Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008430
The grant opportunity titled "Countering Iran's Ballistic Missile Capability" 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 funded under the Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account, which supports foreign assistance work intended to reduce threats tied to weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems, and other advanced weapons-related proliferation risks. In practical terms, the program is looking for projects that help limit or disrupt the spread and advancement of sensitive capabilities and strengthen the broader international system that is meant to deter or penalize proliferation.
The focus of this particular notice is Iran's ongoing development of ballistic missile capabilities, which the Department of State characterizes as a threat to U.S. national security interests and as inconsistent with certain United Nations Security Council resolutions, including UNSCR 2231. Proposals are expected to directly support counter-proliferation goals related to Iran's missile program, either by countering the program's development and modernization or by improving how well other countries and partners follow and enforce relevant UN requirements and other multilateral or bilateral sanctions. Put simply, the U.S. government is soliciting ideas that strengthen international compliance and reduce Iran's ability to advance its missile capabilities through procurement networks, technology access, or external support.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means there will be substantial involvement by the Department of State during execution, such as coordination on activities, milestones, and deliverables. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is listed under CFDA 19.033. The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) number is SFOP0008430.
A wide range of applicants are invited to apply. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), non-governmental organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, and for-profit organizations. This breadth suggests the Department is open to technical, policy, analytical, capacity-building, and international engagement approaches, as long as the proposed work clearly advances the counter-proliferation mission tied to Iran's ballistic missile program and compliance with relevant restrictions.
In terms of scale and timing, the NOFO was created on October 28, 2021, with an original closing date of January 31, 2022. The award ceiling is $250,000 per award, and the opportunity indicates an expectation of up to 50 awards, signaling an intent to fund multiple smaller, targeted efforts rather than a single large program.Apply for SFOP0008430
