Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Track II Dialogue on Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" (Funding Opportunity Number 20091019EAP) is a discretionary U.S. government grant administered by the Department of State, Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. Its purpose is narrowly focused: to fund one expert organization to convene and facilitate an unofficial, inclusive, and collaborative "Track II" dialogue aimed at advancing discussion on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and related regional security and nonproliferation concerns. In practical terms, the grant is meant to support an informal but high-level discussion forum where sensitive multilateral nuclear issues can be explored outside formal diplomatic negotiating structures, while still involving participants with serious policy, defense, and technical backgrounds.
The program is structured as a single, one-time award with an expected number of awards of 1. The total estimated funding is $99,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $99,000, meaning the agency anticipated making one award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting that the core activity is a specialized policy dialogue and convening effort rather than a more standard program area.
The dialogue envisioned by the announcement is tied to the countries involved in the Six-Party Talks: the United States, Russia, China, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), Japan, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). The grant would support convenings that allow for participation by civilian experts, military representatives, and other government agency officials from these countries to meet and discuss shared regional security challenges and nuclear nonproliferation issues. While Track II dialogues are unofficial, they are typically designed to enable candid exchanges, build understanding, test ideas, and keep channels of communication open, particularly when formal negotiations are stalled or politically constrained.
Eligibility is open to several types of organizations, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than universities). However, the eligibility standard is more demanding than organizational type alone. The announcement emphasizes that applicants must be capable of organizing and successfully facilitating high-level intergovernmental discussion forums in informal settings on sensitive multilateral nuclear nonproliferation issues. It specifically highlights a preference for organizations with demonstrated and substantial track records of success in Northeast Asia-related dialogues and comparable nonproliferation convening work, signaling that the Department of State was looking for a highly experienced convenor with credibility across multiple national and institutional perspectives.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on October 20, 2009, created on October 19, 2009, and had an application deadline (original and current closing date) of November 30, 2009, with an archive date of December 30, 2009. The announcement includes a point of contact for access issues or questions: Ariel Wyckoff, Program Analyst in EAP, reachable by phone at 202-647-1215. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a small, targeted award intended to support a structured, high-level policy dialogue process that complements formal diplomacy by bringing together experienced participants to address denuclearization and broader security dynamics on the Korean Peninsula.
