Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0016775
The Expanding PEP Databasing (E-PEP) Project is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). The project is aimed at strengthening the capacity of both government and non-government stakeholders to better identify, investigate, and compare assets connected to politically exposed persons (PEPs). In practical terms, the focus is on improving how actors can track and analyze both declared assets (those formally disclosed through required filings or registries) and undeclared assets (those hidden, obscured through intermediaries, or otherwise not reported) held by PEPs as well as their relatives and close associates or affiliates. The underlying goal is to make it easier to detect discrepancies, uncover hidden wealth, and support anti-corruption and financial integrity efforts by improving access to and usability of PEP-related asset information.
This opportunity is being offered under Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0016775 and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government is likely to expect substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," and the program is associated with CFDA number 19.703, which aligns with INL-managed international narcotics control and law enforcement assistance programming. The application window reflects an original closing date of August 23, 2024, and the opportunity was created on July 8, 2024.
Funding is available up to an award ceiling of $2,000,000. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which can sometimes indicate that the number of awards is not predetermined, is subject to availability of funds, or has not been specified in the source record. Applicants generally should not interpret that field alone as meaning no awards will be made, but rather that award count details are not clearly stated in the provided summary.
Eligibility is broad across nonprofit and education sectors, including both U.S.-based and foreign-based organizations. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based non-profit/non-governmental organizations, U.S.-based educational institutions that qualify under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax code or under 26 U.S.C. 115, foreign-based non-profit/non-governmental organizations, and foreign-based educational institutions. The emphasis on both governmental and non-governmental end users suggests the project is intended to produce tools, datasets, methods, or collaborative mechanisms that can be used across investigative bodies, civil society, and possibly journalism or research communities, as long as the work aligns with lawful anti-corruption and asset transparency objectives.
At its core, the E-PEP project is about expanding and improving databasing around politically exposed persons and their networks so that investigators and watchdogs can more effectively connect the dots across asset declarations, registries, and other sources. By enabling comparisons between what is disclosed and what can be identified through other data sources, the project is designed to help surface inconsistencies that may indicate illicit enrichment, conflicts of interest, corruption proceeds, or the use of proxies and shell arrangements to conceal ownership.Apply for DFOP0016775
