Executing role: Six statutory Regional Centers; Irregular Warfare Center and Defense Security Cooperation University contracting/grants offices

Authority holder

Secretary of Defense; Regional Center directors for authorized service agreements; ASD(SO/LIC) is IWC executive agent after FY26 amendment.

Eligibility gate

  • Use statutory center and authorized subject matter; regional-center reimbursements normally required unless eligible waiver.
  • FY26 removed developing-country limitation for §342(f)(3)(A) military/defense/security participant waivers; national-security-interest finding remains.
  • For IWC university partnerships use §2679 support agreement or contract/cooperative agreement/grant through DSCU.

Funding condition

  • Center appropriations, eligible reimbursements, and authorized gifts under §2611 subject to their terms.
  • IWC faculty and operating costs require appropriations; statute permits higher-education partnering rather than unrestricted business grants.

All recorded limits

  • Cannot designate an unlisted institution as a §342 Regional Center.
  • RDFP statutory annual cap $35 million; center-specific costs are not automatically included in that fellowship cap.
  • Reimbursable Regional Center services to other Federal agencies require SecDef concurrence and full-cost payment.
