Update to NOFO DFOP0016984.docx

The document is an Update to a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) DFOP0016984 from the Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN/CTR). The NOFO, associated with the Global Threat Reduction program (CFDA 19.033), will not be issuing any awards under this current solicitation due to updated policy guidance.

The underlying federal grant opportunity focuses on building partner resilience to counter proliferator state hybrid threats in the nonproliferation arena. The program aims to address the erosion of nonproliferation norms, specifically targeting the concerning trend of WMD material usage, particularly chemical weapons. The Global Threat Reduction program supports comprehensive nonproliferation efforts, including capacity building, technical assistance, and engagement with international partners to secure sensitive materials and prevent potential technology misuse across biological, chemical, nuclear, and conventional weapon domains.
