Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006758
The Security and Strategic Trade Management Academy (SSTMA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006758) is a U.S. Department of State funding announcement administered by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. It was released on April 7, 2020, with an original application deadline of June 8, 2020. The opportunity is offered as a discretionary award, meaning funding decisions are made competitively and based on how well proposals align with the program goals and evaluation criteria. The assistance instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a closer working relationship between the recipient and the government compared to a standard grant, often involving substantial federal involvement in program design, implementation, or oversight.
The central purpose of SSTMA is capacity-building: it supports training for foreign government officials on strategic trade management. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen how partner governments develop and run systems that control and monitor sensitive trade. The training focus spans three core areas: policy (how governments set rules and frameworks for controlling strategic goods and technologies), licensing (how export or transfer authorizations are reviewed, issued, and managed), and enforcement (how authorities detect, investigate, and respond to violations, including interagency coordination and compliance measures). The broader intent is to improve international practices that reduce the risk of proliferation and illicit diversion of controlled items, while helping governments build more effective, transparent, and consistent trade control regimes.
The funding ceiling for the single expected award is up to $1,200,000, and the announcement anticipates making one award in total. The listing is associated with CFDA number 19.901. Eligibility is not limited to a narrow set of applicants and is described broadly as "Others," with the expectation that interested organizations would consult the eligibility clarification language in the full notice. In many State Department training and capacity-building programs, this kind of eligibility category can encompass entities such as nonprofits, academic institutions, and other qualified organizations with demonstrated experience delivering technical assistance and professional training to international audiences, particularly in areas connected to export controls, customs enforcement, border security, compliance systems, or related governance and rule-of-law topics.
Overall, SSTMA is a specialized foreign assistance training opportunity aimed at improving partner-country capabilities in strategic trade management by providing structured instruction and practical guidance for officials responsible for setting trade control policy, administering licensing processes, and enforcing regulations. The cooperative agreement structure and the single, relatively high funding ceiling suggest an expectation of a comprehensive training effort that could include curriculum development, expert-led instruction, scenario-based exercises, and coordination with the Department of State to ensure the training supports U.S. nonproliferation and strategic trade security objectives.Apply for SFOP0006758
