Funding Wizard

 LIHEAP is a federally funded program aimed to assist low-income households that pay a high portion of their income to meet their energy needs. LIHEAP is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Community Services.

There are several portions of the program that help accomplish this goal, such as:

• The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) provides one-time financial assistance to help balance an eligible household's utility bill.
• The Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) provides assistance to low-income households that are in a crisis situation. Such an example would be a household receiving a 24-48 hour disconnect notice or service termination by their utility company. Another example would be a household facing an energy-related crisis that could be deemed potentially life-threatening in the household, such as a combustible appliance.
• LIHEAP Weatherization provides free energy efficiency upgrades to low-income households to lower their monthly utility bills while also improving the health and safety of the household's occupants.  
• Education on basic energy efficiency practices and instruction on the proper use and maintenance of installed weatherization measures.
• Energy budget counseling. 

TheElectronics, Photonics and Magnetic Devices (EPMD) Programsupports innovative research on novel devices based on the principles of electronics, optics and photonics, optoelectronics, magnetics, opto- and electromechanics, electromagnetics, and related physical phenomena. EPMD’s goal is to advance the frontiers of micro-, nano- and quantum-based devices operating within the electromagnetic spectrum and contributing to a broad range of application domains including information and communications, imaging and sensing, healthcare, Internet of Things, energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing. The program encourages research based on emerging technologies for miniaturization, integration, and energy efficiency as well as novel material-based devices with new functionalities, improved efficiency, flexibility, tunability, wearability, and enhanced reliability.

FEDERAL AWARD INFORMATION Length of performance period: Up to 12 months Number of awards anticipated: 2 or 3 awards (dependent on amounts) Award amounts: awards may range from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum of $12,500 Total available funding: $25,000 Type of Funding: Fiscal Year 2023 Public Diplomacy Funding Anticipated program start date: From July/August 2023 This notice is subject to availability of funding. Funding Instrument Type: Grant, Fixed Amount Award, or Cooperative agreement. Cooperative agreements are different from grants in that PDS staff are more actively involved in the grant implementation. Program Performance Period: Proposed programs should be completed in two years or less. PDS will entertain applications for continuation grants funded under these awards beyond the initial budget period on a non-competitive basis subject to availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the program, and a determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the U.S. Department of State.

Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology supports innovative research that advances understanding of the deep-time sedimentarycrust and investigates environmental change and evolution of the biosphere through the pre-Holocene geologic record. The program seeks to fundprojects that focus on: (1) the evolution of life, ecology, environments, and biogeography based on the study of fossils, sediments and/or geochemical proxies; (2) geological processes forming and shaping the Earth's sedimentary lithosphere –including the study of mechanisms leading to rich organic and inorganic resources locked in rock sequences; (3) new geochronological projects aiming to measuretherate andsequenceofeventsofpre-Holocenesedimentary and biological (fossil) processes; and (4) the production, transportation,anddepositionofphysical, bioclasticandchemicalsediments of the geologic record.Projects that are focused on the study of modern and/or Holocene sedimentary, geochemical and/or biological samples should clearly address how the project will lead to understanding of deep-time (pre-Holocene) geological, environmental, and biological (fossil) processes.

Executive Summary: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Farm Service Agency (FSA), requests applications for the National Organic Certification Cost Share Program (NOCCSP) and the Agricultural Management Assistance (AMA) Organic Certification Cost Share Program, collectively referred to as the OCCSP, for fiscal year (FY) 2022. The purpose of the OCCSP awards is to defray the costs of receiving and maintaining organic certification.In FY 2022, the available funding for these two programs is approximately $7 million for the NOCCSP and $943,000 for the AMA. FSA awards the OCCSP funds to eligible State Agencies* that serve as administering entities, to reimburse organic operations for specific organic certification costs.This is the initial request for applications, which outlines the eligibility and performance criteria for State Agencies seeking NOCCSP and AMA funding in FY 2022. For eligible certification costs incurred from October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022, organic operations may request reimbursement until November 1, 2022, unless the State Agency requests and receives approval for a different application deadline. The State Agencies may provide reimbursements to certified organic operators for 50% of the operation’s total allowable certification costs, up to a maximum of $500 per certification scope: crops, livestock, wild crops, handling (i.e., processing), and State Organic Program fees. If additional funding is authorized for FY 2022, FSA and State Agencies may amend the FY 2022 grant agreements to provide additional funds and increase the payment amounts for certified operations.

The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) provides incentive grants for cleaner-than-required engines, equipment, and other sources of pollution providing early or extra emission reductions. Eligible projects include cleaner on-road, marine, and agricultural sources. Projects may include engine re-powers, the purchase of new vehicles using alternative fuels, and engine retrofit devices approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The District implements the program from funding received from CARB.

For proposals to receive consideration, applicants must submit all materials to AFCP@state.gov. The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State (the Bureau) and the U.S. Embassy to Ukraine announce an open competition for organizations to submit proposals for funding through the Bureau’s U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation – Ukraine Response (AFCP-UR) to carry out urgent projects to preserve and protect cultural heritage in Ukraine impacted by Russia’s unjust and unprovoked war of aggression. The overall intent of this program is to safeguard prominent examples of Ukraine’s cultural heritage. It will support the following activities: Assessment and documentation of risk and damage to cultural heritage sites, objects, and collections. Protection of cultural heritage sites, objects, and collections from theft, damage, or further damage. Stabilization or temporary repair of damaged cultural heritage sites, objects, and collections. Recovery or conservation of cultural heritage objects and collections as conditions allow. Recovery, restoration, or reconstruction of damaged cultural heritage sites as conditions allow. AFCP-UR will support projects in the following two categories: 1) Site-Specific Projects, and 2) Regional Assessment and Rapid Response Projects. Eligible applicants may submit multiple applications and may apply to one or both project categories. Site-Specific Projects: For these projects, an applicant shall carry out protection and stabilization activities at a specific site or for a specific collection. It is expected that an initial damage assessment has already been conducted and can form the basis of a project proposal. Regional Assessment and Rapid Repair Projects: For these projects, an applicant shall identify a geographic area in Ukraine, conduct risk and damage assessments in that area, and prioritize and implement response and recovery activities. Refer to the Application Instructions (PDF) under Related Documents for additional information on eligible activities, and application submission details. For proposals to receive consideration, applicants must submit all materials to AFCP@state.gov.
