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

Opportunity Summary:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate issued this grant opportunity to fund international research projects that directly support DHS homeland security mission needs. The core purpose is to expand and strengthen DHS S&T research by leveraging international partnerships and work conducted outside the United States, in ways that add depth and breadth to ongoing DHS research portfolios. In practical terms, DHS is looking for projects where international collaboration is not just a side feature but a meaningful driver of the research plan, helping DHS access expertise, environments, data, testbeds, or complementary capabilities that may be difficult to replicate domestically.

The program invites proposals that advance homeland security science and technology across a range of mission-relevant topics. The announcement highlights several example categories of interest: evaluating novel tools or new approaches for addressing homeland security challenges; conducting basic research that produces data, improved understanding, or models that can inform DHS S&T efforts and policy decisions; and performing S&T and operations research evaluations aimed at major improvements in DHS mission execution and in the operations of DHS component agencies. The framing suggests DHS is open to a variety of disciplines and methods, so long as the work is clearly tied to homeland security needs and produces outcomes that DHS can use for research direction-setting, technology development, testing and evaluation, or operational decision support.

Funding is offered under a discretionary program with assistance instruments listed as cooperative agreements and grants, categorized under science and technology and other research and development. DHS anticipated making about four awards under this solicitation. The estimated total funding available was $1,600,000, with an award ceiling of $750,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is restricted to accredited institutions of higher education, both domestic and foreign, provided they can demonstrate the ability and capacity to conduct and facilitate substantial international research. The eligible applicant categories explicitly include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with the key constraint being institutional accreditation and a credible capability to manage international research collaboration. This emphasis signals that DHS expects applicants to have established administrative, research management, and partnership structures suited to cross-border projects, such as handling international subawards, coordinating multinational research teams, and managing compliance and reporting across institutions.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DHS-11-ST-108-002 and CFDA 97.108 (Homeland Security, Research, Testing, Evaluation, and Demonstration of Technologies). The opportunity was posted June 1, 2011, created August 17, 2011, and originally closed September 22, 2011, with a current closing date listed as October 11, 2011.
