Countering Iran's Ballistic Missile Capability

The Department of State’s Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (ISN/CTR) sponsors foreign assistance activities funded by the Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account, and focuses on mitigating weapons of mass destruction (WMD), related delivery systems, and advanced conventional weapons proliferation and security threats from proliferator states and non-state actors. ISN/CTR is pleased to announce an open competition for assistance awards through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). ISN/CTR invites non-profit organizations, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), non-governmental organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, and for-profit organizations to submit proposals for projects that will advance the mission of the Department’s Counter-Proliferation Program. The Islamic Republic of Iran continues to develop ballistic missile capabilities that threaten U.S. national security interests and are in violation of certain United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs), including UNSCR 2231. This NOFO solicits proposals specifically aimed at countering the development of, and the advancements in, Iran’s ballistic missile program and at improving international adherence to the relevant UNSCRs and other multilateral and bilateral sanctions.
