Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled INL-16GR0030-INLC-04-25-2016 (Funding Opportunity Number: INLEA INLTC 16 001) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL), under CFDA 19.705. It was posted and created on April 25, 2016, with an application deadline of June 24, 2016. The program anticipates making a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $400,000.
The central purpose of the project is to reduce attacks on journalists by building the practical capacity of foreign investigative journalists who cover organized crime and corruption. The opportunity is framed around the idea that journalists working on these topics often face elevated risks, including intimidation, harassment, digital surveillance, legal pressure, and physical violence. By improving journalists ability to operate safely and securely, the program aims to lower their exposure to harm while helping them continue reporting on sensitive criminal and corruption networks.
The project emphasis is strongly skills- and tools-based, focusing on safety techniques, tools, and technologies. In particular, the grant highlights three major areas: cybersecurity, physical safety, and legal issues. Cybersecurity support is meant to help journalists protect communications, sources, and sensitive materials from hacking, malware, account takeovers, device compromise, and other forms of digital intrusion or surveillance. Physical safety elements point to training and practices that reduce vulnerability in the field, such as risk awareness, planning, situational security, and protocols for working in high-threat environments. Legal issues suggest a focus on the legal risks that investigative journalists may encounter, such as defamation and libel exposure, legal harassment, detention risks, interactions with law enforcement, and understanding relevant laws and rights that can affect reporting on organized crime and corruption.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional details referenced in the original announcement, indicating that non-standard applicant categories may be allowed depending on the stated eligibility criteria in the full notice. Overall, the opportunity is designed as a targeted capacity-building initiative: one sizeable award intended to deliver practical, security-focused support that enables investigative journalists abroad to pursue high-risk reporting with stronger protections and safer operating habits.
