About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation is seeking applicants for the "Build Partner Capabilities to Protect Semiconductor and CHIPS Technology" grant opportunity. The goal is to enhance protection measures to safeguard semiconductors, associated sensitive technologies, and related intellectual property from diversion and misuse by malign actors. Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign non-profit/non-governmental organizations, higher education institutions, and for-profit businesses. Applications must address gaps in due diligence practices, physical security, and cybersecurity to prevent semiconductor technology, research, data, IP, and talent from being exploited for military end uses. The application deadline is January 17, 2025.
The total funding available is $30 million, with an anticipated 5 awards. The grant is funded through the Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account and will support activities in several partner countries including Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Update #2 · Latest ·
Semiconductors are critical components in a most of today's electronic devices. Semiconductors are also a critical input for the development of military technologies, WMD and WMD delivery system related technologies, and technologies with potential dual-uses - such as artificial intelligence. Malign actors continue to undermine global business and research norms to increase access to semiconductor technology to gain undue economic and military advantages. Malign actors exploit gaps in the application of due diligence practices, physical security, and cybersecurity to acquire semiconductors and related manufacturing technology, as well as enhance their abilities to indigenously develop semiconductors. A significant number of international government, public and private research organizations, companies, and manufacturing organizations are unaware of dual-use applications of semiconductors and remain vulnerable to theft and loss of semiconductors, related research, data, IP, knowledge and talent that can be leveraged for military end uses.
