Opportunity Summary:

The Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00054) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. The central purpose of the program is to expand and strengthen opportunities for Indian tribes to develop, manage, and protect their water resources. In practical terms, this grant is aimed at helping tribal communities improve the way they plan for, govern, and safeguard water supplies and water-related infrastructure, while also supporting efforts that protect water quality and long-term water sustainability.

This funding opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and it used the standard grant funding instrument. The program was structured as a single-award competition, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The total estimated funding amount was $525,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also set at $525,000, indicating that the program anticipated making one grant in the full amount rather than multiple smaller awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility was limited to tribal entities, specifically Federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations other than Federally recognized tribal governments. This indicates the opportunity was intended to support a range of tribal governance and tribal organizational structures involved in water resources work, so long as they meet the eligibility definitions used in the notice.
