The Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation awarded a $100,000 cooperative agreement to Marc-Michael Blum Wissenschaftliche Dienste under the Global Threat Reduction program (CFDA 19.033) to build partner capacity in Macaristan. The award, made on October 1, 2022 and set to conclude December 31, 2023, will support efforts to ensure proper reporting and address disinformation after a chemical or biological incident in Eastern Europe. Specifically, the recipient will work to enhance the ability of Macaristanian officials to invoke and receive vital international assistance in such situations. Given the program's focus on reducing threats from terrorist groups or states of concern, this award aims to strengthen incident response and counter malign influence campaigns regarding such events.
