💡 Tips for applicants
- Address all three components in your proposal: data analytics, mobile application development, and training programs for stakeholders.
- Demonstrate existing expertise or partnerships in export control, data visualization, or field operations.
- Show how your training approach will build capacity among both government officials and regulated industry partners.
- Clearly explain how the smartphone application improves field detection of export-controlled commodities.
- If your organization is foreign-based, ensure you understand additional compliance and review requirements under State Department regulations.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Failing to address all three project components (data analytics, app development, training) weakens competitiveness. Underestimating the compliance burden for foreign organizations or misunderstanding for-profit eligibility restrictions causes rejections. Proposing unclear or unrealistic timelines for deploying mobile technology across multiple jurisdictions raises reviewer concerns.
