The update indicates that no awards will be issued under this specific solicitation, and interested parties are advised to monitor future opportunities related to CFDA 19.033 (Global Threat Reduction program).

The associated federal grant opportunity focuses on building partner capabilities to protect critical advanced and emerging technologies, addressing vulnerabilities in international research organizations and tech industries against malign actors seeking to acquire intellectual property and data. The program aims to counter potential threats from dual-use technologies that could be leveraged for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) development, with a comprehensive approach to nonproliferation efforts spanning biological, chemical, nuclear, and conventional weapons domains. Typical award ranges have historically been between $50,000 and $500,000, with performance periods around 12-15 months and target locations across over 30 countries.
