About this opportunity
The Department of State is soliciting cooperative agreement applications to strengthen U.S. advanced technology protection from Chinese diversion across the Near East & Asia, Western Hemisphere, and East Asia-Pacific regions, with applications due July 20, 2026.
The funding supports three lines of effort targeting distinct geographic and functional priorities. LOE 1 strengthens Gulf Cooperation Council governments' capacity to implement U.S. AI license conditions, detect and prevent diversion of U.S.-origin advanced technologies, and counter Chinese exploitation of regional transshipment hubs. LOE 2 assists priority Western Hemisphere countries in designing and enforcing fair, effective investment screening mechanisms to block Chinese access to sensitive technologies, critical infrastructure, and minerals essential to defense supply chains. LOE 3 reinforces export controls and oversight of free trade and special economic zones across ASEAN and Mongolia to disrupt Chinese diversion of emerging and dual-use technologies through regional trading hubs.
The cooperative agreement structure positions the State Department as an active partner in implementation, with grantees working collaboratively rather than independently. Work is performed across multiple regions (NEA, WHA, and EAP) with focus on government capacity-building, technology controls, and supply-chain security in priority host nations.
The source does not specify eligible applicant categories, cost share requirements, award ceilings, expected number of awards, period of performance, evaluation criteria, or the parent grant program's Assistance Listing number. Applicants should review the full NOFO package (DFOP0018150) for these essential details and application instructions.
Synopsis
This NOFO combats China's efforts to acquire U.S.-origin advanced technologies and control critical supply-chain nodes that enable proliferation-relevant capabilities. LOE 1 strengthens GCC governments' ability to implement U.S. AI license conditions, detect and prevent diversion of U.S.-origin advanced technologies, and counter Chinese exploitation of regional transshipment hubs. LOE 2 helps priority Western Hemisphere countries design and enforce fair, effective investment screening to block Chinese access to sensitive technologies, critical infrastructure, and minerals essential to defense supply chains. LOE 3 reinforces export controls and oversight of free trade and special economic zones across ASEAN and Mongolia to disrupt Chinese diversion of emerging and dual‑use technologies through regional trading hubs.
