Funding Opportunities
Support programs and practices that strengthen Native Hawaiian resource management knowledge and skills to meet the housing needs of their ʻohana, increasing safety, stability, social support networks, and cultural connection in Native Hawaiian communities. Projects include those that support Native Hawaiians to rent or own housing that meets their ʻohana financial and wellbeing needs.
Support programs and practices that strengthen the health of the ʻāina, including increasing community stewardship of Hawai‘i’s natural and cultural resources that foster connection to ‘āina,‘ohana, and communities; and/or increasing restoration of Native Hawaiian cultural sites, landscapes, kulāiwi and traditional food systems.
Support programs and practices that preserve and perpetuate Hawaiian language, culture, traditions, identity and sense of lāhui.
Support programs and practices that strengthen the wellbeing of vulnerable populations, including Native Hawaiian kupuna; rural communities; LGBTQIA2S+ communities; and/or Native Hawaiians impacted by houselessness, incarceration, human trafficking, or intimate partner violence.
Support the development and use of educational resources for all Native Hawaiian lifelong learners in schools, communities and ohana, including supporting Native Hawaiian students to enter educational systems ready to learn; supporting Native Hawaiian students graduating high school to be college, career, and community ready; and/or supporting Native Hawaiians to engage in traditional learning systems (e.g., hale, hālau, mua, hale pe‘a) that re-establish/maintain strong cultural foundations and identity.
The Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) program, an interdisciplinary research and engagement program, is housed in the NOAA Climate Program Office’s (CPO’s) Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) Division. The AdSci program advances the knowledge, methods, and frameworks needed to move society beyond incremental adaptation toward more widespread, connected, and transformative adaptive pathways and resilience strategies with clear economic, social, cultural and environmental co-benefits. This work is conducted through a combination of dedicated partnerships that support capacity building and engagement activities, and competitive research awards designed to address key knowledge and information needs. Given the global complexities involved in climate impacts and society’s adaptive strategies, the AdSci program supports work both within and outside of the United States.
AdSci has two core objectives:
*Developing an understanding of key drivers and conditions that shape and enable adaptation across multiple temporal and spatial scales, in particular geographies and settings where this knowledge can be practically applied to efforts to reduce risk and enhance resilience in equitable ways; and
*Identifying key aspects of and promoting opportunities for the use of scientific information to best support preparedness and planned adaptation of high value to social and economic goals.
The Topic Areas included in this FOA are:
Topic Area 1: Electrification of Industrial Heat
Topic Area 2: Efficient Energy Use in Industrial Systems
Topic Area 3: Decarbonizing Organic Wastewater and Wet Waste Treatment
IEDO expects additional funding opportunities to focus on transformational technologies to address subsector-specific challenges in energy- and emissions-intensive industries.
This FOA is part of DOE’s Technologies for Industrial Emissions Reduction Development (TIEReD) Program. This program leverages resources across DOE’s applied research offices to invest in fundamental science, research, development, initial pilot-scale demonstrations projects, and technical assistance and workforce development.
The Notice of Funding Opportunity solicits applications from Tribes, states, territories, local governments/educational agencies, and nonprofit organizations to enable more low-income, disadvantaged, and Tribal kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) schools and/or school districts across rural, suburban, and/or urban areas to monitor and reduce GHG emissions and indoor air pollutants through the development and adoption of comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) management plans consistent with EPA’s IAQ Tools for Schools Action Kit and Framework, Energy Savings Plus Health Guidance, Preventive Maintenance Guidance, and other EPA recommended IAQ best practices.
The EPA is soliciting applications from eligible entities to establish and maintain regional Centers of Excellence for new and emerging stormwater control infrastructure technologies, with the goal of improving the effectiveness, cost efficiency, and protection of public safety and water quality. The EPA is also soliciting applications from eligible entities to create and maintain a national electronic clearinghouse to centrally collect and distribute the work of the Centers of Excellence. For the purposes of this announcement, “regional” or “geographical region” means consisting of two or more states.
U.S. Mission Mexico’s PDS invites proposals for programs that strengthen cultural ties and mutual understanding between the U.S. and Mexico through cultural, economic, educational, professional, and exchange programming that highlights shared values and promotes bilateral cooperation. All programs must include a U.S. cultural element, or connection with U.S. expert/s, organization/s, or institution/s in a specific field that will promote increased understanding of U.S. policies and perspectives. Programs that include multiple states and/or promote increased collaboration and networking between USG program alumni are encouraged.
Examples of PD Small Grants Program programs include, but are not limited to:
· Academic and professional lectures, seminars, and speaker programs;
· Artistic, cultural, educational, and sports workshops, joint performances, clinics, and exhibitions;
· Cultural heritage conservation and preservation programs;
· Professional and academic exchanges and programs; and
· Promotion of entrepreneurship for indigenous and Afro-Mexican community programs.
