Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ANA NR 1344
The Environmental Regulatory Enhancement (ERE) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACF-ANA-NR-1344) was offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families, Administration for Native Americans (ANA). It was a discretionary grant program made available in Fiscal Year 2018 to support community-based projects that strengthen how tribal governments and related Native organizations regulate and protect environmental quality. In practical terms, the program was designed to help tribes build or improve their environmental regulatory capacity so they can more effectively carry out responsibilities aligned with both federal environmental requirements and their own tribal environmental laws and policies.
Funding under ERE was intended to cover the costs associated with planning, developing, and implementing environmental regulatory programs. That includes foundational work such as designing regulatory frameworks, developing codes and procedures, establishing enforcement and compliance processes, improving administrative and technical capacity, and putting in place the program structures needed for long-term environmental governance. The overall emphasis is not on one-time cleanups or isolated projects, but on building durable systems that allow tribal governing bodies to regulate environmental quality more consistently and effectively.
Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also noted an “Others” category, with the expectation that applicants would consult the opportunity’s additional eligibility details for clarification on what entities may qualify under special circumstances.
The opportunity was posted on February 6, 2018, with applications originally due on April 9, 2018. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The maximum award amount (ceiling) was $300,000, and the agency anticipated making approximately two awards.
