Opportunity Summary:
The Strategic Trade Control Legislation Development Assistance - Panama opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number S_PMECO_11_RFA_07) is a U.S. Department of State program run through the Office of Export Control Cooperation (ISN/ECC). It offers about $75,000 in total funding to support one project aimed at helping the Government of Panama strengthen its strategic trade control framework. The central purpose is to assist Panama in improving its strategic trade control laws and the implementing regulations that put those laws into practice, with the goal of aligning Panama's system with accepted international standards tied to nonproliferation and responsible control of sensitive goods and technologies.
This grant is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expects to be substantially involved in guiding or coordinating aspects of the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding activity falls under nonproliferation, and it is linked to CFDA number 19.901 (Export Control and Related Border Security), which generally covers programs that improve a partner country's legal, regulatory, and operational capacity to manage export controls and prevent diversion of controlled items to unauthorized end users or illicit programs.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based organizations. Applicants must be either U.S. nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, U.S. educational institutions (including both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education), or public international organizations (PIOs). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, which means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. The award structure is straightforward: the estimated total funding is $75,000, with an award ceiling of $75,000 and an award floor listed as $1, and the agency anticipates making a single award.
The application timeline in the notice shows the opportunity was posted on August 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2011, and an archive date of October 9, 2011. In practical terms, that indicates this particular announcement is historical and was time-limited, but the summary still reflects what the Department of State was seeking for that cycle: proposals that would provide technical assistance to Panama to draft or refine strategic trade control legislation, develop implementing regulations, and help ensure the resulting framework meets international norms and best practices.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or clarifying requirements, the listed point of contact is Gerald Guilbert, Program Manager at the Department of State, reachable by phone at 202-647-1778 or by email at GuilbertGL@state.gov. The notice also indicates that full application instructions and additional details were provided in an attached RFA document, which would normally include specifics on required proposal content, anticipated activities and deliverables, evaluation criteria, and submission procedures.
