of globalization, cross-border trade, and the kinds of controls and institutional practices used to manage proliferation and diversion risks.
