Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN) and its Office of Export Control Cooperation (ISN/ECC), issued a Request for Applications for a cooperative agreement focused on strengthening Kazakhstan's strategic trade control system. The core purpose of the opportunity is practical capacity-building: the selected recipient would help the Government of Kazakhstan improve how it manages and enforces controls related to sensitive and dual-use items by delivering training aimed at key private-sector actors who sit at critical points in the supply chain.
The project centers on running two separate, one-day workshops specifically designed for brokers and freight forwarders. These groups are often responsible for arranging shipments, preparing documentation, and navigating customs and logistics, so they can play a major role in preventing illicit procurement and diversion when they understand export control requirements, red flags, and compliance practices. The workshops are intended to improve awareness and implementation of strategic trade controls in day-to-day operations, supporting broader nonproliferation goals by reducing the risk that controlled goods or technologies could be moved improperly through commercial channels.
Funding for the award is estimated at approximately $100,000 total, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and a floor of $0, and the program anticipated making one award. Cost sharing or matching was not required. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement during implementation (for example, coordinating on agenda content, participant targeting, or alignment with Kazakhstan's existing framework and priorities) rather than simply providing a grant with minimal ongoing engagement.
Eligible applicants included U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under that specific category), private and public institutions of higher education, and Public International Organizations. The opportunity was categorized under "Nonproliferation" and tied to CFDA 19.901, Export Control and Related Border Security, reflecting its alignment with export control capacity-building and border security-related objectives. The announcement was posted March 25, 2013, with an application deadline of April 15, 2013, and it was archived on May 15, 2013.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice directed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center, providing the standard support phone number and email address.
