Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009054
The U.S.-ASEAN Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation (STIC) Program is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity aimed at strengthening practical cooperation on science, technology, and innovation across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. It is administered by the Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, specifically the Office of Multilateral Affairs (EAP/MLA). The grant is structured to support activities that build and deepen regional collaboration, encourage joint problem-solving, and advance shared priorities through science and technology engagement between the United States and ASEAN stakeholders.
This opportunity was released as a Notice of Funding Opportunity under Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009054, and it falls under the discretionary funding category. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the award compared to a standard grant. In practice, that can include closer coordination on program direction, oversight of key deliverables, and ongoing collaboration between the award recipient and the U.S. government to ensure the program is aligned with policy and regional objectives.
The program is funded through FY 2021 Economic Support Funds (ESF), with an award ceiling of up to USD 3,456,250, subject to the availability of funds. Only one award was expected to be made, indicating the Department of State likely intended to select a single lead implementer capable of running a region-wide initiative with multiple components and partners. The period of performance is 36 months, giving the selected organization three years to design, launch, and deliver a portfolio of activities that foster science, technology, and innovation cooperation in ASEAN.
From a classification standpoint, the funding activity category is listed as "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," and the CFDA number associated with the program is 19.124. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with the specifics referenced in an additional eligibility section not included in the excerpt. In many Department of State opportunities, this kind of eligibility label can cover a wide range of applicants such as nonprofits, NGOs, educational institutions, and other qualified organizations, but the exact requirements and exclusions would be defined in the full NOFO.
Key dates included a creation date of June 10, 2022, with an original closing date of July 11, 2022. That timeline suggests a fairly standard federal application window of about a month, which often requires applicants to already have a clear program concept, an implementation network, and strong administrative readiness to submit a competitive proposal on time.
Finally, the legal authority for the award is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. That matters because it frames the program as a foreign assistance and diplomacy-linked effort, not simply a research grant. In other words, while the program centers on science and innovation cooperation, it is also designed to advance broader regional engagement objectives by supporting collaborative frameworks, partnerships, and capacity-building efforts that strengthen U.S.-ASEAN ties through science, technology, and innovation.Apply for SFOP0009054
