Opportunity Information: Apply for ITA INA OIE 2023 2007968
The Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) 2023 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Commerce through the International Trade Administration (ITA). It is designed to support projects that help U.S. businesses expand into international markets by promoting exports, strengthening industry competitiveness, and advancing fair trade. Through this program, ITA partners with eligible organizations to carry out market development initiatives that can generate economic opportunity for U.S. workers and firms by increasing overseas sales, building demand for U.S. products and services, and improving the global position of U.S. industries.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, meaning ITA generally expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project after award. In practice, that often implies ongoing coordination with the agency, shared planning or performance monitoring, and alignment with ITA trade priorities while the recipient implements activities such as export promotion, outreach to foreign buyers, market entry support, trade mission-related work, or sector-focused campaigns. The funding activity category is listed broadly under environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development, reflecting that eligible projects may span many industries and technical areas as long as they contribute to export or market development outcomes.
The funding opportunity title is "Market Development Cooperator Program 2023" and the official opportunity number is ITA INA OIE 2023 2007968. The program is associated with CFDA number 11.112. The Notice was created on April 20, 2023, with an original application deadline of June 20, 2023. The maximum federal funding per award (the award ceiling) is $300,000, and ITA anticipated making around 10 awards under this competition, indicating a competitive selection process with a limited number of funded proposals.
Eligibility is described as "Others," with applicants directed to consult the opportunity's additional eligibility information for specifics. This typically signals that eligibility may include certain types of nonprofit organizations, trade associations, industry groups, chambers of commerce, or other entities that can credibly deliver export market development services to U.S. companies, but applicants would need to confirm the precise requirements and any restrictions in the full notice. Overall, MDCP 2023 is aimed at organizations that can demonstrate a strong plan to expand export opportunities for U.S. firms, produce measurable market development results, and work collaboratively with ITA to execute an internationally focused program within the funding limits and timeline established by the competition.Apply for ITA INA OIE 2023 2007968
