Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strategic Trade Control Implementing Regulations Review - U.A.E." (Funding Opportunity Number S-PMECO-10-RFA-02), was issued by the U.S. Department of State through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN), specifically the Office of Export Control Cooperation (ISN/ECC). The program sits within the nonproliferation space and is aimed at strengthening strategic trade controls by supporting the United Arab Emirates government in improving the regulations that put its export control system into practice. In practical terms, the awardee would work directly with UAE officials to examine the country s existing implementing regulations for strategic trade controls, identify where those rules need to be adjusted to align with widely accepted international standards, and help draft revised regulatory language.
The core deliverable is not general training or awareness raising, but hands-on regulatory review and drafting support. The recipient is expected to help UAE counterparts pinpoint specific regulatory amendments that would bring their implementing regulations into closer conformity with international norms used to control the movement of sensitive, dual-use, and proliferation-relevant items. This includes the kind of detailed work that typically involves comparing existing national regulations against recognized best practices, mapping gaps, proposing concrete changes, and assisting with the preparation of updated text that the UAE could adopt through its internal rulemaking processes.
The opportunity is a discretionary grant with an anticipated single award. Total estimated funding is USD 100,000, with an award ceiling of USD 100,000 and no stated minimum (award floor of USD 0). Cost sharing or matching is not required. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" with a clarification that it relates to nonproliferation, reinforcing that the project purpose is tied to counter-proliferation objectives through improved export control governance.
Eligibility covers a range of organizational types. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that subcategory), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and public international organizations. The listing also notes "Others" with reference to additional eligibility information, but the clearly named eligible groups are those above. The grant was posted on February 2, 2010, and closed on March 3, 2010, with an archive date of April 2, 2010, indicating it is an older, time-limited funding call rather than an open or recurring solicitation.
Applicants interested in the complete Request for Application were directed to request the full announcement from the program manager, Gerald Guilbert, at the Office of Export Control Cooperation. The contact details provided include email (GuilbertGL@state.gov) and a phone number (202-647-1778), with the note that this contact could assist if there were problems accessing the announcement electronically.
