Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT), sought a single organization to carry out a project establishing an International Counterterrorism and Countering Violent Extremism Capacity Building Clearinghouse Mechanism (ICCM) under the auspices of the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF). In practical terms, the project was intended to create a dedicated clearinghouse that would help organize, coordinate, and strengthen international CT/CVE capacity-building efforts by serving as a central mechanism to track needs, identify available assistance, and reduce duplication across donors and implementing partners working in the counterterrorism and violent extremism prevention space.
The funding was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expected to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on implementation rather than issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity fell under CFDA 19.701 (Global Counterterrorism Programs) and was categorized as an "International Counterterrorism Initiative." The program anticipated making exactly one award, reflecting a preference for a single lead implementer responsible for building and operating the clearinghouse mechanism in coordination with the U.S. government and the GCTF framework.
The total estimated funding for the award was $2,000,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $2,000,000, indicating the award amount was essentially fixed for the selected applicant. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of eligibility or selection. The notice was posted on July 15, 2015, with an application deadline of August 26, 2015, and it was later archived on September 25, 2015, which signals the opportunity is no longer open but can be referenced for historical and programmatic context.
Eligibility was broad and included both domestic and international public or private academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and for-profit entities. This suggests the Department of State was open to a range of implementers with the technical, analytical, and coordination capacity to design and run an international clearinghouse, including organizations with experience in global security assistance coordination, program mapping, stakeholder engagement, and information management. The central deliverable implied by the notice was the establishment of the ICCM itself, positioned to support the GCTF's role in fostering international cooperation and improving how CT/CVE capacity-building assistance is planned, matched to needs, and delivered across countries and regions.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Maria Elliott at the Bureau of Counterterrorism, reachable by phone at 202-647-4077 (email was referenced but not fully provided in the text you shared).
