US Mission to the International Organizations in Vienna

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) International Organizations in Vienna is the civilian agency component responsible for managing U.S. bilateral development assistance and diplomatic engagement through multilateral institutions headquartered in Vienna, including the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.

No recent contract awards or contract opportunities are recorded against the agency. Grant activity is limited and emerging. The most recent grant opportunity on record is Project Constellation: Building a Constellation of Outer Space Partners at the United Nations, posted August 5, 2026, with a due date of September 4, 2026. This Cooperative Agreement solicitation, funded through Economic Support Funds, targets higher education institutions (both public and private), 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits to design and deliver international training, capacity building, workforce development, educational exchanges, and public diplomacy programming on U.S. civil and commercial space activities. Applicants must demonstrate prior experience in these domains and capacity to execute grant signing by September 31, 2026 and support the October 15–16, 2026 U.S. Space Forum. The program aims to strengthen innovation ecosystems, promote entrepreneurship and commercial engagement, build institutional and workforce capacity, and expand economic opportunities through sustainable international partnerships focused on emerging space economies and implementation of international obligations and best practices adopted through the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.

The agency's grant-making activity appears nascent relative to its diplomatic and multilateral engagement mission. Prospective applicants should verify current grant-award history and pipeline activity directly with the agency to assess whether additional funding opportunities are in development or recently closed.
