Emerging Threats

The Department of State administers the Emerging Threats program (CFDA 19.047) to identify, prevent, or mitigate emerging technological threats to U.S. national security interests by working with allies and partners to strengthen cybersecurity and resilience against malicious cyber activity and protect critical infrastructure, with the most recent grant opportunity due October 16, 2026.

The source provides no portfolio of recent grant awards, making it impossible to establish award cadence, typical award magnitudes, assistance-type distribution, or funding concentration. The program's activity level and recency are therefore not discernible from available data.

The single open grant opportunity currently posted is a Cooperative Agreement solicitation (DFOP0019791, "Advisory Support for Establishing a National Cybersecurity Operations Center") due October 16, 2026, posted September 10, 2026. This opportunity targets advisory support to Argentina to design, establish, and operationalize a centralized, civilian-led national Cybersecurity Operations Center capable of preventing, detecting, analyzing, and responding to advanced cyber threats targeting Argentine government networks and critical infrastructure in alignment with U.S. and allied security practices. The solicitation is open to nonprofit organizations including think tanks and civil society organizations; public and private educational institutions; public international organizations and government institutions; Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs); and for-profit organizations.

Award amounts, typical award size, and award frequency are not specified in the source. The program description directs applicants to review individual NOFOs on Grants.gov for specific information on funding availability, award mechanics, and program-specific requirements. Recipients expending $1,000,000 or more in federal awards must comply with single or program-specific audit requirements per 2 CFR 200, Subpart F.
