Strengthening Law Enforcement Engagement with Repatriated Individuals
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism is offering a cooperative agreement to improve law enforcement engagement with individuals repatriated from northeast Syria and Iraq in their countries of origin. The program is intended to help law enforcement prevent negative interactions with returnees, reduce local tensions and stigmatization, and lower the risk of radicalization and recidivism. The supported work also includes better monitoring of returnee populations and the development of early warning mechanisms for individuals who may be vulnerable to radicalization or reengagement in terrorist activity, with an emphasis on measurable performance monitoring plans that use SMART indicators and at least three CT Standard Indicators. The opportunity is for one award of $986,679 with no cost share, closes June 9, 2026, and lists hyattke@state.gov as the contact, with submissions directed through MyGrants.
