Limiting Language
Applicants are only allowed to submit one proposal per organization. If more than one proposal is submitted from an organization, all proposals from that institution will be considered ineligible for funding.

Executive Summary 
Priority regions and thematic areas will be identified through consultation with DRL and may include: 
Illustrative Priority Regions: Global, with regional emphasis on priority areas such as: NEA (Yemen, Syria); WHA (Cuba, Haiti); EAP (DPRK, Burma); and Pacific Islands. 

Illustrative Priority Themes: atrocities, gross human rights violations, human rights abuses, transnational repression (TNR), restriction on civic space, technology-enabled repression, and other emerging DRL priorities.

This global program will support the documentation of human rights violations and abuses and transform this information into credible, actionable, policy-relevant data that can support U.S. and allied sanctions, visa restrictions, law enforcement, DRL’s annual Human Rights Reports, diplomatic engagement, and other accountability measures. By improving the volume, quality, accessibility, and analytical use of locally generated information that meets the evidentiary standards used by the United States and U.S. allies for human rights-based sanctions, visa restrictions, and other accountability tools, the program addresses critical gaps that limit the operational use of documentation efforts and enables burden‑sharing.

Executive Summary
The U.S. Department of State invites eligible organizations to submit proposals for innovative, high-visibility public education and civic-engagement programs in the United Kingdom that deepen public understanding of the shared Anglo-American common law tradition, and/or to commemorate the 70th anniversary in 2027 of the American Bar Association’s unveiling of the Magna Carta Memorial in Runnymede, UK that honors the foundation of the rule of law. Priority will be given to ambitious initiatives that connect foundational principles, such as freedom of speech, due process, trial by jury, limited government, rule of law, property rights, taxation by consent, and ordered liberty to contemporary civic life. 

Successful projects will combine scholarly depth with broad public accessibility through:

• Major symposia or symposium series, 
• Traveling or “pop-up” educational exhibitions, 
• Speaker exchanges, and 
• Viral digital outreach. 

The goal is to foster a sustained national conversation in the United Kingdom that reinforces the enduring transatlantic partnership and the shared civilizational values that underpin it.

Summary
Child welfare agencies continue to face challenges in recruiting and matching adoptive families for children awaiting permanency, due in part to outdated processes, limited data integration, and inconsistent access to effective tools. Most jurisdictions rely on static photo listing services, fragmented data systems, and manual caseworker knowledge to identify potential matches. While existing national recruitment resources provide important visibility for waiting children, there is a growing need for modern, technology-enabled approaches and tools that actively support caseworkers in timely, data-informed, and high-quality matching decisions. 

ACF will fund regional innovation hubs to design, implement, and evaluate human- centered technology-enabled solutions that improve adoptive family recruitment and matching. These solutions may include data-informed recruitment tools, AI-assisted matching, and predictive analytics to accelerate permanency for children in foster care. 

ACF expects to fund three regional innovation hubs—you must apply to the appropriate region: 

• Eastern Region. 
• Central Region. 
• Western Region. 

Innovation hubs will partner with pilot jurisdictions in their region to develop, deploy, and evaluate these tools; strengthen agency capacity; and support implementation through intensive technical assistance, training, and continuous quality improvement. Hubs will also disseminate tools, best practices, and lessons learned to jurisdictions across their region and collaborate nationally to promote shared learning.

For the purposes of this NOFO, pilot jurisdictions must be public child welfare agencies that administer Title IV-E foster care and adoption assistance programs at the state, territorial, tribal, or local level. 

If awarded, recipients will focus on the following activities: 

• Applied research, development, and testing of technology-enabled recruitment and matching solutions. 
• Training, coaching, and technical assistance to support implementation. 
• Advancement of interoperability and data standards. 
• Implementation of privacy, security, and safeguards. 
• Dissemination and knowledge sharing to support the broader field. 

To support effective implementation of all program activities, each innovation hub must establish and implement a robust performance measurement and continuous quality improvement (CQI) framework to assess progress, inform decision-making, and drive continuous improvement. 

Through these activities, the program aims to accelerate permanency, improve the quality and stability of adoptive placements, and strengthen the child welfare system’s ability to use data and technology to support children and families.

SelectUSA and the SelectUSA Investment Summit and programs are U.S. Department of Commerce-led initiatives that promote investment in the United States. 

This program will develop a cohort of 15 Jordan-based entrepreneurs working in U.S. priority sectors through a two-phase readiness program. The first phase consists of a 10-week training 3 program to enhance participants’ success in engaging with U.S. markets, including market entry strategies, business practices, partnership development, and overall commercial readiness. 

The second phase includes a three-week investment promotion visit to the United States for five of the entrepreneurs who succeed in a competition at the end of the 10-week training. This smaller cohort will participate in the 2027 SelectUSA Investment Summit and engage in official tech-focused spin-off events. 

The program will provide participants with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to attract customers, establish a U.S. commercial presence, develop partnerships, and pursue business opportunities in the United States. By strengthening entrepreneurs’ understanding of the U.S. market, this initiative will advance U.S. economic leadership, support private sector growth, and strengthen long-term commercial ties between the United States and Jordan.

Executive Summary
On October 20, 2020, Congress enacted the Native American Business Incubators Program Act, Pub. L. 116-174, codified at 25 U.S.C. 5801 et seq. In the Act, Congress established the Native American Business Incubators Program and required the Secretary of the Interior to promulgate regulations to implement the program. See 25 U.S.C. 5804.

The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Office of the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs, through the Office of Indian Economic Development (OIED), solicits proposals from eligible entities (see Eligibility Section) for grant funding from established Business Incubators to serve Native entrepreneurs with start-up, early-stage, and established businesses who will provide products or services to Tribal reservation communities. For the purposes of this NOFO, an established incubator is defined as an operational entity currently providing structured incubation services and is able to demonstrate prior performance. The Indian Business Incubator will provide entrepreneurship and business skills training and education to Native businesses and Native entrepreneurs and deliver a range of business services such as mentorships, networking, technical assistance, and access to investors. Further, Indian Business Incubators will promote collaboration, address challenges, and provide individually tailored services to overcome the obstacles that are unique to each participating business.

The OIED will administer this grant program through the Division of Economic Development (DED) funded under a non-recurring appropriation budget. Congress appropriates funds on a year- to-year basis. While IBIP projects may extend over several years, funding for successive years beyond the original period of performance depends on each fiscal year’s congressional appropriations, and at the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary).

The awards are for a project period of 36 months (§1187.40), with an option for an additional 36 months (§1187.41). The initial grant award will be for a 12-month budget period. The award continuation beyond each 12-month budget period is subject to the availability of funds, satisfactory progress on the part of each recipient, and a determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the Federal government. Neither the Department of the Interior (DOI) nor Indian Affairs will be held responsible for proposal or application preparation costs. Publication of this solicitation does not obligate DOI or Indian Affairs to award any specific grant or to obligate all or any part of available funds.
