Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Regulatory Enhancement grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 ACF ANA NR 0031) was a discretionary grant program offered by the Administration for Native Americans (ANA) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Funded under the Native American Programs Act (NAPA) of 1974, as amended, the program was designed to strengthen the ability of Tribal governments and other eligible Native entities to regulate and protect environmental quality.

For FY 2009, the program anticipated making about 10 awards with an estimated total funding level of $2,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $250,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet match expectations as specified in the full announcement. The program was categorized under “Income Security and Social Services,†and it was associated with CFDA 93.581, “Improving the Capability of Indian Tribal Governments to Regulate Environmental Quality,†reflecting its focus on strengthening governance systems and administrative capacity around environmental regulation.

Eligible applicants included Federally recognized Indian Tribes, incorporated non-federally recognized and state-recognized Tribes, Alaska Native Villages as defined in the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, and/or nonprofit village consortia. The eligibility list also included nonprofit Alaska Native Regional Corporations or Associations in Alaska when proposing village-specific projects, as well as other Tribal or Village organizations or consortia of Indian Tribes and Tribal governing bodies, including Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) governments or Traditional Councils recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
