Eligible applicants are non-federal entities such as local governments, hospitals/health centers, institutions of higher education, and non-profit organizations benefiting the seven insular areas. Proposals should address priorities such as invasive species management, native species restoration, coral reef protection, and watershed management. Past performance, financial capabilities, and compliance history will be considered in the merit review and selection process. The application deadline is March 12, 2025.
The total program funding is estimated at $2,625,000 with an expected 10 awards up to $300,000 each. There is no cost sharing requirement. Awards will be made by September 30, 2025 under the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories grant program (CFDA 15.875) administered by the Department of the Interior. The places of performance are expected to be concentrated in the U.S. territories and Freely Associated States.
