International Research in Homeland Security Science Technology Mission Areas | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "International Research in Homeland Security Science Technology Mission Areas" (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 09 ST 108 001) is a discretionary federal grant program administered through the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Procurement Operations, Grants Division. It is positioned as a research and development funding opportunity under CFDA 97.108, which covers homeland security research, testing, evaluation, and technology demonstration efforts. The focus implied by the title is on homeland security science and technology mission areas with an international research dimension, meaning applicants should expect the underlying announcement to emphasize research collaborations, comparative studies, or work that engages partners, data, or contexts outside the United States in support of DHS mission needs.

Funding is structured to support a small set of awards, with an anticipated six grants. Total estimated funding for the opportunity is $1,400,000. Individual award amounts are expected to fall between an award floor of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $750,000, which suggests DHS intended to fund a mix of mid-sized research projects and potentially one or two larger efforts if proposals justified the scale. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants generally would not be required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although the full announcement may still encourage leveraging other resources or partnerships to strengthen project impact.

Eligible applicants are limited to institutions of higher education, specifically public and state-controlled colleges and universities as well as private institutions of higher education. That eligibility scope indicates the program is oriented toward academic research capacity, faculty-led projects, graduate research involvement, and the kind of technical work universities often perform in areas like detection technologies, risk analysis, critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity, emergency response systems, or related evaluation and demonstration activities. Other organization types are not listed as eligible in the summary data, so entities like nonprofits or private companies would typically need to participate as collaborators or subcontractors under an eligible university applicant if allowed by the full terms.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on October 28, 2008, with an application closing date of September 29, 2009. An archive date of October 29, 2009 indicates the solicitation is historical and no longer active, but the details remain useful for understanding prior DHS research priorities and the scale and structure of similar programs. Applicants were instructed to access and follow the complete application instructions via Grants.gov by using the "Full Announcement" tab, which is where DHS would have provided the mission-area scope, required proposal components, evaluation criteria, submission format, and any compliance requirements tied to research involving international partners or sensitive homeland security topics.

For questions or for help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Melanie Bales, Grants Specialist, reachable at 202-447-5522. The solicitation text repeatedly directs prospective applicants to Grants.gov for the authoritative instructions, so any detailed requirements about project themes, deliverables, reporting, and how DHS defines "international research" for this program would be contained in that full announcement.
