This Federal Grant is for initiatives aimed at enhancing security in Iraq against evolving threats. Despite recent leadership losses, ISIS and other terrorist groups remain active, posing a persistent danger. Furthermore, U.S., Iraqi, and allied security forces are increasingly targeted by unmanned aerial system (UAS) attacks from Iran-backed militia groups. A critical concern is the vulnerability of legitimate chemical and biological materials, and their precursor suppliers, to exploitation by nefarious actors for WMD purposes due to inadequate security protocols. This grant seeks proposals to develop and implement effective strategies and technologies to counter these pressing WMD and UAS dangers, safeguarding personnel and preventing proliferation in the region. The deadline for applications is January 17, 2025.
