Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0002238
The Strategic Trade Controls Seminars grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0002238) is a U.S. Department of State program administered by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. It was offered as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the government expects to be substantially involved in coordination, oversight, or collaboration during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
The purpose of the award is to support multiple one-week seminars focused on strategic trade controls for partner countries participating in the Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program. In practical terms, the funded project is meant to deliver short, intensive training events that strengthen how partner governments manage and enforce trade control systems, including controls related to sensitive or dual-use items and border security practices connected to export control enforcement. The emphasis on "multiple" seminars suggests a series of trainings rather than a single event, potentially delivered to different groups, regions, or partner-country cohorts depending on EXBS priorities.
The opportunity was published on July 17, 2017, with an original application deadline of August 25, 2017. The award ceiling was $205,000, and the agency expected to make one award. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the project does not fall neatly into common grant categories and is defined primarily by the specialized training and capacity-building focus described in the notice. The CFDA (now often referred to under assistance listings) number associated with the program is 19.901, which corresponds to State Department assistance related to international security and nonproliferation efforts.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice. This wording usually signals that eligibility may include certain types of organizations such as nonprofits, educational institutions, contractors with relevant expertise, or other entities capable of designing and delivering technical seminars in export controls and border security, but applicants would need to rely on the specific eligibility language in the official posting for confirmation.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at building partner-country capacity through structured, week-long training seminars that reinforce strategic trade control frameworks and implementation skills in support of international security and nonproliferation objectives, with the State Department playing an active role through the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for SFOP0002238
