Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0010779
Strategic Trade Facilitation in India: Promoting U.S.-India Technology Partnerships (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0010779) is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation under CFDA 19.901. It is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government anticipates being actively involved in shaping or overseeing elements of the project during implementation rather than providing a hands-off grant. The overall purpose is to advance U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by strengthening strategic trade control systems and improving how partner governments prevent, detect, and respond to illicit transfers of sensitive items.
At its core, the project is designed to help ensure that strategic trade controls meet international standards, especially in settings affected by fragility, conflict, or crisis where governance and enforcement gaps can create openings for proliferation and illicit trafficking. The opportunity emphasizes making decision-making structures and processes more reflective of, and responsive to, the needs and perspectives of partner states. In practice, that typically means supporting more effective, inclusive, and workable government processes for licensing, compliance, enforcement coordination, and policy decision-making so that controls are not just written on paper but can be applied consistently and credibly.
The program also focuses on engagement at multiple levels: bilateral (direct U.S.-partner government work), regional (coordination among neighboring or peer countries), and multilateral (alignment with broader international norms and cooperative frameworks). The substantive objective of that engagement is to help foreign governments build independent capabilities to regulate transfers involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD), WMD-related items, conventional arms, and dual-use items (goods, software, or technology that have legitimate civilian applications but could also support military or proliferation activities). Alongside regulatory capacity, the project aims to strengthen the operational side of strategic trade controls: the ability to detect suspicious transfers, interdict prohibited shipments, investigate networks and violations, and prosecute illicit trade cases. In other words, the opportunity is not limited to policy writing; it spans the full chain from rules and governance through frontline enforcement and legal accountability.
The total funding available is capped at $789,344 (award ceiling), with the agency expecting to make a single award. The original application closing date listed is May 29, 2024, and the opportunity was created on March 29, 2024. Because only one award is anticipated, the selected applicant would likely serve as the primary implementer and coordinator responsible for delivering the project outcomes described.
Eligibility is broad and includes U.S. domestic non-federal entities such as state and local governments, Tribal governments, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations. It also allows foreign nonprofit organizations, foreign public entities (including foreign public international organizations), and domestic or foreign for-profit organizations, with the condition that for-profits must waive any fee or profit. This mix of eligible applicants suggests the program is open to universities, policy and security nonprofits, international organizations, and specialized implementers with compliance, export control, customs, legal, or investigative training expertise, provided they can operate under a cooperative agreement structure and support the U.S. government’s strategic trade control and nonproliferation priorities in the India partnership context.Apply for DFOP0010779
