Military Installation Resilience Program Grant Proposal

PROPOSAL AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION

1. Submission of a Proposal

Funding will be awarded to only one governmental entity on behalf of a region per installation. Therefore, proposals on the behalf of a multi-jurisdictional region should demonstrate a significant level of cooperation in their proposal. Additionally, the local military installation must agree with the applicant’s determinations regarding the existence of the current, future, or potential threat to local military installation resilience and to work with and support the local effort.

There exists possible overlap with the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation’s Compatible Use Program. Respondents are encouraged to review the Program Information provided under Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance listing 12.610 (Community Economic Adjustment Assistance for Compatible Use and Joint Land Use Studies). Applicants should submit a single response to either the Installation Resilience or Compatible Use Federal Funding Opportunity notice (Federal Register Vol. 84, No. 150, 5 Aug. 19), depending on whichever program area responds to the predominant concerns. Based on the submission content, the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation may redirect the respondent to submit their proposal under an alternative Federal Funding Opportunity notice.

Proposals may be submitted electronically via email to: [email protected] with a courtesy copy to the contact listed in Section G. of this notice. Include “Community Economic Adjustment and Diversification Assistance for Responding to Threats to the Resilience of a Military Installation” on the subject line of the message and request delivery/read confirmation to ensure receipt.

Proposals may also be mailed or hand-delivered to:

Director

Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation

2231 Crystal Drive, Suite 520

Arlington, VA 22202-3711

Proposals will be accepted as received on a continuing basis commencing on the date of this publication in the Federal Register and processed when deemed to be a final, complete proposal.
