About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation is seeking cooperative agreement applications to prevent advanced technologies from flowing to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The grant opportunity focuses on engaging authorities from key economies and private sector entities to strengthen strategic trade controls (STCs) and mitigate technology acquisition risks. Applicants must demonstrate capabilities in developing mechanisms to prevent CCP acquisition of weaponizable and dual-use technologies, with specific emphasis on critical technology sectors including artificial intelligence models, advanced semiconductors, and quantum information science. Evaluation criteria will likely prioritize proposals that show robust strategic approaches to identifying and blocking technology transfers, as well as engagement with international stakeholders. The application deadline is August 6, 2025, with the grant opportunity officially posted on July 24, 2025.
Typical award values for this federal grant program range between $200,000 and $3.7 million, with performance periods typically spanning two to three years. The grant is part of the Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program, which supports global export control and border security capacity building. While a specific geographic focus is not explicitly stated, the program traditionally targets international partners in regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. The cooperative agreement will support ongoing U.S. foreign policy objectives of preventing technological proliferation and maintaining strategic technological advantages.
Synopsis
This award will help government and private sector take effective measures to prevent the flow of advanced technologies to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that would enable it to advance its military, technological, and economic dominance goals. Award activities shall include engaging and strengthening the abilities of authorities from key economies in the supply chain for a wide variety of critical technologies to use STCs and related measures to prevent the CCP and its affiliates' acquisition of weaponizable and dual-use technologies. Activities shall also engage private sector and other relevant entities developing or producing artificial intelligence models, advanced semiconductors, quantum information science and technology, and related technologies to strengthen their abilities to identify and mitigate the risk of acquisition of their technology by actors affiliated with the CCP.
