Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006027
The U.S. Department of State, through its Bureau of Energy Resources (ENR), released a discretionary funding opportunity under the Asia EDGE (Enhancing Development and Growth through Energy) initiative focused on U.S.-Indo-Pacific engagements for energy sector development. The program’s core purpose is to support Asia EDGE by funding a project that brings together key stakeholders, government authorities, and technical experts from across the energy value chain. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at organizing and convening the right mix of public- and private-sector participants to encourage coordination, share expertise, and advance energy-sector development priorities aligned with U.S. engagement in the Indo-Pacific.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation (for example, collaboration on planning, coordination, and oversight), rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The activity category is energy, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.027, reflecting its placement within State Department assistance programming. While the eligible applicant category is listed as “Others,” applicants are directed to consult the additional eligibility language in the full announcement for precise clarification on which types of organizations may apply.
Financially, the opportunity set an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award and anticipated making up to two awards. The notice was created on July 2, 2019, with an original application deadline of August 16, 2019. The opportunity is identified by the funding opportunity number SFOP0006027. Overall, this solicitation can be understood as a mechanism to fund convenings, dialogues, and coordinated engagements that strengthen energy-sector collaboration and development outcomes across the Indo-Pacific in support of the Asia EDGE initiative.Apply for SFOP0006027
