With this solicitation, BJS seeks to provide additional funding to conduct additional development and methodological work in support of the statistical procedures used to generate national estimates of crime based on the FBIs NIBRS. The first set of national estimates based on this new methodology was released in September 2022, marking the first time that NIBRS data will be the sole source of information on crimes known to law enforcement in the United States. This development and methods work will consist of system maintenance activities, additional estimation development, and assessment of data on indicators not included in the Year One estimates.

With this solicitation, BJA seeks to fund three training and technical assistance (TTA) providers to support grantees selected through a companion solicitation titled BJA FY 2024 Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) Formula Solicitation. The companion solicitation provides funding to states and subrecipients for the creation and/or implementation of state crisis intervention court proceedings, extreme risk protection order (ERPO) programs, and related gun violence reduction programs/initiatives. These programs can include efforts to leverage the capacity and expand the scope of existing problem-solving courts, such as drug courts, mental health courts, and veterans treatment courts, to assess the risks and needs of persons with gun offenses and provide research-driven approaches to address their underlying needs to prevent further violence. In addition, this TTA program will also support recipients of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program, as the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022 modified the JAG program statute to include a program area for the implementation of state crisis intervention court proceedings and related programs or initiatives including, but not limited to, mental health courts, drug courts, veterans courts, and extreme risk protection order programs, and it added a reporting and evaluation component for grants awarded for crisis intervention programs or initiatives.

Note: The U.S. Embassy expects to receive funding for the TSCTP/CVE-WLP program before September 30, 2024. Grant awards are contingent on the receipt of funding. If the program is not approved, no grants will be awarded under this call.

The Savannah Harbor DMCAs are located in Jasper County, South Carolina. Pre-construction baseline sampling efforts entailed data collection, integration, and analysis of avian blood/tissue of birds in DMCAs 12A. 13A, 13B, 14A, and 14B (see below). Subsequent during and post-construction sampling efforts have been concentrated in DMCA 14A, the disposal area that received the Cd-laden sediments. Sampling also may occur in adjacent DMCAs 13B and 14B when construction prohibits sampling or bird abundance is low in 14A. The general objectives of the project are: Objective 1: Conduct field work to collect avian blood and tissue samples of target species from the approved DMCAs during the post-construction period, during the placement of the cap/cover, and potentially for three years after the placement is complete. Blood and tissue samples may be collected using either live capture or by lethal collection (with permit), depending on the bird species. Target species have been changed over time due to lack of abundance or difficulty in trapping certain species. Current target species and sampling methodology can be found in the most recent progress and annual reports from the SHEP monitoring website http://www.shep.uga.edu/. Changes in target species must be approved by USACE. Objective 2: Conduct chemical analysis. Biological samples (e.g., blood, tissues) will be analyzed for cadmium as well as a suite of other metals (arsenic, chromium, copper, lead, selenium, zinc). Objective 3: Prepare quarterly progress reports, and annual reports to include documentation of methods, software (if applicable), and analyses conducted throughout the duration of the work based on the federal fiscal calendar year (October 1 to September 30). The recipient/awardee may be asked to present research findings and monitoring results to the natural resource agencies and/or the public. The recipient/awardee must attend the annual SHEP stakeholder meeting and present the previous years monitoring results. D. Public Benefit: The Savannah Harbor DMCAs contain upland and aquatic habitats and are also bound by salt marsh and riverine habitats. As a result, these habitat areas attract a wide range of avifauna, and thus deposition of the dredged material may be a potential contaminant exposure route for birds. There are several protected bird species popular among the public and bird enthusiasts such as bald eagles, least terns, and wood storks that use the DMCAs for foraging/feeding and nesting habitat. Monitoring data results will be used to document any potential long- or short-term SHEP impacts to these protected species as well as other bird species. The DMCAs also serve as host sites for tour groups from both the National Audubon and Georgia Ornithological Societies. Also, a web portal has been established which will increase public awareness regarding monitoring and management plans in response to the physical, chemical, and biological impacts from the SHEP. The current interactive website is accessible to the public and frequently visited.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit input for potential future ARPA-E research programs focused on innovative technologies and approaches for resource exploration, discovery, appraisal, mining, and processing of critical minerals. Goals of the potential programs could include: Increased recovery rates of critical minerals; Minimized hazardous mine tailings; Reduced energy consumption from any/all stages of mineral development; Minimal carbon emissions from any/all stages of mineral development; Minimal aquifer and hydrological disturbance on the mining sites; Rapid data development/use for permitting and mine planning from governments and local communities; Autonomous operation in remote environments; and Increased access to deeper, more diffuse, hotter, lower grade resources. The domestic supply of critical minerals in the United States (U.S.) has been a national security and economic concern since the U.S. Critical Minerals Stockpiling Act was enacted in 1939. However, the capacity for U.S. mineral resource exploration and mining has been significantly reduced over the last several decades and the U.S. has become increasingly dependent on the international supply of critical minerals. Critical minerals such as nickel, copper, cobalt, lithium, rare earth elements, and platinum-group elements are key ingredients in many advanced technologies. Uses for these critical metals include computers and information services, defense industry applications, batteries for electric vehicles, and other clean energy industry technologies. The transition from fossil fuels to clean energy will depend on the extensive supplies of critical minerals for the products related to energy production, storage, and use. As a result, the annual demand for critical minerals is increasing rapidly. For example, nickel demand from the electric vehicle sector is expected to grow globally from 92 kilotons in 2020 to 2.6 megatons in 2040. With the combination of high demand due to rapid technological advancements and uncertain supply due to geopolitical risks, the U.S. domestic mineral supply is increasingly insufficient to support the transition from fossil fuels to renewable, clean energy sources. Further exacerbating the issue is that the current global mineral supply cannot support the U.S. transition to 100% electrification. Consequently, to meet the supply and demand, the U.S. could look towards the extraction of critical minerals from both conventional and unconventional resources.
