States, territories, and freely associated states must submit Grant Plans, including one or
more Program Plans, by September 24, 2022. Tribal applicants do not need to submit a separate Grant Plan.
While EDA encourages eligible applicants to submit their applications as soon as possible, EDA strongly advises eligible applicants to submit complete applications at least by March 31, 2022 so that EDA can review and process the application in time to get a potential award in place prior to deadlines imposed by Congress. Submission by March 31, 2022 is not a guarantee of funding. Any award is subject to the availability of funds. EDA strongly encourages all applicants to start early and contact their EDA representative for assistance. See section E of this Indigenous Communities NOFO regarding EDA’s review process and section G of the NOFO for EDA Regional Office Point of Contact (POC) information.
Eligible Tribal governments must submit an application by June 1, 2022 to receive allocated funds.
Treasury may re-allocate unclaimed funds after the Tribal application deadline. Tribal governments are
therefore encouraged to submit Applications well in advance of the deadline to allow time for
remediation prior to the deadline, if needed.
