Opportunity Summary:
The Countering Violent Extremism Notice of Funding Opportunity is a discretionary grant competition announced by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Counterterrorism (DOS-SCT). It was designed to fund programs that directly support countering violent extremism (CVE) as a central part of a broader counterterrorism strategy. The opportunity emphasizes practical, on-the-ground initiatives that reduce the ability of violent extremist actors to radicalize individuals, recruit new adherents, and mobilize people to commit violence, while also addressing local conditions that make communities more vulnerable to extremist messaging and recruitment.
A key point in the announcement is that proposed projects must be intentionally and explicitly focused on violent extremism. In other words, applicants are expected to frame their work as direct prevention of, or intervention in, pathways toward radicalization and recruitment to violence, rather than as general community development, generic conflict prevention, or broad youth engagement that is not clearly tied to violent extremism outcomes. The program description highlights two main goals: first, disrupting or reducing extremist radicalization and recruitment processes; and second, changing enabling environments and conditions that allow violent extremist narratives and networks to spread within individuals or communities.
Funding under this notice was offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State anticipated substantial involvement in the program during implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity carried a listed award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award, with an expectation of making approximately 6 awards. The assistance listing (CFDA) number associated with the program is 19.701, which corresponds to State Department counterterrorism-related assistance programming.
Eligibility was broad and included multiple types of organizations: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. This structure suggests the Department sought to attract a wide mix of implementers, including universities, research or training entities, NGOs, and private-sector implementers capable of delivering specialized program activities relevant to CVE.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on May 17, 2016, with both the original and current closing date listed as July 1, 2016. The funding opportunity number is CTP CTAQM 15 031, and the activity category is listed as "Other," indicating it did not fit neatly into a single standard functional bucket and likely encompassed varied programming approaches so long as they met the CVE intent. Overall, the notice aimed to support targeted, prevention-oriented counterterrorism programming that measurably reduces recruitment and radicalization to violence and strengthens resilience against violent extremist influence.
