Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009899
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy (CDP), is soliciting proposals for a capacity-building program focused on strengthening responsible state behavior in cyberspace and improving international stability online. The opportunity centers on developing practical curriculum and delivering specialized training for key stakeholders, with an emphasis on government officials from partner countries, as well as relevant actors from regional and multilateral institutions involved in cybersecurity and digital policy. The overall intent is to help participants better understand and apply widely recognized international frameworks that guide how states should behave in cyberspace, especially the United Nations framework on responsible state behavior and the ways international law applies to state conduct in the digital domain.
The grant is structured around two complementary but distinct project objectives. One objective focuses on the UN framework of responsible state behavior in cyberspace, which generally refers to norms, principles, confidence-building measures, and related guidance endorsed through UN processes to reduce the risk of conflict and miscalculation in cyberspace. The second objective focuses on how international law applies to state actions in cyberspace, meaning participants would examine how existing legal principles (such as sovereignty-related concepts, state responsibility, due diligence discussions, and other bodies of international law commonly referenced in cyber policy debates) may be interpreted and operationalized in cyber-related scenarios. Applicants may propose to address one or both objectives depending on how many awards are made.
CDP anticipates making one to two cooperative agreements, with total funding up to $1,500,000, pending fund availability. If CDP makes a single award, the selected organization must cover both project objectives. If two awards are made, each awardee would cover either Project Objective 1 or Project Objective 2. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial engagement and coordination with the Department of State during planning and implementation, including alignment on participating countries and program design details.
Programming is expected to be delivered primarily through specialized, technical, in-person capacity-building activities, while still allowing a mix of in-person and virtual participation to broaden access. The project is global in scope and is expected to convene eight events per objective across the project period, meaning the full effort could involve up to sixteen events if both objectives are implemented. CDP will coordinate with the selected recipient(s) to identify which partner countries and participants will be included. Trainings may take place in the United States and/or in other countries, depending on program needs, partner availability, and logistical considerations.
