Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0017268

This U.S. government grant opportunity, titled "Countering U.S. Adversary WMD and Drone Threats in Iraq," focuses on disrupting Iranian-backed threats in Iraq, particularly those involving drones and weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The program operates through targeted initiatives in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan to prevent the development and use of chemical, biological, radiological, and drone-based attacks against U.S. forces, allies like Israel, and regional stability.

The initiative enhances Iraq's own ability to counter these threats by supporting military, law enforcement, and labs in identifying, intercepting, and responding to such dangers. This includes stopping adversary groups from obtaining the materials, technologies, and expertise needed to build WMDs or conduct attacks using unmanned aerial systems. In doing so, the program aims to weaken Iranian proxy networks in the region and improve U.S. leverage in broader negotiations with Iran, particularly around its nuclear activities.

Eligible applicants include a wide range of U.S. and foreign entities, such as nonprofit organizations, businesses, universities, public international organizations, and federally funded research centers.
