Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

DOS-INL intends to support projects addressing cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime, particularly cyber intrusions, online fraud, online-facilitated drug trafficking, digital piracy, and criminal misuse of cryptocurrency and virtual assets. The stated rationale is to counter cross-border threats harming American communities and businesses and affecting U.S. national and economic security.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The proposed work directly addresses one or more named areas: cyber intrusions, online fraud, online-facilitated drug trafficking, digital piracy, or criminal misuse of cryptocurrency and virtual assets. The proposal makes a specific connection between the targeted crime and harms to American communities or businesses, or to U.S. national or economic security. This is an inferred alignment signal based on the program’s stated problem framing. The applicant clearly fits a listed U.S. or foreign nonprofit/NGO, educational-institution, or for-profit category, subject to any clarification in the full eligibility information. The request falls within the published $200,000 to $2,196,890 award range. The listing also states that cost sharing is not required.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

The supplied evidence contains no formal review criteria, scoring rubric, or stated reviewer preferences. It is reasonable to infer that reviewers will examine alignment with the named cybercrime typologies and the notice’s stated U.S.-harm framing, but this should not be treated as a confirmed scoring standard.

Source-backed synopsis

What this grant funds

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 to carry out projects to combat cybercrime and cyber-enabled crimes harming American communities and businesses, specifically focusing on 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.
