Opportunity Summary:
Environmental Regulatory Enhancement (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACF ANA NR 0777) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). The funding was made available using Fiscal Year 2015 funds and is designed to support community-based projects that help Native communities build stronger environmental regulatory capacity. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on helping tribes improve how they identify environmental needs, plan workable approaches, develop regulatory or programmatic solutions, and then carry those solutions through to implementation.
The core goal of the program is capacity building for tribal governments and tribal organizations so they can better regulate and manage environmental quality in ways that match their own priorities. A central theme is alignment with tribal cultural preservation and natural resource management values, meaning the work supported by the grant is expected to reinforce, not replace, tribally driven approaches to protecting land, water, wildlife, and other natural and cultural resources. The program definition of eligible Native communities is broad and includes American Indian tribes that are federally recognized as well as those that are not federally recognized, along with Alaska Native communities.
This opportunity was categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and it is tied to CFDA 93.581, titled "Improving the Capability of Indian Tribal Governments to Regulate Environmental Quality." The announcement anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $750,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $100,000 (award floor) and $300,000 (award ceiling), indicating the program was structured to fund a small number of moderately sized projects rather than many small mini-grants.
Cost sharing or matching was required, which means applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost as described in the full funding opportunity announcement. The eligibility information emphasizes that eligible applicants include federally recognized tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, and additional entities as clarified in the FOA text. At the same time, the program explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this announcement.
Key dates associated with the posting show the FOA was posted on February 14, 2014, with an original closing date of April 15, 2014, and a later current closing date listed as March 4, 2015. For electronic submissions, applications were required to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the applicable due date. The archive date was April 3, 2015, indicating when the opportunity was formally closed and archived in the system.
