About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN/CTR) is seeking proposals for its Chemical Security Program (CSP), a counterproliferation initiative designed to prevent U.S. adversaries from acquiring materials, equipment, and expertise for chemical weapons programs. The program aims to engage stakeholders in frontline countries to identify, interdict, and investigate high-risk chemical transfers, enforce U.S. sanctions, and promote chemical security standards. Key objectives include disrupting chemical weapons transfer networks, enhancing global efforts to deter chemical weapons use, reinforcing international norms against chemical weapons, and preventing non-state actor chemical weapon attacks. Eligible applicants include U.S. for-profit organizations, non-profits, higher education institutions, foreign NGOs, research centers, and public international organizations. Proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to achieve the program's nonproliferation goals, with a focus on projects targeting regions such as Africa, East Asia Pacific, Europe, Near Eastern, South and Central Asian, and Western Hemisphere countries.

The grant opportunity will award approximately 10 grants ranging from $250,000 to $1,000,000, with a total available funding of $4,000,000. The anticipated project start date is January 1, 2026, with a performance period of 12-24 months. Proposals are due by 11:59 PM EDT on July 31, 2025, and will be submitted through Grants.gov as part of the Global Threat Reduction program (CFDA 19.033). The funding is part of the Fiscal Year 25/26 Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account, with a focus on closing chemical counterproliferation gaps and promoting U.S. chemical security standards across government, private industry, and academic sectors.

Synopsis

ISN/CTR's Chemical Security Program (CSP) is a counterproliferation program designed to prevent U.S. adversaries from acquiring the materials, equipment, and expertise needed to advance chemical weapons (CW) programs that threaten U.S. national security. CSP engages key stakeholders in frontline countries to ensure they are better able to identify, interdict, and investigate high-risk transfers; enforce U.S. sanctions; recognize and attribute chemical attacks; and promote U.S. chemical security standards and risk-based best practices for partner country chemical industries. Through targeted engagements, CSP disrupts U.S. adversaries' efforts to weaponize pharmaceutical based agents (PBAs) for offensive and military applications, builds countries ability to recognize and attribute chemical weapons (CW) attacks, and disrupts illicit chemical shipments that could be used to produce CW. CSP also promotes security coordination between partner governments and private industry to improve counterproliferation implementation. Through this targeted, preventive programming, CSP enhances U.S. and partner resilience by closing the chemical counterproliferation gaps exploited by American adversaries, while simultaneously promoting U.S. chemical security standards and reducing undue burden on business.
