Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005181
The "Countering North Korea (DPRK) Missile and Nuclear Program" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005181) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State funding notice run through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN), specifically its Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) programming. The work is funded under the Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account (CFDA 19.033), which generally supports foreign assistance efforts aimed at reducing the spread of weapons of mass destruction and related capabilities. In practical terms, the notice frames DPRK missile and nuclear proliferation as a major international security concern and signals that the U.S. government intends to apply a wide range of tools, including assistance programming, to increase pressure on North Korea to curb proliferation of WMD and associated delivery systems and ultimately move toward denuclearization.
The core program purpose is risk reduction: mitigating proliferation threats posed by both state and non-state actors, with geographic emphasis that includes North-East Asia (where the DPRK challenge sits), as well as South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Even though the title centers on North Korea, the description ties it to the broader ISN/CTR mission set, which often involves building partner capacity, improving controls and safeguards, strengthening nonproliferation systems, and supporting measures that make proliferation more difficult and more costly. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State would typically expect substantial involvement during implementation (for example, coordination on work plans, alignment with policy priorities, and ongoing monitoring), rather than a hands-off grant model.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting lists an award ceiling of 0 and expected awards of 0, which usually indicates the announcement is not presenting a standard set-aside amount or is serving as a solicitation framework rather than advertising a specific, competitively funded pot of money at the time of posting. Key administrative details show it was created on June 12, 2018, with an original closing date of June 13, 2018, a very short window that commonly suggests a tightly timed request, a continuation-related action, or a notice intended for a narrow applicant pool already positioned to respond quickly.
Overall, the opportunity communicates the Department of State s intent to support targeted nonproliferation and counterproliferation assistance aligned with U.S. strategy toward the DPRK: constraining North Korea s ability to advance or export nuclear and missile-related capabilities, limiting access to materials, technology, finance, and networks that enable WMD programs, and reinforcing international pressure aimed at changing DPRK behavior and advancing denuclearization objectives.Apply for SFOP0005181
