Opportunity Summary:
The "Program to Fight Cyber Crime in Ukraine" was a U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen Ukraine's ability to detect, investigate, and prosecute cyber crime by building long-term institutional capacity inside the Ministry of Interior (MOI). It builds directly on earlier INL support that provided computer equipment, created initial training materials, and delivered foundational instruction to detectives and investigators. This follow-on effort focused on continuing and expanding that training while making sure the curriculum becomes a permanent part of MOI-administered universities, so the knowledge is not limited to short-term workshops but embedded in the education pipeline for future officers.
The core purpose of the program was twofold. First, it aimed to improve the operational effectiveness of existing MOI cyber crime investigative units by giving investigators practical skills to identify cyber incidents, collect and analyze digital evidence, and conduct cyber-related investigations successfully. Second, it sought to raise the instructional capacity of MOI-administered universities so they could consistently teach these competencies to new cohorts of anti-cyber crime officers. In other words, the program targeted both the current workforce (through in-service training) and the next generation of law enforcement personnel (through institutionalized academic coursework), creating a sustainable training ecosystem.
From a funding and administration perspective, the opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expected to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal engagement. INL anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The award ceiling was $150,000 and the award floor was $75,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program fell under the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and was associated with CFDA 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems), reflecting its emphasis on law enforcement capacity building rather than purely technical research or infrastructure.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited solicitation posted on June 27, 2012, with an application deadline of July 25, 2012, and an archive date of August 24, 2012. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with further details in the full Request for Applications (RFA), signaling that applicants likely needed to consult the official announcement to confirm whether they qualified (for example, certain types of non-profits, educational institutions, or other organizations with relevant expertise). For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Lourdes Stein, Program Analyst, at (202) 776-8774.
Overall, the opportunity was essentially a capacity-building and curriculum-integration project: expand and refine cyber crime training materials, deliver practical instruction to investigators and detectives, and ensure MOI universities can teach and sustain that training permanently so Ukraine's anti-cyber crime capability improves both immediately and over time.
