Opportunity Summary:
The Strategic Trade Control Regulations - Afghanistan grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ISN ISNECC 14 014) was a discretionary U.S. government funding opportunity administered by the Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, under the Export Control and Related Border Security program (CFDA 19.901). It was designed to support the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) in developing and drafting strategic trade control regulations that align with international standards. In practical terms, the project focus was on helping Afghanistan build a rules-based system to control sensitive goods, technologies, and related trade activities in ways that reduce proliferation risks and strengthen national and regional security.
The opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government anticipated an active partnership role during implementation rather than a hands-off grant. The activity category was listed as "Other," with an explicit clarification that the work falls under nonproliferation. The program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000. The award ceiling was also $300,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). Cost sharing or matching was not required, which generally lowers barriers to participation for qualified organizations that may not have the resources to provide a financial match.
Eligible applicants included private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The eligibility section also referenced Public International Organizations (PIOs), indicating that certain international or intergovernmental entities could potentially be considered eligible as well, depending on how they fit the program definition and the specific terms in the full announcement.
From a timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on July 31, 2014, with an original closing date of August 15, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of September 5, 2014. The record shows an archive date of October 5, 2014, meaning the application window was time-limited and the announcement was later closed and archived in the grants system. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement online, the listed support channel was the Grants.gov Contact Center (support@grants.gov, 1-800-518-4726), which operates 24/7 except on federal holidays.
Overall, the intent of the funding was capacity-building and regulatory development: helping GIRoA produce strategic trade control regulations that meet recognized international expectations, which typically involves establishing clear legal and administrative requirements for licensing, controls on dual-use items and sensitive technologies, and procedures that support effective enforcement and compliance. The opportunity sat squarely within the nonproliferation and export control assistance space, aiming to strengthen Afghanistan's regulatory framework so that legitimate trade can proceed while higher-risk transactions are more effectively identified and controlled.
