R48939 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations: A Guide to Component Accounts 2026-05-07T04:00:00Z 2026-05-09T05:54:53Z Active Reports Carlos Acevedo, Emily M. McCabe, Cory R. Gill Foreign Affairs, Foreign Affairs Budget & Appropriations National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs (NSRP) appropriations legislation funds many U.S. nondefense international affairs activities. Between FY2008 and FY2025, the bill was titled Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS) appropriations. Within NSRP appropriations, the Department of State and Related Programs (Title I) portion makes up about one-third of the funding, and the various foreign assistance accounts compose the remainder. For FY2026, NSRP is one of 12 appropriations acts that fund the federal government. Congress appropriated NSRP funds for FY2026 in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (Division F of P.L. 119-75). Division F of the act is divided into seven titles. Each title funds a variety of government activities, ranging from government agencies’ operational and administrative costs to direct grant funds for private nonprofit or multilateral organizations. By title, NSRP provisions set out activities as follows: Title I—Department of State and Related Programs funds State Department diplomatic programs and general operations, including Foreign and Civil Service personnel salaries and training, public diplomacy and cultural exchange programs, information technology maintenance and modernization, dues to the United Nations (UN) and other international organizations, international broadcasting, and embassy construction and diplomatic security. It also provides funding to U.S. diplomacy-focused nongovernmental organizations and legislative commissions. Title II—Administration of Assistance funds general operations and oversight of foreign assistance but not foreign assistance programs. Title III—Bilateral Economic Assistance is the primary funding source for the U.S. government’s humanitarian and international development programs. It includes bilateral assistance for disaster relief, global health, and economic development activities, as well as funding for several independent development-oriented agencies, notably the Millennium Challenge Corporation and Peace Corps. Title IV—International Security Assistance is the primary title for U.S. security cooperation programs abroad outside of the Defense appropriations bill. It includes counternarcotics and rule-of-law strengthening programs; nonproliferation, anti-terrorism, and demining programs; some assistance to foreign militaries; and some funding for international peacekeeping efforts. Title V—Multilateral Assistance contributes funds to several multilateral finance and grant-making institutions. Title VI—Export and Investment Assistance funds the three U.S. government export promotion agencies: the Export-Import Bank, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), and the Trade and Development Agency. Title VII—General Provisions guides the allocation of funds appropriated in other titles and lays out restrictions and priorities for programming. https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R48939/R48939.3.pdf https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/HTML/R48939.html
