About this opportunity
The Department of State's Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (ISN/NDF) is seeking proposals for laboratory twinning projects focused on developing genome sequence analysis capabilities to investigate alleged biological weapons attacks. This NOFO is open to non-profit/non-governmental organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, and for-profit organizations, as well as U.S. federal government entities. The key objectives are to develop the capabilities of at least two laboratories in Latin America to perform forensic genome sequence analysis, with expertise required in bioinformatics, epidemiology, and microbiology. Applicants must demonstrate a clear linkage between proposed activities and nonproliferation goals, with quantitative and qualitative deliverables, detailed implementation timelines, and sustainability plans showing partner country ownership.
The available funding for this opportunity is $480,000 for 1-2 awards over a 36-month period. The projects are expected to be implemented internationally, with a focus on enhancing laboratory capabilities beyond the Global North to ensure proper sample preservation and analysis in biological weapons investigations. Proposals are due by January 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET through the MyGrants system, under CFDA 19.224 (Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund).
