Opportunity Summary:
The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EBV 2013 01) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) intended to strengthen and expand entrepreneurship training for post-9/11 service-disabled veterans, particularly those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rather than creating brand-new training programs from scratch, the announcement focuses on providing administrative funding to public or private institutions that already operate an EBV program and want to build their capacity to reach more eligible veterans and improve program delivery through stronger outreach and institutional collaboration.
At its core, the opportunity supports two main goals. First, it aims to help institutions improve how they market and promote their existing EBV offerings so that more post-9/11 service-disabled veterans learn about the program and can enroll. Second, it encourages applicants to expand and strengthen the EBV consortium, described as a network of world-class, four-year colleges and universities that provide entrepreneurship education and training tailored to service-disabled veterans. The emphasis on a consortium signals an interest in coordinated, high-quality programming across multiple institutions, leveraging university-level resources and expertise to support veteran entrepreneurship.
The SBA planned to make an estimated 25 awards under this opportunity, using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. Cooperative agreements typically indicate that the funding agency expects to have some level of ongoing involvement or collaboration during the project period, beyond what is common in a standard grant. The total estimated funding available was $450,000, with individual awards ranging from a floor of $25,000 to a ceiling of $150,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which can lower barriers for institutions that may not have substantial non-federal funds to contribute.
The funding falls under the Business and Commerce activity category and is tied to CFDA number 59.044, Veterans Outreach Program. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others" with direction to consult the full synopsis and additional eligibility details in the complete announcement, implying that the SBA expected applicants to confirm specific institutional qualifications and program alignment requirements before applying. The announcement was posted on October 22, 2012, and had an application deadline of November 22, 2012, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, with an archive date of December 22, 2012, indicating it was a time-limited competition subject to the availability of funds.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement or clarifying administrative questions, the listed SBA grants management contact was David De Leva, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 202-205-7051 or by email at david.deleva@sba.gov.
