Opportunity Information: Apply for MBDA OBD 2021 2006916
The "2021 Fiscal Year Broad Agency Announcement American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Project" is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, administered through the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). The announcement invites applicants to propose special projects and programs that support business growth and economic development specifically within American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian (AIANNH) communities. In practical terms, MBDA is looking for projects that clearly connect to its strategic plans and mission goals, meaning proposals should focus on measurable outcomes that strengthen minority business enterprises and improve economic opportunities in AIANNH populations.
This opportunity is structured as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), which generally signals that the agency expects a range of project ideas rather than a single narrowly defined program model. Along with requesting applications, the notice also lays out how MBDA plans to evaluate submissions and how it will administer any awards made under this competition. That includes providing public-facing guidance on the selection process, what kinds of activities are responsive to MBDA priorities, and the expectations that come with receiving discretionary federal assistance.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number MBDA OBD 2021 2006916 and the assistance listing (CFDA) number 11.804. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized under "Environment, Natural Resources, Science and Technology and other Research and Development," suggesting MBDA is open to proposals that may intersect with innovation, technical assistance, or applied research and development approaches tied to economic and business outcomes, even if the core purpose remains business development in AIANNH communities.
The posted timeline indicates the opportunity was created on May 27, 2021, with an original application deadline of June 30, 2021. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $300,000, and MBDA anticipated making about 13 awards. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement; this typically means interested organizations need to consult the detailed eligibility language in the official notice to confirm whether they qualify (for example, certain nonprofits, tribal entities, educational institutions, or other organizations may be eligible depending on the terms MBDA set for this competition).
Overall, the grant is designed to fund a set of competitively selected projects that can demonstrate a strong alignment with MBDA's mission and a clear benefit to AIANNH business communities, with MBDA providing both the framework for applying and the criteria it will use to select and manage funded proposals.Apply for MBDA OBD 2021 2006916
