About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism is seeking a cooperative agreement to develop skills and techniques for identifying, preventing, and countering ISIS ideology among Iraqi returnees from northeast Syria. The primary objective is to assist administrators at Al Amal Rehabilitation Center, local service providers, and Government of Iraq personnel in mitigating potential terrorist threats and preventing the reemergence of ISIS. Applicants must demonstrate expertise in counterterrorism interventions, deradicalization strategies, and capacity-building for personnel working with returnees from displaced persons camps. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the applicant's proposed methodology for skill development, understanding of ISIS ideology, and potential impact on preventing terrorist recruitment. The application deadline is August 4, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST, with the opportunity open to not-for-profit organizations, educational institutions, for-profit organizations, and public international organizations.
The total available funding for this grant is $986,500, allocated for a single award with a 24-month performance period beginning October 1, 2025. The place of performance will be primarily in Iraq, specifically at the Al Amal Rehabilitation Center and surrounding local communities. This grant is part of the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701) and aims to build capacity among key stakeholders to address the challenges of returnees who may have been exposed to ISIS ideology, with a particular focus on children and adolescents from the al Hol and Roj displaced persons camps.
Synopsis
Iraqis returning from northeast Syria (NES) via Al Amal Rehabilitation Center, formerly known as Jeddah-1 or J1, in the coming year are likely to include a larger proportion of individuals who subscribe to some degree of ISIS ideology, including children and adolescents who have grown up in the al Hol and Roj displaced persons camps. Administrators at Al Amal, service providers in local communities, and Government of Iraq (GOI) personnel need assistance in developing the necessary skill sets and techniques to effectively identify, prevent, and counter ISIS ideology among returnees from NES to prevent the reemergence of ISIS and mitigate potential attacks on the U.S. homeland and U.S. persons and facilities overseas.
