Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT), released a discretionary Notice of Funding Opportunity titled "Countering Violent Extremism" (Funding Opportunity Number: CTP_CTAQM_15_031_056312). The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Department of State expects to remain actively involved with the recipient during project implementation rather than providing a hands-off grant. The program is categorized under "Other" for funding activity, with CFDA number 19.701, and it was posted and created on May 17, 2016, with an application closing date of July 1, 2016.
The opportunity supports countering violent extremism (CVE) programming as a core pillar of a broader counterterrorism approach. In this context, CVE is defined as practical actions that reduce the ability of violent extremists to radicalize, recruit, and mobilize people to commit violence. It also includes efforts that address conditions that enable or amplify extremist recruitment and the radicalization of individuals or communities. The emphasis is on upstream prevention and intervention, meaning proposals should be designed to stop radicalization before it leads to violence or to interrupt recruitment pathways that are already underway.
A key requirement in the description is that funded programming must be intentionally focused on violent extremism. In other words, proposed activities should not be framed as general community development or generic peacebuilding unless they clearly and directly connect to preventing or intervening in violent extremist radicalization and recruitment. The opportunity signals a preference for programming that can demonstrate a direct relationship to reducing recruitment, decreasing susceptibility to extremist narratives, strengthening resistance to mobilization to violence, or otherwise limiting violent extremist influence and reach.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that category), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. This mix suggests the Department is open to a range of implementers, including universities, NGOs, research or program delivery entities, and private-sector organizations that can credibly design and execute CVE interventions.
In terms of scale, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $1,000,000, and the Department anticipated making up to six awards. Taken together, this implies a competitive process aimed at supporting multiple projects rather than a single large initiative, potentially across different locations or thematic approaches, as long as they align with the stated purpose of preventing and/or intervening in radicalization and recruitment to violence. The administering agency is listed as DOS-SBUR-SCT, reflecting State Department oversight through the Bureau of Counterterrorism.
