Executive Summary 
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES), Office of Ocean and Polar Affairs (OPA) announces an open competition for a U.S. institution, company, or organization (see eligibility information in B.1) interested in submitting an application to conduct ocean mapping, seabed exploration, habitat and resource characterization, and data management and analysis in Pacific Island Countries (PICs).  The funded activities will be done in cooperation and coordination with relevant PIC governments and stakeholders.  This funding opportunity is one component of a broader U.S. Government (USG) initiative, in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of the Interior (DOI), aimed at advancing seabed mapping and exploration in the Pacific.  Together, these efforts will provide environmental baseline data, locate and characterize habitats and resources in PIC’s seabed within national jurisdiction, analyze impacts for ocean resource management, and build foreign national regulatory frameworks with high environmental and transparency standards favorable to competitive private sector investment.   

This opportunity advances President Trump’s Executive Orders on critical minerals, including EO 14285 on Unleashing America’s Offshore Critical Minerals and Resources, which directs U.S. government agencies to move expeditiously to support investment in deep sea science, mapping, and technology, strengthen partnerships with allies and industry, and ensure U.S. companies are well-positioned to support allies and partners interested in developing seabed minerals responsibly in areas within their national jurisdictions.

Advancing Outbreak Detection, Notification, and Response Capacity by Implementing 7-1-7 in Partner Countries

Request Ticket // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1 

Limiting Language 
Under this NOFO, you may submit only one application under your organization’s UEI.

Summary 
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports strengthening country systems to detect, notify, and respond to outbreaks by applying time-bound, evidence-based frameworks, such as the 7-1-7 target, which aims to detect outbreaks within 7 days, notify within 1 day, and respond within 7 days. This target was selected to promote rapid containment and minimize health and economic impacts. 

Activities under this award will be conducted outside the United States and its territories. Building on previous outbreak experience and other international health emergencies, this NOFO advances American interests by reinforcing systems that protect both the United States and recipient nations. 

Activities focus on improving early detection of biological threats, timely notification across sectors and borders, and effective response to contain outbreaks before they spread, consistent with the Detect, Notify, Respond (D- N-R) framework. Efforts include strengthening surveillance, expanding laboratory readiness, enhancing information flows, and improving response operations to reduce economic effects and improve health. These activities emphasize burden sharing, accountability, and efficiency to ensure benefits to Americans at home and abroad, while helping recipient nations achieve long-term self-reliance and stability.
