Opportunity Summary:
The U.S.-Oman Senior Policy Exchange and U.S.-GCC Counterproliferation Workshop Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ISN ISNECC 16 009) is a U.S. Department of State grant competition administered by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (DOS-ISN). It is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects to be substantially involved in planning, coordination, and oversight during implementation rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The program is listed under CFDA 19.901 and focuses on practical support for two related diplomatic and security policy engagements: a bilateral senior-level policy exchange with Oman and a regional counterproliferation workshop with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
The core purpose of the grant is straightforward: the selected grantee will support all activities associated with organizing and executing these events. In practice, that kind of “support” generally covers end-to-end workshop and delegation logistics and program management, such as planning agendas and session structures in coordination with the U.S. government, coordinating speakers and subject-matter experts, handling participant travel and lodging as appropriate, arranging meeting venues and conference services, producing materials and read-aheads, managing interpretation or translation needs if required, and ensuring smooth on-site execution. Because the second event is explicitly a counterproliferation workshop tied to the GCC, the program emphasis is likely on strengthening coordination, shared understanding, and practical cooperation among regional partners and the United States on nonproliferation and counterproliferation priorities, including policy frameworks, interdiction concepts, and related capacity-building discussions.
Eligible applicants include U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The award ceiling is $250,000, indicating the project is designed as a modest, targeted implementation effort rather than a large multi-year program. The opportunity was posted on May 24, 2016, with a closing date of July 8, 2016, and it anticipated making awards under that timeline. Overall, this funding opportunity supports U.S. foreign policy and security objectives by enabling structured, professionally run engagements with Omani counterparts and GCC stakeholders on senior policy issues and counterproliferation cooperation.
