Opportunity Information: Apply for BIA 0000 18 0001
The Program to Support Tribal Resilience and Ocean and Coastal Management and Planning is a competitive grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), through the Office of Trust Services and its Tribal Resilience Program. The overall purpose is to fund projects led by tribal not-for-profit entities and tribal non-governmental organizations or associations that help tribes strengthen resilience to extreme events and longer-term environmental changes, particularly where those changes threaten tribal treaty and trust resources, local economies, critical infrastructure, and the health and safety of tribal communities. A major emphasis of the program is helping tribes plan for ocean and coastal management challenges while using both scientific and technical information and tribally grounded knowledge systems, including Traditional Knowledge, to inform practical planning and preparedness.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency may have an ongoing role in the project beyond simply issuing an award (for example, coordination, technical involvement, or other collaboration consistent with cooperative agreement rules). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the environment activity area under CFDA number 15.156. Awards under this solicitation were expected to support roughly 20 projects, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per project, indicating the program is aimed at targeted planning efforts, assessments, and resilience-building activities rather than large-scale construction or major capital investments. While the short notice does not list every eligible applicant type, it clearly states that the intended applicants include tribal not-for-profit and tribal NGO organizations and associations, with further detail referenced in the full announcement.
The solicitation specifically supports projects that improve tribal readiness for extreme events (such as storms, flooding, coastal erosion, or other climate-related hazards) and for harmful environmental trends that can build over time (such as sea level rise, changing ocean conditions, habitat loss, or other stressors affecting coastal and marine resources). The intent is to strengthen the capacity of tribes to carry out resilience and ocean/coastal management planning that is informed by credible data and tribally relevant knowledge, so decisions about adaptation, risk reduction, natural resource protection, and community safety can be made earlier and with better information. In practice, this can include efforts like vulnerability assessments, resilience or adaptation plans, ocean/coastal management strategies, and other planning products that help tribes anticipate impacts and prioritize actions to protect resources and people.
Applications are evaluated competitively. BIA indicated it would use review criteria described in Section E of the full notice (Categories of Funding, Review Criteria and Evaluation) to score proposals and select projects for funding, so applicants were expected to follow the formal proposal instructions carefully and align their project narratives, work plans, and budgets with the stated evaluation factors. The announcement also emphasizes that full instructions for submission were located in the complete announcement under the "Related Documents" section, signaling that required forms, formatting, narrative components, and submission steps were contained there.
The solicitation had a firm submission deadline: proposals had to be received no later than 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on July 2, 2018, with the notice stressing that late submissions would not be accepted. Administrative details included the funding opportunity number BIA-0000-18-0001 and a creation date of May 21, 2018. Although the source data also lists an "OriginalClosingDate" of May 2, 2020, the narrative portion of the solicitation clearly identifies July 2, 2018 at 5:00 PM EST as the closing date and time for proposals under this announcement, so the controlling deadline for applicants was the July 2018 cutoff stated in the solicitation text.Apply for BIA 0000 18 0001
