Description

The U.S. Department of State’s (DOS) Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (NDF) seeks to award grants to an institution/institutions to support one-year fellowships for up to five (5) of the U.S. Government’s former Afghan partners, who were previously employed by the Afghan government or in chemical/biological industry/academia. The fellowships will be designed to provide support (in the form of research, guidance, training, etc.) to U.S. efforts to block Afghanistan-based terrorist access via foreign suppliers to weaponizable chemical agent precursors (including rudimentary/toxic gas precursors and other classes of threat materials), biological agents (including highly infectious endemic diseases, and especially dangerous pathogen samples), and dual use equipment (including laboratory equipment or dissemination devices, such as agricultural and other sprayer systems and fermenters). Please view the documentation attached to this solicitation on SAMS Domestic for complete application instructions.
