About this opportunity
The Department of State 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 grant opportunity targets administrators at Al Amal Rehabilitation Center, service providers, and Government of Iraq personnel who will work with individuals returning from al-Hol and Roj displaced persons camps. Applicants must submit a comprehensive 12-page proposal demonstrating their ability to train service workers on deradicalization and community reintegration strategies, with a focus on addressing potential radicalization among children, adolescents, and adults. The evaluation will likely assess the proposed program's sustainability, human rights approach, and ability to create targeted interventions for different demographic groups. The application deadline is August 4, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST, with preliminary questions due by July 3, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST.
The total available funding for this grant is $986,500, with a single award anticipated for a 24-month performance period beginning October 1, 2025. The project will be implemented in Iraq, specifically at the Al Amal Rehabilitation Center and local governorates where returnees are being resettled. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, educational institutions, for-profit organizations, and public international organizations, with the opportunity allowing for consortium applications where one organization serves as the prime recipient. The grant falls under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701) and aims to prevent the reemergence of ISIS and mitigate potential attacks on U.S. homeland and overseas interests.
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.
