About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism is seeking a cooperative agreement to develop skills and techniques for countering ISIS ideologies among Iraqis returning from northeast Syria, specifically focusing on administrators, service providers, and government personnel at the Al Amal Rehabilitation Center. The grant opportunity aims to prevent the reemergence of ISIS and mitigate potential attacks by building capacity to identify and counter extremist ideologies among returnees from al-Hol and Roj displacement camps. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, educational institutions, for-profit organizations, and public international organizations. Evaluation criteria will include organizational capacity, key personnel qualifications, and the ability to develop a comprehensive Performance Monitoring Plan with at least three counterterrorism indicators. Critical dates include a question submission deadline of July 3, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, and a final application deadline of August 4, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST.
The federal grant provides $986,500 for a 24-month program beginning October 1, 2025, with the entire project to be implemented exclusively in Iraq. The cooperative agreement will focus on training service workers to develop deradicalization and community reintegration techniques, with no specific mandated proportions for age groups or beneficiary targeting. Implementers can propose their own key personnel and are permitted to sub-grant to local partners. The program falls under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701) and will prioritize building local capacity to address potential terrorist threats among returnee populations.
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.
