Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0017244
The U.S. Department of State’s Countering Biological Weapons Threats grant, administered through the Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP), supports international efforts to prevent biological weapons development and misuse, particularly by U.S. adversaries. Aligned with a federal executive order focused on enhancing the safety and security of biological research, the program works to safeguard American biotechnologies, research data, and intellectual property, while boosting U.S. global leadership in the biotech sector.
BEP collaborates with a wide range of partners—such as research labs, universities, foreign governments, biotech companies, and professional associations—to promote the adoption of U.S. standards in lab safety, security, and cybersecurity. The goal is to reinforce global biosecurity infrastructure, counter foreign exploitation, and ensure U.S. leadership in biotechnology.
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based for-profit and non-profit organizations, educational institutions (both U.S. and foreign), international organizations, foreign public entities, NGOs, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers.Apply for DFOP0017244
