About this program
The Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (CFDA 11.113) has not issued grant awards since December 2014, making this program inactive for more than eleven years. The program historically funded manufacturing competitiveness and export assistance projects through 85 Project Grants and one Cooperative Agreement totaling $139.6 million in federal obligations between 2000 and 2014, with award volume declining from nine awards in 2010 to six per year by 2013–2014.
Funded activities included grants to U.S. manufacturers of specified worsted wool fabrics under Section 4002 of the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004; research and development programs for the textile and apparel industries; international trade technical assistance to small businesses in specific regions; and trade development and export support initiatives. The program awarded grants ranging from under $25 thousand to approximately $3.7 million, with representative recent awards including $1.77 million for Section 4002 implementation (2014), $500 thousand for education and student intern support with trade seminars and trade missions (2011), and $2 million for research on advanced polymeric materials at Auburn University (2006).
All 85 awards came from the Department of Commerce International Trade Administration, with assistance delivered entirely through Project Grants (99 percent of awards) and a single Cooperative Agreement. The most recent opportunity—posted August 25, 2014, with October 3, 2014 due date—solicited applications from U.S. manufacturers of worsted wool fabrics meeting production criteria from 1999–2001, with $5.3 million total available ($2.67 million per fabric category). Eligibility was restricted to manufacturers who actively wove eligible fabrics in the United States as of the application date.
No grant opportunities have been posted since 2014, and no awards have been issued since December 2014. The program appears dormant or defunct and is not a viable pursuit target.
