Opportunities for Funding

The purpose of this NOFO is to solicit applications from non-federal parties to which the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will issue awards of grants or cooperative agreements through the CVPCP, CVPIA and the HRP. The CVPCP and HRP implement actions intended to protect, restore, and enhance special-status species (excluding fish) and their habitats that have been affected by the operation of the Central Valley Project (CVP) and implementation of the CVPIA, with a special emphasis on federally listed species. The main objectives of the programs are to: (1) protect and restore native habitatsimpacted by the CVP, (2) stabilize and improve populations of native species impacted by the CVP, and (3) assist with the recovery of federally and state-listed species whose populations have been impacted by the CVP.

In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget’s guidance located at 2 CFR part 200, all applicable Federal laws, and relevant Executive guidance, the Federal awarding agency will review and consider applications for funding pursuant to this notice of funding opportunity and the Program seeks to implement the Biden-Harris administrations priorities through the following Executive Orders:
• Executive Order 14008: Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad - Directs, which directs the Department and other Federal agencies to prioritize efforts to support land conservation and biodiversity efforts.
• Executive Order 13985 – Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities through the Federal Government – Federally recognized tribes are eligible to apply under this NOFO.
• Executive Order 14005 – Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers – This NOFO relies on US-based non-profits, tribes, and California state agencies. Through this action Reclamation and the Service will also ensure that Tribes and Tribal organizations are eligible to participate, consistent with underlying law (P.L. 102-575, Title XXXIV, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Section 3407(e)), and receive appropriate technical assistance if required.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announces the availability of funds and solicits applications from eligible entities to incentivize and accelerate the upgrading or retirement of the nation’s legacy diesel engine fleet.

EREF is one of the largest sources of private research funding in North America related to sustainable materials management. Our grants program has provided millions of dollars in funding to cutting edge research institutions to help address the many challenges that exist.

The process for grant consideration involves the submission of a 2-page pre-proposal aligned with the areas noted in the RFP. Pre-proposals are reviewed by staff and EREF’s Research Council, a committee of subject matter experts. Successful pre-proposals are invited to submit full proposals, which are reviewed by both academic peers and non-academic subject matter experts. The Research Council uses these reviews and discusses the relevancy of the proposed research topics to create a recommendation for funding. This recommendation is then received by EREF’s Board of Directors for final award consideration.

The Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grant program (Community Change Grants), created by the Inflation Reduction Act, offers an unprecedented $2 billion in grants under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The Community Change Grants will fund community-driven projects that address climate challenges and reduce pollution while strengthening communities through thoughtful implementation. This historic level of support will enable communities and their partners to overcome long standing environmental challenges and implement meaningful solutions to meet community needs now and for generations to come. There will be two tracks of funding under this opportunity. Track I will fund approximately 150 large, transformational community-driven investment grants of $10 million - $20 million. Track II will fund approximately 20 meaningful engagement grants of $1 million - $3 million. Grants cannot exceed 3-years in duration. Please review the NOFO for further information about the exciting opportunities under the Community Change Grants program and details about the application process.

The Initiative for Supportive Housing Development (INSiDE) NOFO targets efforts within Continuum of Care (CoC) geographic areas to address and reduce homelessness by adding new units of permanent supportive housing (PSH) through new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation through one-time INSiDE awards under the CoC program. PSH is permanent housing in which supportive services are provided to assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness with a disability to live independently. Additionally, no more than 20 percent of an award made under this NOFO, may also be for other eligible CoC Program activities associated with the PSH project, (e.g., supportive services, operating costs, administrative costs (Section IV.G.1 of this NOFO), and no more than 10 percent of an award may be used for project administration.The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (24 CFR part 578) (the Rule) is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, Indian Tribes, tribally designated housing entities (as defined in section 4 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4103) (TDHEs)), and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and youth while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.HUD has the following three goals for this competition:Affirmatively further fair housing by addressing barriers that continue segregation, hinder access to areas of opportunity for protected class groups and vulnerable populations and concentrate affordable housing in under-resources areas.Increase the supply of new permanent supportive housing units within CoC geographic areas to address homelessness for individuals and families experiencing homelessness where one member of the household has a disability.Ensure new permanent supportive housing units are easily accessible to local services; e.g., reliable transportation services, within walking distance.
