About this program
The Office of the Secretary of Defense (CFDA 12.017) funds technical and implementation projects that prevent incompatible development near military installations and ranges, reduce regulatory restrictions on military operations, and increase installation resilience through cost-sharing cooperative agreements, with the most recent grant awarded on August 31, 2026.
The program sustains military readiness by protecting installation training access, avoiding land use conflicts in areas adjacent to installations, and reducing costly operational workarounds. Recent awards fund natural resource management and conservation activities including forest and watershed protection, flood mitigation, ecosystem restoration, climate resilience planning, and compatible-use buffer land acquisition near specific installations and ranges. The portfolio includes projects protecting Pearl Harbor and Pacific Missile Range Facility installations in Hawaii, Army installations at Camp Williams (Utah), Camp Roberts (California), and Camp San Luis Obispo (California), and Alaska Army installations.
The program operates exclusively through Cooperative Agreements; all 18 awards in the recent portfolio are structured this way. The Office of the Secretary of Defense dominates funding, obligating $163.8 million across 10 awards (75 percent of federal dollars). Three additional funders—DOD Washington Headquarters Service ($29.5 million, 1 award), Department of the Army National Guard Readiness Center ($16.3 million, 3 awards), and Department of the Army Installation Management Command Headquarters ($8.2 million, 4 awards)—account for the remainder. Combined federal dollars obligated total $217.8 million, with a non-federal cost-share of $4 million.
Award activity increased in 2026 (4 awards) after a lull in 2024–2025 (1 award each year) following higher activity in 2022–2023. Recent awards range from $950 thousand to $4.3 million; a mega-award to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for climate adaptation and landscape-scale ecosystem restoration obligated $129.1 million (September 2021). Performance periods extend 5 to 25 years.
One recent opportunity closed: Support Local Capacity with Counties to Enhance Military Readiness (Solicitation HQ003425NFOEASD09), due August 23, 2025, solicited Cooperative Agreements from other applicant types to build county partnerships around installations. Applications for REPI projects tied to specific installations should contact the relevant Military Service; national-level projects should contact osd.repi@mail.mil.
