Grants for City or township governments - Federal

UPDATED NOTICE - PLEASE READ: April 6, 2023 EDA is excited to announce the launch of its new grants management platform: the Economic Development Grants Experience (EDGE). EDGE was developed to streamline the application and grants management process by implementing a single platform with increased transparency, improved user experience, higher data quality, and more efficiency throughout the entire grant lifecycle. As of April 6th, 2023, applications can no longer be submitted on Grants.gov, and will ONLY be accepted through EDGE. To apply in EDGE, please go to: sfgrants.eda.gov. More information on how to apply is provided in the full NOFO. Please note that the above does not apply for Partnership Planning applications. For more information, please reach out to your point of contact. Program Description: EDA makes planning and local technical assistance investments to support economic development, foster job creation, and attract private investment in economically distressed areas of the United States. Under the Planning program, EDA makes Partnership Planning, Short-Term Planning, and State Planning awards to eligible recipients to create and implement regional economic development plans designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of an area or region. More specifically, EDA makes Partnership Planning investments to designated planning organizations (i.e., District Organizations) serving EDA-designated Economic Development Districts and to Indian Tribes to facilitate the development, implementation, revision, or replacement of Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS), which articulate and prioritize the strategic economic goals of recipients respective regions. EDA also makes Short-Term and State Planning awards for economic development planning activities that guide the eventual creation and retention of high-quality jobs, particularly for the unemployed and underemployed in the Nations most economically distressed regions. Under the Local Technical Assistance program, EDA makes awards to strengthen the capacity of local or State organizations, institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities to undertake and promote effective economic development programs through projects such as feasibility studies, impact analyses, disaster resiliency plans, and project planning. *Please note: While the published Notice of Funding Opportunity (available under "Related Documents") states that the ED900A form and the SF424B form are both required for a complete application, these forms are no longer required and have therefore been removed from the package template.

The Silicon Carbide (SiC) Packaging Prize, a three-phase competition launched by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Electricity, aims to accelerate the development of state-of-the-art SiC packaging prototypes. This initiative aligns with the DOE's mission to advance energy technologies and strengthen grid-based applications. The program's core objective is to push the industry beyond its current limitations in semiconductor packaging, specifically targeting the expansion of SiC power module capabilities to handle higher voltage and current. By fostering innovation in SiC packaging, the DOE seeks to enable more efficient and robust high-performance power electronics for future grid applications. The target beneficiaries of this prize are private entities (for-profits and nonprofits), nonfederal government entities (states, counties, tribes, and municipalities), academic institutions, and individuals based in the United States. The impact goal is to develop 10-kV, 2,000-A rated SiC power modules, addressing existing challenges such as parasitic inductance and heat dissipation that limit the performance of current SiC power modules. The program prioritizes solutions related to the SiC semiconductor packaging industry, with the majority of activities performed in the U.S. and benefiting the U.S. market. It seeks innovations that move the industry forward, are based on fundamental technical principles, and demonstrate a clear intent for commercialization and the establishment of viable U.S.-based businesses. The competition is structured into three phases, each with specific focuses and expected outcomes. Phase 1, "Design Study," requires competitors to describe their teams, plans, and current prototypes, with the goal of developing design documents for a Phase 2 prototype. Phase 2, "Initial Demonstration," will see winners from Phase 1 showcasing advancements in packaging solutions, aiming for progress towards Phase 2 performance metrics and innovation beyond the state-of-the-art. Finally, Phase 3, "Final Demonstration," focuses on achieving high voltage and high current targets for SiC modules, demonstrating significant improvements in packaging solutions and creating transformative technologies. Measurable results are tied to the prize structure, with financial incentives at each phase. Phase 1 offers up to 10 winners $50,000 each, Phase 2 provides up to 4 winners $250,000 each, and Phase 3 culminates with up to 1 winner receiving $750,000. These prizes incentivize progress towards the ultimate goal of developing advanced SiC power modules, with the program's strategic priority being the commercialization of early-stage technology and the growth of U.S.-based businesses. The theory of change behind this prize is that by fostering competition and providing financial support, the DOE can stimulate rapid innovation in a critical technology area, thereby improving grid reliability and performance while bolstering domestic manufacturing capabilities.
