About this opportunity
The Department of State's Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (ISN/NDF) is seeking proposals for a Laboratory Twinning program focused on developing genome sequence analysis capabilities to investigate alleged biological weapons attacks. The grant opportunity (DFOP0017103) aims to build the capacity of at least two laboratories in Latin America to become trusted resources for biological weapons investigations through training in forensic genome sequence analysis, bioinformatics, epidemiology, and microbiology. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and U.S. federal government entities. Key requirements include existing technical capacity in genome sequence analysis, experience with international biological weapons investigation mechanisms, and relationships with Latin American laboratories. Proposals will be evaluated on their ability to meet the program's nonproliferation objectives.
The total funding available is $480,000, with the expectation of 1-2 awards. The performance period for selected projects is up to 36 months. The grant falls under the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (CFDA 19.224) program, which provides rapid, flexible funding for high-priority nonproliferation and disarmament initiatives globally. Proposals are due by January 31, 2025.
