Opportunity Information: Apply for EDA PHI TA PRO 2021 2006894
The FY 2021 EDA University Center Competition - PRO is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA), under CFDA 11.303. The program supports the University Center Economic Development Program, which is designed to fund technical assistance activities delivered by accredited colleges and universities, including community colleges and junior colleges, as well as consortia of accredited higher education institutions. The core idea is to leverage university-based expertise and capacity to help regions strengthen their economies through practical, applied support to communities, businesses, and partners.
This competition specifically targets applicants that are located in, and whose proposed work serves only, the geographic areas covered by EDA's Chicago and Philadelphia Regional Offices. In other words, proposals must be tightly aligned to those EDA service areas, both in terms of where the applicant is based and where the benefits and program activities will occur. EDA is soliciting competitive applications, meaning funding decisions depend on how well a proposal meets the program goals and the NOFO requirements, rather than being allocated by formula.
Funded projects must focus on one or more of several priority economic development areas. These include advancing regional commercialization efforts (for example, helping move research and innovations toward market readiness), advancing high-growth entrepreneurship (such as supporting startup formation and scale-up), cultivating innovation (building systems and partnerships that generate new ideas and products), encouraging business expansion within a region's innovation clusters (supporting existing firms and strengthening cluster competitiveness), developing a high-skilled regional workforce (aligning training and talent pipelines with employer demand), and increasing regional resiliency (helping regions adapt to and recover from economic shocks and disruptions). The technical assistance emphasis indicates the program is oriented toward expertise, planning, coordination, research, and applied support rather than major construction or infrastructure.
Eligibility is limited to accredited institutions of higher education and consortia of such institutions. The eligible applicant categories listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities as described in the NOFO, with section C.1 referenced for full eligibility details. The funding instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of $200,000. The opportunity was created on April 5, 2021, and the original application deadline was June 4, 2021, under Funding Opportunity Number EDA PHI TA PRO 2021 2006894.Apply for EDA PHI TA PRO 2021 2006894
