Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009804
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation and its Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (ISN/NDF), is offering funding for a project focused on reducing the risk of zoonotic disease spillover linked to high-risk live animal markets and the supply chains that feed into them in Southeast Asia. The opportunity is structured as a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under a discretionary assistance program, with awards issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government anticipates having an active role in shaping or overseeing elements of project implementation rather than simply providing funds with minimal involvement. The overall intent is to support practical, on-the-ground work that helps prevent and mitigate the emergence and spread of high-consequence pathogens that can jump from animals to humans, particularly in market settings and associated transport, holding, and distribution networks where multiple species and people interact closely.
Applicants are being asked to propose projects that directly advance NDF's mission in this area, with a clear preference for proposals that fully address the stated objectives of the line of effort described in the NOFO (referenced as Section II in the announcement). If a single organization cannot cover the full scope, ISN/NDF indicates it is open to a coordinated approach involving up to one co-implementing partner organization, as long as that partner is separately responding to the solicitation. In practical terms, this suggests the funder wants either a comprehensive, end-to-end project plan from one lead implementer or a tightly coordinated two-organization approach that avoids fragmented, loosely connected efforts.
The funding parameters are straightforward. The maximum award amount (the ceiling) is $1,750,000, and the agency expects to make one award. Proposals cannot request more than the total amount available under the NOFO, and the single-award expectation implies this is a competitive process where the strongest proposal will likely receive the full or near-full funding amount, rather than multiple smaller awards being distributed to several groups. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009804 and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.224.
In terms of who can apply, the listing highlights eligibility for nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). However, the narrative description also states that non-profit/non-governmental organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, and for-profit organizations are invited to submit proposals. Because these two statements are not perfectly aligned in the summary data provided, any interested applicant would need to confirm eligibility requirements in the full NOFO documents to ensure they meet the program's specific definitions and conditions. Applications are submitted through the Department of State's SAMS Domestic platform, which is the required portal for this opportunity.
Key dates included in the source data show the opportunity was created on May 18, 2023, with an original closing date of July 3, 2023. These dates matter for understanding the specific competition referenced here, and they also suggest that anyone looking to pursue this exact solicitation would need to verify whether it is still open, has been extended, or has been replaced by a newer round.
Overall, this grant competition is centered on public health security and biosecurity risk reduction in a region and context recognized as high risk for zoonotic emergence. Successful projects under this NOFO would be expected to produce measurable improvements in prevention and mitigation practices tied to live animal markets and supply chains, likely through a mix of risk assessment, targeted interventions, capacity building, and coordinated implementation with relevant stakeholders, all aligned with NDF's objectives and carried out under the cooperative agreement model.Apply for SFOP0009804
