About this program
The Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security administers Research and Development - Physical Security Programs (CFDA 19.031), which funds development, testing, and certification of countermeasures against terrorism threats targeting U.S. government employees and facilities, with the most recent grant award disbursed on July 31, 2016.
This program is not currently active. The portfolio reflects a single Project Grant award of $38 thousand obligated a decade ago, with no grant opportunities posted recently and no indication of ongoing solicitation. No current funding opportunity is open for application.
The program funds three distinct research and development lines: the Vehicle Anti-Ram program, which develops passive and active anti-ram designs to reduce protection costs; the Blast Mitigation program, which develops, tests, and fields systems and techniques protecting USG employees and property from explosive attacks; and the Forced-Entry Ballistic-Resistance program, which develops and certifies forced-entry and ballistic-resistant construction products and systems. All research outputs directly benefit USG personnel and facilities as end users.
Eligible applicants include ABET-certified academic institutions, colleges and universities of higher education located in the United States and its territories, state and local government institutions certified by OSHA and ASTM standards, and Federally recognized Indian Tribal governments. The program encourages proposals from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and tribal governments. Awards carry an anticipated period of performance of five years. Evaluation criteria rank experience first, qualified facility second, principal officer or project lead third, and cost proposal fourth.
The single historical award (Project Grant STS80016GR051 in 2016) obligated $37,950 against a completion date approximately one month after award, suggesting this may have been a pilot or planning activity rather than a full research engagement.
Organizations monitoring this program should verify current status with the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security before investing in proposal development, as the decade-long funding hiatus and absence of posted opportunities suggest the program may be inactive or undergoing restructuring.
