Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0017454
The Ukraine Capacity in Intangible Technology Controls grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0017454) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program run by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation under CFDA 19.901. It will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expects to have an active role in shaping or coordinating aspects of the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal involvement. The opportunity was created on July 18, 2025, and the application deadline is August 18, 2025. The program anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $345,338.
The purpose of the project is to address an urgent, immediate need: strengthening safeguards and control measures over sensitive research and technologies in the context of Ukraine, with a specific emphasis on intangible technology transfers (ITT). ITT generally refers to the movement of controlled or sensitive technical knowledge in non-physical ways, such as sharing design files, source code, engineering guidance, technical data, know-how, training, remote collaboration, cloud storage access, emails, video calls, or providing troubleshooting support. The opportunity is focused on reinforcing effective protections around this kind of knowledge transfer and ensuring that communities most likely to encounter these risks understand how to manage them responsibly.
A central objective is rapid outreach and practical guidance for the research and development (R and D) ecosystem and the emerging defense industry community. The program aims to urgently inform these stakeholders about best practices for ITT safeguards, due diligence processes, and control requirements. In practice, that points to building awareness and operational capacity so organizations can identify sensitive technologies, assess partner and end-use risks, and implement internal controls that reduce the chances of inadvertent leakage, unauthorized access, or diversion of knowledge to prohibited or high-risk recipients. While the notice text is brief, the emphasis on safeguards, due diligence, and compliance suggests deliverables that could include training, tailored technical assistance, guidance materials, internal policy templates, and coordination mechanisms that help institutions apply controls consistently in day-to-day work.
Eligibility is open to both U.S. and foreign applicants. Eligible applicant types include not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society or non-governmental organizations) and public or private educational institutions. For-profit organizations may apply only where permitted by the relevant appropriation and are not eligible for PD funds; additionally, applications from for-profit entities may face extra review after panel selection. Even if a for-profit entity is selected, the Department of State does not allow profit under its assistance awards to commercial or for-profit organizations, which effectively means budgets must be constructed on an allowable-cost basis without adding a profit margin.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to quickly strengthen Ukraine-related capacity to prevent sensitive research and technology from being unintentionally transferred through intangible means, by elevating practical compliance behaviors and embedding stronger safeguards and due diligence practices across R and D and defense-adjacent communities.Apply for DFOP0017454
