About this opportunity
The Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism is seeking a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to develop early detection strategies for terrorist activity prevention in Tajikistan through a cooperative agreement. The project aims to help at-risk communities detect, report, and respond to illicit trends, with a specific focus on frontier localities to interdict potential terrorist movement and recruitment. Key objectives include building Tajikistan's capability to identify and respond to terrorist activities at their source, ultimately protecting U.S. border security. The grant falls under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701), which supports international law enforcement capacity building in counterterrorism efforts. Applicants must demonstrate expertise in developing community-based early detection strategies, with proposals evaluated on their potential to effectively identify and mitigate terrorist risks in Central Asia.
The federal grant opportunity is posted with a due date of August 7, 2025, and is typically consistent with the program's historical award ranges of $500,000 to $7 million. Performance periods for such grants generally span 12 to 36 months, with the primary location of performance being in Tajikistan's frontier regions. The cooperative agreement will focus on developing strategic interventions to prevent terrorist recruitment and cross-border illicit activities, particularly in areas vulnerable to ISIS-K influence. This grant represents a targeted approach to enhancing counterterrorism capabilities in a critical Central Asian region of strategic importance to U.S. national security interests.
Synopsis
Tajikistan is a critical counterterrorism nexus in Central Asia, a region ISIS-K seeks to exploit for recruitment and illicit cross-border activities. Despite vulnerabilities caused by Tajikistan's remote and rugged borders, which create risks of illicit movement, it appears the greatest terrorist risk to the region and U.S. security lies in the potential of terrorist groups to inspire, recruit, and organize Central Asians to commit attacks. This project seeks to develop early detection strategies for at-risk communities to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends and activities, with a focus in frontier localities. In doing so, this project builds Tajikistan's capability to interdict terrorist activity and movement through early detection, responding to terrorist activity at the source to protect America's borders and security.
