Opportunity Summary:

The Strategic Trade Control Model Law Training - Yemen grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number S-PMECO-10-RFA-10A) was issued by the U.S. Department of State's Office of Export Control Cooperation as a discretionary grant focused on nonproliferation. The purpose of the funding is to support training related to a strategic trade control "model law" in Yemen, which generally means helping build or strengthen a legal and institutional framework to regulate trade in sensitive or controlled items and reduce the risk of illicit procurement or proliferation-related transfers. The program is positioned under an "Other" funding activity category, clarified in the announcement as nonproliferation.

The government anticipated making a single award under this opportunity, with total estimated funding of $100,000. The award ceiling was set at $100,000 and the award floor at $0, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The listing used a placeholder CFDA number of 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when a program is not mapped to a specific, established assistance listing.

Eligibility was fairly broad and included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, individuals, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The announcement also specified that public international organizations were eligible, expanding the pool to include certain international entities that operate with governmental or quasi-governmental standing. This combination of eligible applicants suggests the agency was open to proposals from universities, specialized nonprofits, and technical experts capable of delivering legal, policy, or compliance-focused training tied to strategic trade controls.

Timing-wise, the notice emphasized an extension to the deadline. While the opportunity originally carried a closing date of September 21, 2010, the application submission deadline was extended to 5:00 PM EDT on Tuesday, September 28, 2010. The posting and creation dates were listed as September 22, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on October 28, 2010. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Gerald Guilbert, Program Manager, reachable by phone at 202-647-1778 and by email at GuilbertGL@state.gov.
