About this file
The provided document is a NOFO (Notice of Funding Opportunity) Applicant Checklist related to the TECHGATE program, a cooperative agreement administered by the Department of State's Cyberspace and Digital Policy Federal Grant Program (CFDA 19.665). The program aims to foster large-scale cyber and digital technology knowledge transfer by encouraging eligible foreign governments to adopt trusted American digital solutions, with a key focus on capacity building and economic sustainability in technology procurement and implementation.
The TECHGATE initiative supports U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by providing a comprehensive approach to technology transfer. It emphasizes structured processes to enhance recipient countries' skills in requirements identification, procurement, logistics, deployment, and configuration. While specific award values are not detailed in this checklist, the related federal grant program typically awards grants ranging from $500,000 to $25 million, with performance periods of 18 to 36 months, targeting low and middle-income countries in areas of cybersecurity, digital infrastructure, and emerging technology standards.
