This file is a Federal Grant Opportunity announcement for advancing forensic science capabilities in Morocco under the Criminal Justice Systems program (CFDA 19.703), administered by the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. The grant supports the "Disrupting Transnational Criminal Organizations Through Advanced Forensic Capabilities in Morocco" initiative, which builds on existing INL support that has established Morocco as a global leader in forensics. The program funds initiatives to strengthen law enforcement operational capacity, judicial systems, and criminal justice institutions in partner countries through training, legal skills instruction, institutional capacity-building, anti-corruption initiatives, and technical assistance in evidence handling and forensics.

The Criminal Justice Systems program demonstrates diverse funding levels, with recent awards ranging from several hundred dollars for individual training to cooperative agreements exceeding $2.4 million for comprehensive facility operations. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, and other non-profit entities. Recipients must maintain financial records for three years and comply with 2 CFR Subpart F federal audit requirements. Performance periods typically span 12-36 months, with application deadlines and project start dates varying throughout 2025. Active solicitations across the program seek proposals for specialized law enforcement training, criminal justice reforms, and anti-corruption initiatives, with funding opportunities ranging from approximately $35,000 for limited-scope assessments to $4 million for comprehensive multi-country programs.
