The Michigan Office of the Environmental Justice Public Advocate in the Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) offers the Environmental Justice (EJ) Impact Grant program. This program is designed to reduce environmental health burdens and impacts within Michigan’s Environmental Justice communities. The core mission of this grant aligns with the broader goal of promoting environmental equity and public health, particularly in areas disproportionately affected by environmental issues.

These priorities reflect a comprehensive approach to environmental justice, addressing both pollution and its direct impacts on community well-being. Expected outcomes include measurable improvements in public health through community projects, enhanced understanding of pollution levels via monitoring, better indoor air quality in schools, and the revitalization of environmentally degraded areas. The program has a total of $20,000,000 available, with a maximum of $500,000 per applicant. This substantial funding allows for significant, impactful projects. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Tribes, community-based non-profit organizations (including grassroots and frontline organizations), schools, institutions of higher education, and local governments, reflecting a strategic approach to engage diverse stakeholders in achieving environmental justice.

he DOE SC program in High Energy Physics (HEP) hereby announces its interest in receiving interdisciplinary applications for open scientific research on Quantum Information Science (QIS) Enabled Discovery (QuantISED) to further the HEP mission to understand how the universe works at its most fundamental level. Successful applications will help define an exploratory program where innovative solutions for scientific discovery are developed and deployed to advance HEP science drivers and contribute to QIS research and technology for public benefit.The QIS subprogram within HEP has been developed over the last few years with a series of workshops, followed by funding opportunities in 2018 and 2019, and is aligned with a broader SC initiative in QIS and coordinated with various national and interagency QIS programs, including the National QIS Research Centers. Cross-cutting the traditional frontiers and thrusts of the HEP program, the QIS subprogram exploits the interdisciplinary nature of QIS and associated partnerships for exploratory, early-stage research aimed at high impact discoveries aligned with HEP science goals, but also driving developments in foundational QIS and related scientific and technology research areas.Such research is intended to create public benefit within HEPs Congressionally-authorized mission space by increasing human understanding of the physical universe and driving relevant developments of advanced technologies that support that mission.
