About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity from the Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation seeks proposals to build partner capabilities to address Russian malign influence through chemical and radiological attacks. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, educational institutions, federally funded research centers, and for-profit organizations with experience countering Russian disinformation campaigns and assisting victims of chemical weapons attacks. Proposals will be reviewed under the Global Threat Reduction program and are due by January 31, 2024, with evaluation criteria assessing the activity description, organizational capability, and budget.
Awards will range from $50,000 to $300,000 for projects up to 12 months in length focusing on objectives such as enhancing detection of Russian chemical weapons, strengthening resilience against disinformation campaigns, and developing strategic communications plans. Successful proposals are expected to further the goals of preventing proliferation and addressing Russian influence through capacity building and technical assistance activities in various countries around the world.
Synopsis
2 versions
Update #2 · Latest ·
The Russian Federation has a well-documented history of using chemical and radiological agents to target adversaries. This includes attempts to assassinate opposition politicians in Russia, dissidents and defectors abroad, and even citizens of other countries whose actions Russia disagrees with. The entire world witnessed the images of the Russian Federation's attempts at assassinating Sergei Skripal and Aleksey Navalny using chemical weapons. The assassination attempt against Skripal in Salisbury, U.K. in 2018 was particularly notable because it involved the first known use of a Novichok nerve agent, developed by the Soviet Union. In fact, a 2020 chemical analysis by Germany, France, and Sweden, and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, confirmed that Russia had specifically used a Novichok agent again in the assassination attempt of Aleksey Navalny. Russia's brazen use of these deadly agents to target adversaries is a notable feature of Russian statecraft that spans across multiple countries.
