Opportunity Summary:
The Workforce Innovation Fund (WIF) Grants opportunity was a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It made up to $53,000,000 available nationwide, with ETA expecting to fund roughly 8 to 15 projects (the source data also lists an expected 10 awards). Individual awards were designed to be substantial, ranging from a floor of $3,000,000 to a ceiling of $12,000,000. The program was cataloged under CFDA 17.283 (Workforce Innovation Fund) and did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
The central purpose of WIF was to invest in innovative approaches that would produce long-term improvements in the public workforce system, including better outcomes for job seekers and employers as well as stronger cost effectiveness. In practical terms, ETA was looking for projects that went beyond routine program operations and instead tested or implemented new methods that could measurably improve how workforce services perform. A defining feature of this opportunity was the emphasis on learning what works: every WIF-funded project was expected to be rigorously evaluated, with the intent of building credible evidence that could inform workforce development policy and practice more broadly.
Eligibility focused on core public workforce system entities and closely related organizations. Eligible applicants included (1) State Workforce Agencies, (2) Local Workforce Investment Boards, and (3) entities eligible to apply for Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Section 166 grants. Existing WIF grantees were allowed to apply again, but only if the proposed project was not an expansion of their current WIF work. Any new proposal from a current grantee had to be entirely separate from their existing WIF-funded project, rather than an add-on or continuation.
Administratively, this competition was posted on May 14, 2014, with an application deadline of June 18, 2014. Applications had to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was later archived on July 18, 2014. Questions or issues accessing the full announcement were directed to a grants management contact, Jeannette Flowers, listed as the Grants Management Specialist (email provided in the announcement).
