EDA Indigenous Communities Information Collection Instrument

To effectively administer and monitor its economic development assistance programs, EDA collects certain information from applications for, and recipients of, EDA investment assistance. Under the EDA American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act Statewide Planning, Research, and Networks, and Economic Development Research and Evaluation (R&E) and National Technical Assistance (NTA) programs, award recipients are required to submit identified program metrics and information to ensure that EDA development investments made in Indigenous communities are evidence-based and data-driven, and accountable to participants and the public. EDA will require information from EDA applicants of projects that are Indigenous or Indigenous serving from 2019-2023. This collection instrument will provide more granular information on the progress, obstacles, and lessons learned from the ongoing projects. The data collected, and the tools created will help inform economic development practices at EDA, paving the way for future programming.
