DFOP0018157 NOFO Package.zip

This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) package for the Department of State's "Data Analytics & AI to Counter Global Diversion" cooperative agreement program. The opportunity addresses export control challenges through three integrated components: (1) analysis of trade data with creation of dashboards and training for export control authorities on data-driven implementation; (2) design, development, and deployment of a smartphone-accessible application enabling frontline officers to detect and identify export-controlled commodities; and (3) training for recipients to engage regulated industry effectively based on identified proliferation trends. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, indicating collaborative partnership between the Department of State and selected recipients to accomplish these export control objectives.

The NOFO package provides comprehensive application materials and requirements for interested organizations to respond to this funding opportunity. Applicants should review all included documentation—such as the Request for Application guidelines, required federal forms, evaluation criteria, budget instructions, and technical specifications—to prepare a complete and competitive proposal. Organizations must address all three components or specified components as outlined in the detailed NOFO requirements, demonstrating capability in trade data analysis, software development, or export control training as applicable to their proposed work.
