About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN/CTR) is seeking cooperative agreement proposals to enforce sanctions on China and Russia by countering their illicit procurement, investment schemes, and financing networks. The Global Threat Reduction program aims to disrupt proliferation activities that enable military modernization and sanctions evasion across global supply chains and financial systems. Applicants must focus on four key objectives: targeted financial sector sanctions engagement, countering private sector sanctions evasion in technology and manufacturing, disrupting trade and logistics sanctions evasion, and conducting targeted public sector sanctions outreach. Evaluation criteria will likely prioritize proposals that demonstrate the highest potential for achieving nonproliferation objectives, with a strong emphasis on projects in the East Asia Pacific region. The application deadline is July 30, 2025, with an anticipated project start date of January 1, 2026.
The funding opportunity will award approximately 10 grants ranging from $250,000 to $5,000,000, with a total available funding of $19,500,000 for fiscal years 2025-2026. Projects are expected to be completed within 15 months, though extensions up to 24 months may be considered if justified. Eligible applicants include U.S. for-profit and non-profit organizations, U.S. and foreign higher education institutions, public international organizations, and foreign public entities. The place of performance will primarily focus on countries in East Asia Pacific, with potential expansion to other strategic regions impacted by Chinese and Russian sanctions evasion activities.
Synopsis
China and Russia systematically exploit global supply chains and the U.S. financial system to acquire proliferation-sensitive goods and technologies and support onward proliferation through illicit trade networks. These actions are in violation of U.S. and international laws and regulations and undermine American security and prosperity and the security of our partners and allies. ISN/CTR conducts global national security programming that counters illicit procurement, investment schemes, and financing networks that China and Russia use to exploit international trade and finance. U.S. and partner country sanctions and economic deterrents target the nodes and sectors that enable China's & Russia's military modernization and sanctions evasion efforts; however, these tools are only as strong as their implementation and enforcement around the globe.
