Supports a program to strengthen legal and financial disruption capabilities against Foreign Terrorist Organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean through training and multi-agency coordination.

--- ## Description This opportunity, offered by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism, will fund the establishment of a program to enhance the ability of Latin American and Caribbean partners to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate terrorism cases, disrupt terrorist financing, and dismantle Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) networks. The initiative aligns with the 2025 National Security Strategy and seeks to deepen regional partnerships, counter transnational threats, and protect U.S. interests in the Western Hemisphere. Activities include providing structured legal and financial-disruption training for investigators, prosecutors, and judges, improving legal frameworks, and fostering information sharing with U.S. counterparts. Applicants must coordinate with existing regional training activities, notably the International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA), and identify other relevant initiatives. Emphasis is on practical skills, multi-agency coordination, and targeted assistance, with a particular focus on newly designated FTOs and threats from Iranian proxies. --- ## Due Dates - June 12, 2026: Full application / application closing date --- ## Funding Amount - Award range: $8,000,000 (minimum) to $8,880,118 (maximum) - Anticipated number of awards: 1 - Funding instrument: Cooperative Agreement - Cost sharing/matching: Not required --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants include: - Not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations) - Public and private educational institutions - For-profit organizations - Public International Organizations (PIOs) - Governmental institutions --- ## Application Process - Applications must be submitted via [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/361863) by the stated deadline. - Applicants should ensure coordination with existing regional training activities, particularly the International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA), and identify any overlapping initiatives. - Refer to the [official opportunity listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/361863) for the full announcement and application package. - For further details or technical issues, consult the [MyGrants Portal](https://mygrants.servicenowservices.com/mygrants?id=mygrants_form&table=x_g_usd4_d_grant_funding_opportunity&sys_id=41d23b8b47888bd04f681864336d4346&view=Default). --- ## Additional Information - The program will emphasize practical training, multi-agency coordination, and targeted assistance. - Focus is on supporting partner countries in addressing threats from both FTOs and Iranian proxies, in line with National Security Presidential Memorandum-2 (NSPM-2). - Applicants must avoid duplicating existing training and coordinate efforts regionally. --- ## External Links - [Opportunity Listing on Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/361863) - [MyGrants Portal](https://mygrants.servicenowservices.com/mygrants?id=mygrants_form&table=x_g_usd4_d_grant_funding_opportunity&sys_id=41d23b8b47888bd04f681864336d4346&view=Default) - [Bureau of Counterterrorism Home Page](https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-civilian-security-democracy-and-human-rights/bureau-of-counterterrorism-and-countering-violent-extremism) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Email | |--------------------------|----------------------| | Grants Program Contact | adamsam1@state.gov |
