United Nations Interregional Crime And Justice Research Institute

The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) is an international organization registered in SAM.gov that specializes in providing specialized technical expertise and research services to U.S. federal agencies focused on nonproliferation, disarmament, and combating weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats. As a not-for-profit international organization, UNICRI has demonstrated significant capabilities in developing strategic frameworks, conducting collaborative international efforts, and providing technical assistance related to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) risk mitigation and prevention.

UNICRI has received multiple federal grant awards from key agencies like the Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), focusing on critical national security objectives. These grants, ranging from $215,000 to $1,000,000, have supported diverse projects including developing CBRN disinformation countermeasure strategies, creating response toolkits for policymakers, conducting counter-nuclear smuggling initiatives in the Black Sea region, and executing the Countering Proliferation Financing and Sanctions Program. The organization's grant work encompasses technical assistance, capacity building, training, research, and development of frameworks to prevent, detect, and mitigate potential WMD risks. Their projects consistently aim to enhance international capabilities in managing complex security challenges through collaborative research, strategic planning, and knowledge dissemination across multiple jurisdictions.
