Opportunity Summary:
The Strategic Trade Management Law Industry Outreach - Mongolia opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ISN ISNECC 12 004) is a U.S. government grant competition run by the Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, focused on nonproliferation through export controls and related border security (CFDA 19.901). It was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to work closely with the U.S. government during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The program anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of up to $200,000 (award ceiling $200,000; award floor $0), with no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The core purpose of the project is to support the Government of Mongolia in building understanding and backing for a draft strategic trade management law. The U.S. government identified a specific gap: Mongolian businesses and industry actors need clearer, practical information about what the draft law would require, what it could mean for day-to-day operations, and how companies would comply once the law is passed. At the same time, Mongolian parliamentarians need targeted outreach and subject matter support to understand why strategic trade management legislation matters and why moving the draft law forward is important. In practice, this is an outreach-and-education effort designed to translate a complex regulatory framework into concrete, understandable guidance for both the private sector and legislators, with the broader goal of strengthening Mongolia s ability to control sensitive trade and reduce proliferation risks.
The opportunity therefore emphasizes the need for subject matter expertise in strategic trade controls, export compliance, and the practical impacts of such legislation on commerce and industry. A successful project under this award would likely involve structured engagement with Mongolian industry and business communities, explaining the draft law in plain terms, clarifying obligations and potential compliance steps, and addressing how companies can prepare internal processes once the legislation is enacted. Parallel engagement would be aimed at parliamentarians, focusing on the national security and international trade rationale for the law, the benefits of having a modern strategic trade management framework, and the risks of not adopting such measures. The intended outcome is improved awareness, understanding, and readiness across key stakeholders so that the law is not only passed with informed support, but also implemented more effectively after adoption.
Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based or otherwise qualifying organizations in three broad categories: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status other than higher education institutions. The announcement was posted and created on July 10, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2012, and it was archived on September 2, 2012. Assistance for accessing the announcement was routed through the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726; support@grants.gov), indicating the application and submission process was expected to occur through the standard federal grants portal.
