## What the grant funds

ISN/CTR's Chemical Security Program (CSP) is a counterproliferation program designed to prevent U.S. adversaries from acquiring the materials, equipment, and expertise needed to advance chemical weapons (CW) programs that threaten U.S. national security. CSP engages key stakeholders in frontline countries to ensure they are better able to identify, interdict, and investigate high-risk transfers; enforce U.S. sanctions; recognize and attribute chemical attacks; and promote U.S. chemical security standards and risk-based best practices for partner country chemical industries. Through targeted engagements, CSP disrupts U.S. adversaries' efforts to weaponize pharmaceutical based agents (PBAs) for offensive and military applications, builds countries ability to recognize and attribute chemical weapons (CW) attacks, and disrupts illicit chemical shipments that could be used to produce CW. CSP also promotes security coordination between partner governments and private industry to improve counterproliferation implementation. Through this targeted, preventive programming, CSP enhances U.S. and partner resilience by closing the chemical counterproliferation gaps exploited by American adversaries, while simultaneously promoting U.S. chemical security standards and reducing undue burden on business.
