Strengthening International Engagement on Security in Cyberspace

The U.S. Department of State's Office of the Coordinator for Cyber Issues (S/CCI) announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications for a program to support upcoming United Nations-related cyber events of strategic importance, in particular meetings related to the UN Group of Governmental Experts and the UN Open Ended Working Group. The purpose of this award is to support travel, lodging and other logistics for civilian government officials to participate in these key cyber-related discussions, as well as other UN events that may discuss non-security cyber issues of concern (e.g. Internet governance, cybercrime, and Internet freedom). The recipient will also develop an online training course, which aims to provide foundational understandings on core U.S. cyber policy concepts for foreign civilian government officials, particularly regarding international security and stability in cyberspace. Pending the availability of funds, S/CCI anticipates awarding one cooperative agreement of up to $500,000.00. **The deadline for receipt of questions concerning this NOFO has been extended from June 21, 2019 to July 5, 2019 at 5:00PM EST.
