Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, through the Office of Export Control Cooperation (ISN/ECC), issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for a project focused on helping the Government of Oman strengthen its strategic trade control framework. The grant is aimed at supporting the development and improvement of Oman's strategic trade control legislation and the implementing regulations that make those laws workable in practice. In other words, the activity is designed to help Oman build a clearer and more effective legal and regulatory system to control sensitive trade in a way that supports nonproliferation objectives and responsible cross-border commerce.
This opportunity is a discretionary funding program and will be awarded as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating on workplans, milestones, deliverables, and technical direction). The funding activity aligns with nonproliferation goals and falls under CFDA 19.901, "Export Control and Related Border Security," indicating that the project is part of broader efforts to improve export control systems and related enforcement capacity.
ISN/ECC anticipated making a single award under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was approximately $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and a nominal award floor of $1. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can reduce barriers to applying for organizations that do not have additional resources to contribute.
Eligible applicants were limited to U.S.-based entities and certain international bodies. Specifically, the program welcomed proposals from U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that particular category), U.S. educational institutions (including public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education), and public international organizations (PIOs). The purpose of these eligibility limits is to ensure applicants have the institutional standing, compliance infrastructure, and technical credibility needed to provide legal-regulatory assistance and capacity-building support to a foreign government partner.
The announcement was posted on October 11, 2011, with an application deadline of November 21, 2011, and an archive date of December 21, 2011. Applicants were directed to consult the full RFA document for the detailed scope of work, required proposal components, and submission procedures.
