Funding Opportunity Description. A. Program Objective Coral reefs and associated seagrass and mangrove communities are among the most complex and diverse ecosystems on earth. They support important fishing and tourism industries, protect coasts from wave and storm damage, build tropical islands, contain an array of potential pharmaceuticals, and provide essential services like food security, livelihood, and culture, among other benefits. As shallow-water, near shore communities, coral reef ecosystems are ecologically linked to adjacent watersheds and are highly vulnerable to human activity. Stresses in the coral reef environment include poor water quality from runoff and inadequate sewage treatment, sedimentation, destructive fishing practices, recreational overuse and misuse, and impacts from climate change, including changes in ocean chemistry. To address these and other threats, Congress passed the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000 (Act), which established the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) and provided guidance for allocation of Federal funding toward efforts to conserve coral reef ecosystems in the United States (U.S.) and internationally. As described in the Act, one of the primary functions of the CRCP is to provide financial assistance to external partners for coral reef conservation projects consistent with the Act and the CRCP priorities. In 2018, the CRCP established the new NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan-2018), which uses a resilience- based management approach, focused on conservation that supports the ability of corals to withstand and recover from stress. The Strategic Plan-2018 focuses efforts on four areas of work (or pillars): improving fisheries sustainability, reducing land-based sources of pollution, increasing resilience to climate change impacts, and restoring viable coral populations. A copy of the Strategic Plan-2018 is available at xxxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxxx.xxx/activities/strategic_plan2018/. NOAA also issued Coral Reef Conservation Grant Program Implementation Guidelines, most recently published at 75 Fed. Reg. 48934 (Aug. 12, 2010) and available at xxxx://xx.xxx.xxx/3FT7z. The most recent Guidelines cover 2010-2015, but their approach remains generally in effect until further notice unless otherwise stated in a NOAA CRCP funding announcement posted on Xxxxxx.xxx. Please note that CRCP funding announcements are issued only on Xxxxxx.xxx, not in the Federal Register as stated in the Guidelines, and the Department o...
Funding Opportunity Description. Program Overview and Priorities The FY 2012 HSGP is comprised of three interconnected grant programs: • State Homeland Security Program (SHSP): SHSP supports the implementation of State Homeland Security Strategies to address the identified planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events. • Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI): The UASI program addresses the unique planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high- threat, high-density Urban Areas, and assists them in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. • Operation Stonegarden (OPSG): OPSG supports enhanced cooperation and coordination among local, tribal, territorial, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies in a joint mission to secure the United States’ borders along routes of ingress from international borders to include travel corridors in States bordering Mexico and Canada, as well as States and territories with international water borders. Although no longer funded as discrete grant programs, all activities and costs allowed under the FY 2010 Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP), FY 2010 Interoperable Emergency Communications Grant Program (IECGP), FY 2011 Citizen Corps Program (CCP), FY 2011 Driver’s License Security Grant Program (DLSGP), and FY 2011 Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) grant program are allowable and encouraged activities and costs under the FY 2012 HSGP. For additional information on allowable activities under the aforementioned grant programs, please refer to xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/government/grant/nondisaster.shtm. Program Objectives The FY 2012 HSGP plays an important role in the implementation of Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) by supporting the development and sustainment of core capabilities. Core capabilities are essential for the execution of each of the five mission areas outlined in the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). The development and sustainment of these core capabilities are not exclusive to any single level of government or organization, but rather require the combined effort of the whole community. The FY 2012 HSGP supports all core capabilities in the Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery mission areas based on allowable costs. Examples of tangible outcomes from FY 2012 HSGP...

Funding Opportunity Description. A. PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Funding Opportunity Description. 1. Purpose This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) provides States, the District of Columbia, and consortia of States with financial assistance for the establishment of State-operated health insurance Exchanges (Exchanges). States may choose whether to apply for Level One Establishment or Level Two Establishment based on their progress. States can also choose at what point to apply for grant funding based on their own needs and planned expenditures. Throughout this announcement, States, the District of Columbia, and consortia of States will all be referred to as ―State(s).‖ If there are any activities that are distinct for the District of Columbia or consortia, these will be identified separately. This cooperative agreement funding opportunity is designed to give States multiple opportunities to apply for funding as they progress through Exchange establishment, which helps support their progress toward the establishment of an Exchange. States may initially apply in this announcement for either Level One or Level Two Establishment grants. Level One Establishment grantees may reapply for another year of funding in the Level One Establishment category. Level One Establishment grantees may apply for Level Two Establishment awards once sufficient progress has been made in the initial Level One Establishment project period and they are able to satisfy the eligibility criteria for Level Two Establishment defined in Section III.1. On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148). On March 30, 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was signed into law. The two laws are collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act creates new competitive private health insurance markets – called ―Exchanges‖ – that will give millions of Americans and small businesses access to affordable coverage. Exchanges will help individuals and small employers shop for, select, and enroll in high-quality, affordable private health plans that fit their needs at competitive prices. Exchanges will also assist eligible individuals to receive premium tax credits and cost sharing reductions or help individuals enroll in other Federal or State health care programs. By providing one-stop shopping, Exchanges will make purchasing health insurance easier and more understandable and will put greater control and greater choice in the hands of individuals and small businesses. The Affordab...

Funding Opportunity Description. 317(k)(2) of the Public Health Service Act [42 USC 247b(k)(2), as amended]. § 4002 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), 2020 (P.L. 116-136) Background Historically, tribal public health systems have been separated from the larger US public health system, which has led to limited strategic partnerships with federal, state, and local partners; underdeveloped infrastructure; data access barriers; and diminished public health workforce. Tribal health systems provide public health services across the United States and are central to reducing health disparities in tribal nations. Building tribal public health infrastructure enhances Indian Country's capacity to prevent disease, promote health, and prepare for and respond to emerging threats and chronic challenges. This program will provide resources for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribal nations and regional AI/AN tribally designated organizations to optimize the quality and performance of tribal public health systems, including infrastructure, workforce, data and information systems, programs and services, resources and communication, and partnerships. Work in these areas will increase the capacity of Indian Country to identify, respond to, and mitigate public health threats and decrease burden of disease among AI/AN communities. This program's ultimate outcomes are: 1) decreased morbidity and mortality among AI/AN communities; 2) advanced capacity of Indian Country to identify, respond to, and mitigate public health threats; 3) improved capacity of the workforce to deliver essential public health services;
