Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0016555
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation's Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (ISN/NDF), is offering a competitive grant opportunity to support projects focused on identifying and countering illicit proliferation and sanctions-evasion activity tied to the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Russia. The central aim is to fund work that maps the people, companies, and enabling networks involved in moving sensitive goods, technology, or support in ways that help Russia sustain its war against Ukraine or help the PRC advance its Military-Civilian Fusion (MCF) industrial base. The geographic focus is South and East Africa, specifically networks that are based in these regions or operate from them, including the business, financial, and logistics channels that allow illicit activity to function.
Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to produce actionable analysis that partner governments can use to strengthen counter-proliferation and counter-sanctions-evasion efforts. In practical terms, that means tracing how illicit actors operate across borders and sectors, identifying facilitators and intermediaries, and clarifying the commercial and transportation pathways that make procurement and shipment possible. The Department of State is looking for work that goes beyond listing bad actors and instead shows how the networks are structured, how money and goods move, what front companies or brokers are involved, and where disruption or enforcement actions could be most effective. The resulting analysis is intended to support bilateral or regional engagement with partner countries, helping them recognize these networks and take steps to disrupt them.
Funding is being offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means there will be substantial involvement by the U.S. government in shaping or supporting implementation compared with a standard grant. The total maximum amount per award can be up to $950,000, and the program anticipates making about two awards. Proposals are expected to stay within the total funds available under the notice, and the funder expresses a preference for proposals that address multiple objectives within at least one of the program's lines of effort described in the full announcement.
Eligibility, as provided in the source data, is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity is listed as discretionary, with an activity category labeled "Other," and it is associated with CFDA number 19.224. The funding opportunity number is DFOP0016555, and it is issued by the Bureau of International Security-Nonproliferation. The notice was created on May 17, 2024, and the original application deadline is July 15, 2024.
In short, this opportunity funds research and partner-oriented analytic work that can help governments in East and South Africa better detect, understand, and interrupt PRC- and Russia-linked procurement, proliferation, and sanctions-evasion networks, with a strong emphasis on mapping the full ecosystem of actors and enablers that make those networks operational.Apply for DFOP0016555
