Eligibility is listed very broadly, spanning governments, tribal entities, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, institutions of higher education, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations. The Year 1 award ceiling is listed as zero, though CDC anticipates roughly $10,000,000 total for Year 1 subject to available funds.

Eligibility includes domestic non-profit and non-governmental organizations, educational institutions, for-profit organizations, and U.S. federal government entities, but organizations must be based in the U.S. Awards run up to roughly $4 million.

Awards are expected to range from $50,000 to $200,000, and proposals under $50,000 will not be accepted.

Eligibility is narrowly limited to Urban Indian Organizations and certain co-signers of the Alaska Tribal Health Compact that provide health services to AI/AN people in urban centers.

Awards range from about $250,000 to $5 million. Applicants must already have access to a network of producers to recruit, which narrows who can realistically apply.

Natural Resources Conservation Service · $250K–$2M
