Awarding grants is a key component of
the State Department's Iran policy. As a condition of licensing
these activities, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
requires the Department to conduct vetting of potential Iran
program grantees and sub-grantees for counter-terrorism purposes.
To conduct this vetting, the Department collects information from
grantees and sub-grantees regarding the identity and background of
their key employees, board of directors, and program
participants.
