This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations working to strengthen global biosecurity and prevent the misuse of biological materials and technologies, particularly in high-risk regions.
Description
ISN/CTRs Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP) seeks to mitigate global biological threats by securing and/or protecting against the misuse of high consequence pathogens, synthetic biological materials, biotechnologies, genomic data, life sciences research, laboratory infrastructure, and related equipment for biological weapons (BW) purposes, and helping foreign partners develop biosecurity policy, guidance and technical capabilities at the national and regional levels to promote the adoption or compliance with international best practices and frameworks that advance U.S. biological nonproliferation objectives.
