The Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation awarded a $175,423 cooperative agreement to CRDF Global to enhance physical security measures at a high containment laboratory in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo from June 2022 through December 2023. The funding supports the Global Threat Reduction program, which aims to reduce biological threats through securing vulnerable high-containment pathogen stocks. Specifically, the award will enhance physical security measures at the Congolese laboratory to secure pathogens and prevent their potential diversion or theft. The work advances the Global Threat Reduction program's goal of minimizing biological dangers by strengthening international laboratory security practices.
