Update to NOFO DFOP0016992.docx

This document is an update to a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) DFOP0016992 from the Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. The update indicates that no awards will be issued under the current solicitation for the Global Threat Reduction program (CFDA 19.033), and potential applicants are advised to monitor future opportunities.

The related federal grant opportunity focuses on building partner capabilities to counter Russian Federation's chemical and biological threats. The program stems from U.S. assessments of chemical weapons usage by Russia in the U.K., Russia, and Ukraine, which has prompted U.S. government sanctions against approximately 25 entities in Russia and Western Europe. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, aligned with the Global Threat Reduction program's broader mission of reducing proliferation risks and enhancing international security through targeted nonproliferation efforts.
