Opportunity Summary:
The Center of Excellence for Criminal Investigations and Network Analysis (CINA) funding opportunity is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S and T) solicitation run through the Office of University Programs (OUP). The purpose is to select one U.S. college or university to serve as the lead institution for a multi-university consortium that will operate as a DHS Center of Excellence focused on criminal investigations and network analysis. In practical terms, the lead awardee would be responsible not only for conducting research, but also for organizing and managing a collaborative network of academic partners to deliver research and development outputs aligned with DHS priorities in this area.
This is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial federal involvement during the project period (for example, coordination with DHS program staff, iterative research guidance, and structured reporting and collaboration requirements). The funding activity category is science and technology and other research and development, and it is listed under CFDA number 97.061. Eligible applicants are U.S. institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 16 ST 061 CINA LEAD and was posted May 27, 2016, with an application closing date of September 1, 2016. DHS anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $4,000,000. An informational webinar was scheduled for June 21, 2016 at 3:00 pm EDT to brief potential applicants on the goals of the Center and the application process.
DHS also noted that it was publishing a separate companion notice of funding opportunity for organizations that want to participate as partners rather than lead the Center. That partner opportunity is referenced as NOFO Number DHS-16-ST-061-CINA-Partner (also associated with CFDA 97.061) and was to be accessed via Grants.gov. In other words, this particular solicitation is for the lead institution to build and run the Center consortium, while a separate solicitation route existed for single-project proposals intended to be incorporated as part of the broader Center of Excellence effort.
