Documentation of Hateful Rhetoric Targeting Minority Populations in South Africa

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

Limiting Language
Applicants are only allowed to submit one proposal per organization. If more than one proposal is submitted from an organization, all proposals from that institution will be considered ineligible for funding.

Executive Summary
While South Africa is considered one of Africa’s most developed countries, it continues to experience significant levels of violence and crime, including crimes affecting Afrikaner and other minority communities across the country. These minority populations face ongoing threats to their safety and security within a broader context of elevated crime rates. Minority communities experience distinct vulnerabilities that warrant focused attention and documentation, including lack of policing resources, discriminatory government policies, and violent rhetoric. 

This proposed program will seek to document hateful rhetoric and violent acts against minority communities, assess access to justice and law enforcement protection, as well as research widespread violence affecting both minorities and the broader population in South Africa. The implementing partner will conduct conflict sensitive research and data collection to create a 3 comprehensive record of violence affecting Afrikaner and other South African minority populations in line with international standards and develop recommendations for how to improve the law enforcement situation to ensure equal protection.

US Travelers Health Research, Surveillance, Communication, and Outreach Network

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


Limiting Language
You must follow these limits on the number of applications your organization can submit.

You may submit only one application per institution. Each institution must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number.

Executive Summary
The NOFO supports CDC’s efforts to protect U.S. residents traveling internationally. The goal is to help U.S. travelers with pre-travel preparation, access to timely health information while traveling, and timely research on health conditions.

The project will:

  • Improve access to high quality travel preparation information for both healthcare providers and travelers.
  • Collect health information before, during, and after travel through innovative electronic medical record (EMR), web, and mobile phone applications.
  • Build on this platform to conduct timely research on emerging health threats, including:
    • Enrollment of prospective cohorts.
    • Developing and evaluating advanced diagnostics.
    • Cost-effectiveness and optimization evaluations.

This NOFO will support research and surveillance activities in a network of clinics that provide pre-travel health services to people with travel destinations outside of the United States, focusing on travelers at high risk for illness or injury while travelling.

During pre-travel visits, this system will anonymously collect specific data on travelers visiting international destinations. This NOFO will encourage high-risk travelers to seek pre-travel health consultations from a clinician to prepare them for a healthy return.

This will also contribute to the travel medicine scientific evidence base.

Examples of contributions may include:

  • Prospective traveler cohort studies.
  • Use of novel diagnostic techniques to estimate risks to travelers.

Many international travelers see a primary care clinician or another medical specialist for pre-travel consultations instead of a clinician who specializes intravel medicine.

This NOFO will also increase the awareness of travel medicine among primary care providers and provide them with appropriate tools in advising international travelers with up-to-date recommendations.

Project Constellation

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

Limiting Language 
Applicants are only allowed to submit one proposal per organization. If more than one proposal is submitted from an organization, only the first time-stamped application submission will be review for technical eligibility.

Executive Summary 
The U.S. Mission to the International Organizations in Vienna advances U.S. foreign policy through multilateral diplomacy with the major international organizations headquartered in Vienna, including the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA). As the U.S. Mission accredited to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) and other Vienna-based international organizations, UNVIE is uniquely positioned to promote implementation of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, the three other core space treaties, non- binding guidelines and best practices adopted by COPUOS, and other measures to strengthen international cooperation that advances the peaceful, responsible, and commercially beneficial uses of outer space. 

The global space economy is undergoing unprecedented growth as governments, private industry, universities, entrepreneurs, and investors expand commercial space capabilities and develop innovative technologies. Participation in this rapidly evolving sector offers countries new opportunities to promote economic growth, strengthen innovation ecosystems, develop highly skilled workforces, improve public services, and increase international competitiveness. 

While established spacefaring nations continue to lead many aspects of the sector, an increasing number of emerging space nations are developing national space policies, institutions, and commercial capabilities to support their participation in the global space economy. Many of these countries are seeking trusted international partners that can help strengthen institutional capacity, foster entrepreneurship, expand commercial opportunities, and develop the next generation of scientists, engineers, business leaders, and policymakers. Although numerous bilateral partnerships already exist among governments, universities, research institutions, and private companies, these relationships are often developed separately from international legal and policy debates on civil and commercial space at the UN, limiting the cross-pollination of technical standards, best practices, and policy approaches between global forums like COPUOS and regional or bilateral initiatives. 

The United States possesses one of the world's most dynamic and integrated space ecosystems, combining government leadership, world-class universities, research institutions, innovative startups, established commercial companies, investors, nonprofit organizations, and international partnerships. By connecting partner countries with this broad ecosystem, the United States can improve alignment between U.S. and foreign partners’ policy approaches to UN forums like COPUOS, while strengthening national space ecosystems and promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, commercial engagement, workforce development, and mutually beneficial economic partnerships. 

As the home of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), Vienna provides a uniquemultilateral platform for fostering these partnerships. Building upon the successful inaugural U.S. Space Forum in 2025, the U.S. Mission to the International Organizations in Vienna (UNVIE) is launching Project Constellation: Building a Constellation of Outer Space Partners at the United Nations as a long-term international partnership platform that strengthens collaboration among governments, industry, academia, entrepreneurs, and international organizations while supporting capacity building in emerging space economies that advances practical implementation of international obligations and non-binding guidelines and best practices adopted through COPUOS. 

Consistent with the objectives of Economic Support Funds (ESF), Project Constellation seeks to strengthen innovation ecosystems, promote entrepreneurship and commercial engagement, build institutional and workforce capacity, and expand economic opportunities through sustainable international partnerships. 

The U.S. Department of State, U.S Mission to International Organizations in Vienna (UNVIE) announces an open competition for organizations (see eligibility information in C.1) interested in submitting an application to implement a project aimed at.

Global Cybercrime and Cryptocurrency Assessment and Intelligence Gathering

Request Ticket (include goal area) // Limit: 2 // Tickets Available: 2

Limiting Language 
Applicants must address only one strategic goal per application but may address one or more objectives within that goal. Applicants may submit only one application per goal. Submitting multiple applications for the same goal will result in all applications for that goal being deemed ineligible for technical review. Organizations may form a consortium and submit a combined proposal; however, one organization should be designated as the lead applicant and other organization(s) listed as sub-recipient partner(s).

Goal Areas

  • Goal 1: Disrupt and deter cybercrime harming American communities and businesses by strengthening threat understanding and investigative and cross-border coordination capabilities
  • Goal 2: To disrupt and deter cryptocurrency-enabled criminal networks by strengthening the enforcement, investigative, and prosecutorial capacity of criminal justice institutions to combat the criminal misuse of virtual assets.


Overview
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications addressing cybercrime and cyber-enabled crimes. Projects should focus on combating cyber intrusions, online fraud, online-facilitated drug trafficking, digital piracy, and the criminal misuse of cryptocurrency and virtual assets. These crimes represent a rapidly evolving, cross-border threat that directly undermines U.S. national and economic security and harms an estimated one in four American households according to a 2018 Gallup survey. Criminals increasingly exploit the pseudonymous and borderless nature of virtual assets to launder proceeds, evade law enforcement, and victimize Americans at scale across all of these typologies. These trends have produced large- scale financial losses and growing harm to Americans, prompting President Trump's March 2026 Executive Order to strengthen efforts against cybercrime targeting U.S. families, businesses, and critical infrastructure.
