The Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) announces this funding opportunity to protect American economic interests, personnel, and national security by supporting the Government of Iraq’s (GOI) capabilities to counter unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) threats while simultaneously advancing Iraqi security forces’ capability to protect critical infrastructure. This program should deliver concrete returns for American taxpayers by safeguarding U.S. commercial investments in Iraq’s energy sector and reducing threats to American personnel from Iran and Iran-Aligned Milita Groups (IAMGs). U.S. companies maintain significant investments in Iraqi oil and gas production, representing substantial American economic interests. UAS operated by Iran and IAMGs present a persistent and escalating threat to these American investments and to U.S. personnel operating in Iraq. Recent drone attacks on U.S. facilities in Erbil and Baghdad illustrate IAMGs intent and capabilities to attack American interests. By supporting Iraq’s ability to both defend against hostile UAS and conduct proactive surveillance operations, this program should directly protect American economic assets and reduce risks to American citizens abroad. This program advances critical U.S. national security priorities outlined in the U.S. Department of State Agency Strategic Plan for fiscal years 2026-2030, 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) and National Security Presidential Memorandum-2 (NSPM-2) on Countering Iran and IAMGs by degrading the operational capabilities of their UAS and protecting U.S. interes...

The Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) announces this funding opportunity to strengthen Iraq’s ability to investigate and respond to terrorist attacks and incursions along the Iraq-Syria border during a critical period of regional transition. This program should deliver concrete returns for American taxpayers by reducing threats to U.S. diplomatic and military facilities, safeguarding American commercial operations, and preventing terrorist attacks that endanger Americans abroad. The proliferation of Iran-aligned militia groups (IAMGs) and continued presence of ISIS in the region have created a fragile security environment with elevated risks of border exploitation for weapons, explosives, and human smuggling. Porous borders enable IAMGs and other terrorist organizations to move personnel, material, and illicit goods that directly threaten U.S. personnel, American commercial interests, and regional stability affecting U.S. security. Recent events illustrate the ongoing threat from IAMGs, who attacked numerous U.S. personnel and facilities in Erbil and Baghdad since February 28. They have historically conducted rocket and drone attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities, military installations, and commercial facilities. By supporting Iraq’s border security capabilities, this program reduces terrorist operational capacity that threatens U.S. interests. This program should be designed to reduce Iraq’s long-term dependency on U.S. taxpayer resources by building sustainable Iraqi civilian law enforcement capabilities to independently respond to attacks and dismant...

The Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) announces this funding opportunity to protect American economic and security interests by supporting Pakistan’s law enforcement counterterrorism abilities in Balochistan Province. This program should deliver concrete returns for American taxpayers by safeguarding U.S. commercial access to critical minerals essential to technological advancement, defense manufacturing, and economic competitiveness. Balochistan Province contains significant deposits of critical minerals essential to American national security and economic prosperity. The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) emphasizes “economic security is fundamental to national security” and calls for securing “independent and reliable access to the goods we need to defend ourselves and preserve our way of life.” Terrorist organizations operating in Balochistan, including the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), ISIS-K, and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), pose persistent threats to regional stability that directly threaten American access to these strategic resources. This program should be designed to reduce Pakistan’s long-term dependency on U.S. taxpayer resources by building sustainable Pakistani law enforcement capabilities to independently identify, disrupt, and deter terrorist networks. Through protection of critical infrastructure technical assistance and potential complementary equipment provision, the program should enable Pakistan to assume greater responsibility for counterterrorism operations in Balochistan without ongoing U.S. support. All activities m...

This project seeks to counter the ability of terrorist organizations, including ISIS-K, to exploit vulnerabilities in Tajikistan’s anti-money laundering and financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime to finance external operations targeting the U.S. Homeland and interests abroad. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has called attention to multiple deficiencies in Tajikistan’s AML/CFT regime, including terrorist financing investigations and domestic coordination capabilities. FATF has also highlighted Tajikistan’s ability to conduct parallel financial investigations is impeded due to limited ability to access and utilize financial data, legal system time constraints, and a lack of trained financial investigators. The project should provide technical assistance, a tailored curriculum, and case-based mentoring to strengthen Tajikistan’s ability to successfully investigate and prosecute terrorist financing cases, in line with FATF standards.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to encourage institutions to propose creative and innovative institutional research career development programs which will prepare clinically trained vision scientists for independent research careers. This NOFO is intended to expand and strengthen the community of clinician investigators engaged in vision research. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) allows the appointment of Scholars proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial; or proposing a separate ancillary clinical trial; or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator as part of their research and career development program. For this career development program scholars are limited to clinical trials that are minimal risk. The existing clinical trial must be a NIH-defined clinical trial that fulfills the NIH requirement for minimal risk trial. A minimal risk trial is one in which the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the research are not greater in and of themselves than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests.
