About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation is seeking applications for the "Build Partner Capabilities to Protect Critical Advanced and Emerging Technologies" federal grant opportunity under the Global Threat Reduction program (CFDA 19.033). The program aims to address the vulnerability of international public and private organizations to the theft and loss of critical advanced and emerging technologies that can be leveraged by malign actors for military end-uses. Key objectives include raising awareness of dual-use risks, strengthening legal and regulatory frameworks, and enhancing cybersecurity and supply chain security. Proposals will be evaluated on criteria such as the applicant's ability to achieve the program's goals, the strength of the project design, and the potential for impact. The application deadline is January 17, 2025.
The total funding ceiling for this opportunity is $30 million, with an anticipated 5 awards. Proposed projects should fall within a budget range of $250,000 to $500,000 to be considered most competitive. The period of performance is 15 months, from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026. Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign non-profit/non-governmental organizations, research centers, higher education institutions, and U.S. for-profit organizations.
Synopsis
Many advanced and emerging technologies have dual-uses and are being sought by adversaries to lower barriers to developing or delivering WMD and advanced conventional weapons as well as enable technological, military, and economic advancement. A significant number of international public and private research organizations, tech industries, and start-up communities are unaware of dual-use applications of critical advanced and emerging technologies and remain vulnerable to theft and loss of critical advanced and emerging technologies, data, intellectual property (IP), knowledge and talent that can be leveraged for military end uses. Malign actors use legal and illegal means such as mergers and acquisitions, joint commercial ventures, talent recruitment programs, research partnerships, cybertheft, state-sponsored industrial espionage, supply chain diversion, or sales or donation of untrustworthy hardware and software to acquire foreign intellectual property and data to advance key priorities.
