Update to NOFO DFOP0016995.docx

This document is an Update to a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) DFOP0016995 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), focused on countering weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Iran, will not be issuing any awards due to updated policy guidance.

The federal grant opportunity was designed to support U.S. policy objectives by training international partners to implement UN Security Council Resolutions, detect and halt DPRK sanctions evasion, and impede financial and material activities supporting WMD development. The program's approach included capacity-building, open-source research, and specialized efforts to help countries detect and shut down proliferation networks. However, this specific solicitation has been cancelled, and potential applicants are advised to monitor future opportunities under CFDA 19.033.
