The ISN Bureau is organized around three mutually reinforcing efforts: Nonproliferation Policy, International Security Policy, International Security and Nonproliferation Programming.
This grant aims to enhance U.S. foreign policy and national security by supporting projects that make strategic trade control systems more aligned with the needs and perspectives of partner states and comply with international standards. It involves engaging at bilateral, regional, and multilateral levels with foreign governments to help establish independent capabilities for regulating and managing transfers of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), WMD-related items, conventional arms, and related dual-use items. The grant also focuses on efforts to detect, interdict, investigate, and prosecute illicit transfers of such materials. Additionally, it supports the development and strengthening of national and institutional capabilities among EXBS partners to counter illicit financial activities and fulfill the requirements of the FAFT’s CPF. Eligible partners for this grant include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia.
