Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009762
The Department of State, Bureau of Global Public Affairs announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Identify and Expose Kremlin Disinformation Networks" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009762) to support research focused on Kremlin-backed disinformation and propaganda. The core purpose of the program is to improve understanding of the narratives and influence operations linked to Russia, particularly the themes, messaging techniques, and distribution networks used to shape public opinion and distort information environments. The work supported under this award is meant to go beyond simply describing false narratives by also identifying effective ways to counter them, including practical tactics, tools, technologies, and strategic approaches that can be used by practitioners working in the field.
This opportunity is designed around a regional focus on Ukraine, Belarus, and the broader Eurasia space. In practice, that means proposed projects would be expected to generate insights that are relevant to information ecosystems and audiences in those areas, including how disinformation spreads across borders, how it adapts to local languages and contexts, and how coordinated networks amplify propaganda through media outlets, social platforms, and other channels. A central theme is exposure and mapping: understanding how campaigns are structured, who or what accounts and outlets help move narratives, and which methods are most effective at reaching or persuading target audiences.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on relationship with the U.S. government than a standard grant, often involving coordination, shared planning, or substantial programmatic involvement during implementation. The program lists an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000 and anticipates making one award, suggesting a single, relatively large project rather than multiple smaller awards. The opportunity falls under CFDA number 19.040 and is categorized under an "Other" funding activity classification as noted in the solicitation.
The eligibility category is listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which commonly indicates that a range of non-federal entities may apply depending on the specific criteria in the notice (for example, research organizations, nonprofits, academic institutions, or other qualified entities). The opportunity was created on June 16, 2023, with an original application deadline of July 31, 2023, meaning it was time-bound and applicants were expected to submit proposals within that window. Overall, the grant is geared toward producing actionable research that helps identify and expose disinformation networks while also strengthening real-world counter-disinformation capabilities across Ukraine, Belarus, and Eurasia.Apply for SFOP0009762
