Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009298
The grant opportunity titled "Countering Malign Exploitation Indonesia's Critical Dual-use" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009298) is a U.S. Department of State program run through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. It was issued as a discretionary Notice of Funding Opportunity and is designed to advance nonproliferation goals in Indonesia, particularly in areas where legitimate commercial activity, investment, and technology exchange can also be misused to support proliferation-sensitive or otherwise harmful outcomes. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects to be more actively involved during the life of the project than it would be under a standard grant, often through collaboration, guidance, or shared programmatic oversight.
At the center of the opportunity are three closely related objectives. First, it aims to improve understanding in Indonesia of why foreign direct investment screening matters and how it works in practice. The focus is not on blocking investment in general, but on recognizing and mitigating malign or exploitative investments that can quietly create pathways for sensitive technology access, supply chain capture, or strategic dependency that undermines nonproliferation objectives. Projects under this objective would likely emphasize the mechanics of screening systems, risk indicators, institutional roles, and practical decision-making methods that help governments distinguish between beneficial investment and investment intended to extract or divert strategic value.
Second, the program seeks to support the adoption, implementation, administration, and enforcement of intangible technology transfer (ITT) controls. ITT controls deal with technology transfers that occur without shipping a physical item, such as sharing technical data by email, cloud access, remote collaboration, training, software downloads, or providing technical services. Because intangible transfers can be harder to see and regulate than traditional exports, they can become an attractive channel for acquiring sensitive know-how. This funding priority suggests a push toward building rules, procedures, compliance practices, and enforcement capacity that can address modern technology transfer realities while still enabling legitimate research, education, and business activity.
Third, the opportunity intends to help build and socialize an evidence-based body of research on the economic effects of adopting strategic trade controls (STCs). Strategic trade controls generally refer to legal and administrative measures that regulate exports, re-exports, transshipment, brokering, and related activities involving sensitive dual-use items and technologies. One common barrier to adopting or strengthening STCs is concern that controls will harm investment, slow trade, or reduce competitiveness. By supporting empirical research on actual economic impacts, the program is signaling a desire to ground policy debates in data, quantify costs and benefits, and communicate findings to stakeholders in government and the private sector. The word "socialize" here indicates that the research is expected not only to be produced, but also actively shared and discussed with relevant audiences to build broader understanding and buy-in.
In terms of administrative details, the opportunity was created on January 3, 2023, with an original closing date of March 4, 2023. The award ceiling is listed as $1,481,481, and the agency anticipated making around three awards. The assistance listing (CFDA) number associated with the opportunity is 19.901, and eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with more specifics referenced in the original eligibility clarification text. Overall, the program is positioned as a capacity-building and policy-support effort that blends technical training and institutional development with applied research, all aimed at reducing the risk that Indonesia's critical dual-use sectors and technologies are exploited in ways that conflict with global nonproliferation objectives.Apply for SFOP0009298
