## What the grant funds

The Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR), part of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN), sponsors foreign assistance activities funded by the Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account, and focuses on mitigating weapons of mass destruction (WMD), related delivery systems, and advanced conventional weapons proliferation and security threats from proliferator states and non-state actors. An underlying aim of all ISN/CTR’s efforts is long-term sustainability to maximize programmatic impact while minimizing the need for foreign partners to rely on outside financial or technical assistance. This NOFO covers two ISN/CTR lines of effort (LOEs): 1) Countering the PRC’s MCF Strategy and 2) Balancing the Risks and Rewards of Emerging Technologies with WMD Applications. Please indicate in your submission which LOE the proposal addresses.
