Opportunity Summary:
The Global Chemical Security Engagement Activities opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ISN ISNCTR 13 001) is a U.S. Department of State funding competition run through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, specifically the Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (ISN/CTR). It is designed to support projects that strengthen global chemical security by advancing the goals of the Department's Chemical Security Engagement Program (CSP). In practical terms, the solicitation is looking for work that reduces risks associated with the misuse, theft, diversion, or unsafe handling of chemical materials and related capabilities, particularly in ways that align with broader international threat reduction and nonproliferation objectives.
Funding is offered as cooperative agreements, meaning the government expects to be more actively involved than in a standard grant relationship, typically through coordination, input on planning, or ongoing programmatic collaboration. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with CFDA 19.033 (Global Threat Reduction). For the fiscal year covered by the announcement, ISN/CTR indicated it had about $8,000,000 available in total and intended to make multiple awards rather than a single large award.
A key budgeting preference is that individual proposed projects come in under $500,000. However, the announcement also leaves room for larger overall award amounts when a proposal contains multiple related projects whose combined cost exceeds $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness based solely on match.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations as well as educational institutions. The eligibility list explicitly includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not institutions of higher education). The notice does not add extra eligibility constraints beyond those categories in the provided summary fields.
The posting timeline shows the opportunity was posted on December 6, 2012, created on December 5, 2012, and had an application deadline of February 1, 2013, with an archive date of March 3, 2013. For applicants needing technical assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed support channel is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except federal holidays.
