Federal Funding Opportunities
The Energy Future Grants (EFG) provides financial assistance to support local, state, and tribal government-led partnership efforts that will advance clean energy program innovation. EFG seeks to enhance energy affordable and access for communities, ensuring the broad benefits of a clean energy economy—including heath, economic development and jobs and emissions reductions—flow to disadvantaged communities.
With funding provided from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Section 40302, the Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants program will help offset 50% of the costs to states, local governments, and public utilities or agencies to procure and use products developed through the conversion of captured carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emissions. The commercial or industrial products to be procured and used under these grants must demonstrate a significant net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to incumbent products via a life cycle analysis (LCA).
The Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) program was established to provide grants to eligible public sector agencies to conduct demonstration projects focused on advanced smart community technologies and systems in order to improve transportation efficiency and safety. The purpose of this notice is to solicit applications for Stage 1 Planning and Prototyping applications for demonstration projects focused on advanced smart city or community technologies and systems to improve transportation efficiency and safety.
To address these diesel emissions and protect public health and air quality, authorized under Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA), this funding opportunity provides assistance to accelerate the upgrade, retrofit, and turnover of the legacy diesel fleet.
The goals of the Support for Trauma-Affected Refugees (STAR) Program are the integration and successful achievement of sustained physical, social, emotional, and economic well-being of those underserved refugees and other newcomers eligible for Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) services (hereafter referred to as “newcomers” for simplicity) whose experience of trauma is impeding their ability to function effectively at home, school, work or in social settings. Using STAR funds, recipients will provide eligible newcomers with holistic and integrated case management services, including health, psychological, and social adjustment services directly. Through project-related activities, recipients will simultaneously enhance their capacity to serve such populations.
