Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0009890
The grant opportunity titled "Evaluation of Cooperative Threat Reduction Programming for Sanctions" (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0009890) is a discretionary funding announcement released by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, specifically through its Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR). The work centers on evaluating CTR foreign assistance programming that is tied to sanctions-related objectives and outcomes. In practical terms, the Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction funds activities designed to reduce and manage risks connected to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and WMD-related delivery systems, with particular attention to threats posed by non-state actors and states involved in proliferation. This opportunity is about assessing how well that programming is performing, what impacts it is having, and how it can be improved to better support U.S. nonproliferation and security goals in sanctions contexts.
CTR programming, as described in the announcement, is supported through the Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account and potentially other funding accounts. The underlying policy focus is the mitigation of proliferation and security threats involving WMD materials, expertise, technologies, and delivery systems. The evaluation component implied by the title suggests the award will support an independent or structured review of CTR efforts that relate to sanctions: for example, how programming complements sanctions policy, how it mitigates circumvention risks, whether it strengthens partner capacities to comply with or enforce controls, and whether it reduces pathways for WMD-relevant procurement, transfer, or misuse. While the notice does not list specific evaluation questions or methods in the excerpt provided, the intent is clearly oriented toward generating evidence and analysis that can inform program management, effectiveness, and strategic decision-making.
The award is capped at an award ceiling of $250,000, with the agency expecting to make one award. The instrument type is listed as "Other" rather than a standard grant or cooperative agreement category in the summary data, which can indicate a non-traditional assistance instrument or a specific structure chosen by the agency for this evaluation. The activity category is also listed as "Other," reinforcing that this is a specialized evaluation action rather than a typical programmatic implementation award.
Eligibility is broad and includes both U.S.-based and non-U.S. applicants. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations, public and private educational institutions, for-profit organizations, and public international organizations. This wide eligibility pool is consistent with evaluation work, where governments often want to attract applicants with specialized monitoring and evaluation expertise, policy analysis capacity, sanctions knowledge, nonproliferation subject matter expertise, and the ability to work across international contexts.
Key administrative details include a CFDA (Assistance Listing) number of 19.033, an original closing date of April 30, 2024, and a creation date of March 29, 2024. The sponsoring agency is the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at producing an evaluation of CTR sanctions-related programming that can help the Department of State understand results, identify gaps, capture lessons learned, and refine approaches to countering WMD proliferation threats in environments shaped by sanctions and proliferator behavior.Apply for DFOP0009890
