Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005184
The Iraq CBW Threat Reduction Activities opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005184) is a U.S. Department of State program run through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, specifically its Cooperative Threat Reduction office (ISN/CTR). It is funded under the Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) foreign assistance account, which is used to reduce proliferation risks and strengthen partner countries ability to prevent and respond to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. In practical terms, this opportunity is centered on Iraq and is aimed at lowering the chance that terrorist networks could access, exploit, or weaponize chemical or biological weapons-related materials and know-how.
The core purpose is to help Iraq prevent chemical and biological weapons (CBW) attacks by improving security around sensitive assets and by strengthening detection and investigative capacity. The program focuses on securing chemical and biological weapons-related assets, which the announcement describes broadly as materials, equipment, technologies, expertise, and infrastructure connected to chemical and biological work. The idea is not only to lock down physical items, but also to reduce the broader set of vulnerabilities that could enable a CBW incident, including weak procedures, inadequate safeguards, or gaps in oversight. A major emphasis is on identifying and addressing chemical and biological security vulnerabilities and on improving the ability to spot early warning signs of possible CBW attacks, then detect, investigate, and respond appropriately.
ISN/CTR indicates that it administers these activities in partnership with a wide range of Iraqi stakeholders, including government bodies, security organizations, academic institutions, public health entities, and industrial communities. That partnership-based framing signals that the work is meant to be collaborative and capacity-building, strengthening Iraqi systems and institutions rather than simply delivering one-time support. It also suggests activities that cut across sectors, since chemical and biological risks can sit at the intersection of laboratory work, public health surveillance, industrial chemical handling, border or facility security, and law enforcement or incident response.
From a grant structure standpoint, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects substantial involvement in shaping, guiding, or overseeing the project during implementation compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is listed as discretionary and falls under an "Other" funding activity category (with details presumably provided in the full notice). The CFDA number attached is 19.033, which corresponds to State Department nonproliferation and security assistance programming.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting shows an unusual set of administrative details: it was created on June 12, 2018, with an original closing date of June 13, 2018, implying a very short application window or a notice that may have been time-sensitive. The award ceiling and expected number of awards are both listed as 0, which often indicates that specific funding levels and award counts were not publicly specified in the synopsis or were to be determined based on available funds and program needs.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to reduce the likelihood of chemical or biological terrorism in Iraq by securing sensitive CBW-related assets, closing security gaps that could be exploited, and enhancing early detection and investigative capabilities, all through coordinated work with Iraqi government, security, public health, academic, and industrial partners under State Departments ISN/CTR threat reduction programming.Apply for SFOP0005184
