Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008564
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Global Public Affairs, announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Supporting Partner Nations to Counter Foreign Disinformation and Propaganda" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008564). The program is designed to help officials in foreign partner countries strengthen their ability to identify, understand, and respond to state-backed disinformation and propaganda attributed to the People's Republic of China (PRC). The central idea is capacity building inside government institutions, so that government personnel at multiple levels can better recognize influence narratives, analyze information operations, and develop practical ways to counter them.
This award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on implementation, providing input on activities, or coordinating on messaging and deliverables. The opportunity planned to make a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $1,250,000 in FY 2021 Economic Support Fund (ESF) resources. The initial project period is set for 24 months, indicating a two-year implementation timeline for training, planning, tool development, coordination mechanisms, or other capacity-focused work.
The funding opportunity falls under CFDA number 19.040 and is categorized under an "Other" funding activity classification (with further clarification referenced in the original notice). Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details indicated as being provided in a separate section of the full announcement, suggesting that applicants likely needed to consult the complete posting to confirm whether they qualified (for example, certain nonprofit organizations, NGOs, or other entities commonly eligible for State Department assistance awards, depending on the specific terms in the notice).
Key administrative details include a creation date of February 7, 2022, and an original application closing date of April 7, 2022. In practical terms, the opportunity offered one relatively sizable, two-year cooperative agreement focused on helping partner governments build internal systems and skills to counter PRC-linked disinformation and propaganda, with the expectation that the selected recipient would work closely with the Department of State throughout the project.Apply for SFOP0008564
