Opportunity Summary:
Global Chemical Security Engagement Activities is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, run through the Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (ISN/CTR). The competition is released as a Request for Proposals and is designed to fund practical, on-the-ground projects that support and advance the Department's Chemical Security Program (CSP). In plain terms, the program is looking for partners that can help reduce global chemical threats by improving how chemical materials and related capabilities are secured, managed, and protected, consistent with broader international threat reduction goals.
For the fiscal year tied to this announcement, ISN/CTR indicated approximately $16.6 million in total funding available, with the intent to make multiple awards (the listing anticipates up to about 30 awards). Funding can be provided either as grants or cooperative agreements, meaning applicants should be prepared for the possibility of substantial government involvement and coordination during project implementation, particularly under cooperative agreements. While the opportunity shows an award ceiling of up to $15 million and no stated minimum award amount, ISN/CTR signals a clear preference for smaller, targeted efforts, generally under $250,000 per project. At the same time, the announcement notes that an award could include multiple projects under one award package, which could push total amounts beyond $500,000 when grouped together.
Eligible applicants are primarily mission-driven and research or capacity-building institutions, including nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, U.S. and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as described in the eligibility section). Public international organizations are also explicitly encouraged to apply. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers the barrier for participation and can make it easier for specialized organizations to propose technically strong projects without needing to assemble additional external financing.
The opportunity was posted on November 19, 2014, with a proposal due date of February 13, 2015, and an archive date of March 15, 2015. It is associated with CFDA number 19.033 (Global Threat Reduction). For administrative support accessing the full announcement, the listing directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (support@grants.gov, 1-800-518-4726), which is available around the clock except federal holidays.
