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 grant opportunity administered by the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement. The opportunity, titled "Countering Cartel Recruitment in Mexico," seeks a cooperative agreement to implement a comprehensive project aimed at reducing recruitment by organized crime groups in Mexico. The initiative will advance U.S. security interests through prevention, prosecution, and legal reform strategies, engaging stakeholders in key Mexican states to implement intelligence-driven prevention strategies, strengthen public advocacy, enhance prosecutorial capacity, support disengagement programs, and advance legislative reform to criminalize organized crime recruitment.

The project falls under the Trans-National Crime Federal Grant Program (CFDA 19.705), which focuses on minimizing the impact of transnational crime and criminal networks through international cooperation and foreign assistance. Based on historical award patterns within this program, typical federal grant awards range from $500,000 to $7,253,800 with performance periods of 2-3 years. Eligible applicants typically include non-profit organizations. The templates provided are standardized forms designed to facilitate the application process for FY2026 submissions, allowing prospective applicants to prepare compliant proposals aligned with federal grant requirements and agency priorities.
