Opportunity Summary:
The Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN), announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "UNSCR 1540 Support in the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan" under Funding Opportunity Number ISN ISNECC 16 015. The program is designed to fund one organization to help advance implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1540 in two Central Asian countries: the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan. The core purpose is capacity-building and practical assistance that helps these governments meet their obligations under UNSCR 1540, which focuses on strengthening national measures to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and related materials, particularly by non-state actors.
This opportunity was structured as a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) and categorized under a broad "Other" funding activity classification, signaling that the work may span multiple types of nonproliferation support rather than fitting neatly into a single standard program bucket. The relevant CFDA listing is 19.901, which is commonly associated with Department of State nonproliferation-related assistance programming. The announcement was created on July 19, 2016, with an original application deadline of August 19, 2016, indicating a relatively short window for proposal submission.
Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, explicitly excluding institutions of higher education. The federal government anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), meaning applicants would be competing for one grant intended to cover the full scope of the project across both countries. The maximum available funding (AwardCeiling) was $308,000, which suggests a focused, targeted assistance effort rather than a large multi-year institutional program.
In practical terms, the funded grantee would be expected to provide support that helps Kyrgyz and Tajik counterparts strengthen laws, regulations, enforcement practices, coordination mechanisms, and other national controls aligned with UNSCR 1540. While the notice text is brief, programs of this type typically involve technical advisory support, stakeholder workshops, interagency coordination assistance, gap analyses, development or updating of national action plans, and training that improves authorities' ability to control sensitive materials and related technologies. The overall emphasis is on helping partner governments build sustainable systems that reduce proliferation risks and improve compliance with international nonproliferation norms and commitments.
In summary, this 2016 State Department ISN grant competition sought one qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit to implement a project, capped at $308,000, to support and accelerate UNSCR 1540 implementation efforts in the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan through practical, on-the-ground capacity-building and technical assistance.
