DFOP0017371 NOFO Package.zip

This document is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a Cooperative Agreement under the Department of State's Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program, CFDA Number 19.901. The federal grant opportunity aims to prevent advanced technologies from flowing to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) by strengthening supply chain authorities' capabilities to use Strategic Trade Controls (STCs) and mitigate technology acquisition risks.

The grant specifically targets engaging government and private sector entities working with critical technologies such as artificial intelligence, advanced semiconductors, and quantum information science. The Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation will award funding to support activities that help key economies identify and prevent weaponizable and dual-use technology transfers to CCP-affiliated actors. While specific award amounts are not detailed in this document, the EXBS program typically awards between $200,000 to $1.6 million with performance periods of two to three years, focusing on enhancing global export controls and border security capabilities.
