Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0009162
The grant opportunity titled Strategic Trade Control Capacity in East/Southeast Asia (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0009162) is a discretionary funding program issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, under CFDA 19.901. It will be administered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the project (for example, coordinating on program direction, deliverables, or implementation details) rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement.
The core goal of the opportunity is to strengthen the ability of Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) partner countries in East and Southeast Asia to implement and enforce strategic trade controls. In practical terms, this focuses on helping partner governments build the legal, institutional, and operational capacity needed to prevent sensitive goods, technologies, and know-how from being diverted to illicit or proliferation-related end uses. The scope also explicitly includes related risk-mitigation mechanisms that support strategic trade control objectives, such as foreign direct investment (FDI) screening regimes, which can help governments identify and manage national security risks that might arise when foreign investment could enable access to sensitive technologies or critical supply chains.
The program is framed around mitigating proliferation risks, meaning the intended outcomes are tied to preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction and associated delivery systems, as well as reducing the likelihood that controlled dual-use items and advanced technologies move through regional trade channels to unauthorized actors. Capacity-building in this context commonly involves improvements to enforcement practices, interagency coordination, licensing and compliance processes, information-sharing systems, and the development or refinement of rules and procedures that align with international strategic trade control norms.
Eligibility is broad and includes a mix of U.S. and foreign organizations. Eligible applicants include domestic non-federal entities such as state and local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations. The opportunity is also open to foreign nonprofit organizations, foreign public entities (including foreign public international organizations), and both domestic and foreign for-profit organizations, with the important condition that for-profit applicants must waive any fee or profit. This structure is designed to allow a range of implementers, such as universities, nonprofits, research organizations, and specialized technical providers, to propose and carry out activities that directly support EXBS partner capacity needs in the region.
Financially, the award ceiling is listed as $1,850,000, and the agency anticipates making up to three awards. The original closing date for submissions was April 19, 2024, and the opportunity record indicates a creation date of March 29, 2024. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at funding practical, partner-focused assistance that strengthens strategic trade control systems in East and Southeast Asia, with an emphasis on real-world enforcement and governance tools that reduce proliferation and diversion risks.Apply for DFOP0009162
