FY2026 v.1 Open-Source Templates (Grants.gov).zip

This file is a collection of open-source templates for FY2026 grant applications related to a federal funding opportunity administered by the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). The grant opportunity, titled "Balanced Prosecution of Transnational Organized Crime Cases," falls under the Trans-National Crime program (CFDA 19.705) and seeks organizations to develop a software-based weighted, random case-allocation system designed to prevent selective prosecution of transnational organized crime and money laundering cases in Serbia. The project addresses political interference in prosecution services by implementing random case allocation to improve outcomes in extradition cases and cases involving high-level corruption and transnational criminal organization leaders whose activities threaten U.S. national security interests.

The Trans-National Crime program funds law enforcement capacity building and criminal justice sector development across multiple regions, with a portfolio of 519 total grants awarded since 2009. Recent awards have ranged from under $500 thousand to $7 million, with most performance periods lasting one year. Recipients must maintain financial records for three years following award. The program funds investigations into organized crime including narcotics smuggling, environmental crimes, wildlife trafficking, human trafficking, terrorism, and illicit finance. Solicitations are posted year-round on grants.gov, and applicants should refer to specific opportunity announcements for response dates, detailed requirements, audit specifications, and award information.
