Title SunShot Initiative: Reducing Market Barriers and Non-Hardware Balance of System Costs - DE-FOA-0000520 Agencies United States Department of Energy (DOE) Description The objective of this FOA is to significantly reduce market barriers and the balance of system non-hardware cost components of Photovoltaic (PV) systems. Under this FOA, DOE intents to support software and database development, advance the utility and regulatory environment for solar, and to simplify and streamline the process of installing solar systems. There are three main topics to which an application may be submitted under this FOA: Topic 1: Codes, Standards and Processes - DOE seeks to invest in the development of model codes and standards that offer improved effectiveness in supporting PV deployment while ensuring safety, reliability and performance. However, the development of a model code, standard or process is not enough; the recommendations must be adopted at the appropriate level of government or at the utility level and enforced in a predictable and efficient manner. Inconsistency in actual implementation of processes, such as permitting and interconnection adds risk and cost to PV installations. Therefore, DOE also seeks to invest in strategies for actual code, standard and process implementation in addition to model codes or language for adoption. The implementation strategy will be coordinated with the successful applicant(s) under Topic 3, DOE's Solar Instructor Training Network, Solar America Communities Outreach initiative, and future awards in the FOA area under the duration of this award. Topic 2: Software Design Tools and Databases - Currently, there is a lack of software tools, databases and other IT solutions to support the solar industry working in authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ), to support local jurisdictions in streamlining their permitting process, and to provide transparency to the industry as a whole. DOE intends for the tools made available as a result of the funding opportunities listed herein to be made open, available and accessible to the public, including the source code and information necessary to reproduce their deployment. Although the choice of specific technologies and architectures used to accomplish this level of openness shall not be dictated to applicants, the expectations is that solutions should require no cost, no access restrictions (signups, credit card authorizations, etc), no expensive or exclusively proprietary software licenses to utilize or build upon. DOE seeks the development of tools in five specific areas detailed below. Applicants can, and are encouraged to apply for one or more of the sub-topic areas: Sub-Topic 2A: Utility-Scale Project Siting Tool Sub-Topic 2B: Plug-and-Play Tools to Facilitate Preparation and Review of Permit Applications Sub-Topic 2C: Database of PV Permitting Processes in Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) Sub-Topic 2D: PV System Verification Tool Sub-Topic 2E: Utility Rates Database Topic 3: Regulatory and Utility Solutions - The United States consists of a patchwork of solar markets on a state-by-state level, with reasonably strong markets now in place in the west, northeast, and Colorado. These markets have followed the presence of supportive policy and regulatory environments. Despite excellent solar resources throughout much of the country, many states lack a cohesive framework that can support a strong solar market by addressing policy and regulatory barriers, utility business and operational challenges and access to a range of business models and financing approaches. These barriers limit the size of the U.S. solar market and will remain considerable obstacles even in the face of significantly reduced PV system costs. DOE seeks an applicant(s) to develop and implement a comprehensive approach to address the issues identified above, in addition to others as appropriate, as well as the expected impact of that approach on reducing barriers to solar market development and expansion. Successful applicants will proactively address the solar-related information and technology needs of stakeholders, enabling policy and regulatory approaches that support solar market development, and promoting more efficient business processes that reduce solar system costs.

Title Young Turkey/Young America: A New Relationship for a New Age Agencies United States Department of State (DOS) Description The Office of Citizen Exchanges of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs invites proposal submissions for the FY 2011 Young Turkey/Young America Program: A New Relationship for a New Age. The Young Turkey/Young America Program was first announced by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Ankara on March 7, 2009, as part of an ongoing commitment to strengthen U.S.-Turkish relations. This professional fellowship program provides opportunities for young leaders, ages 24-35, in Turkey and the United States to advance critical dialogue, identify shared concerns, and develop grassroots initiatives that positively impact people's lives resulting in stronger ties between the two nations. Since the start of the initiative in 2009, more than 79 young Turkish and American leaders have engaged in substantive dialogue and collaborative projects addressing economic, environmental, social, and political issues facing both countries. The Young Turkey/Young America Program was created to recognize and support "one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world," create opportunities for sustained partnerships, and identify ways to deepen ties between emerging young leaders in both countries. Young Turkey/Young America seeks to enhance the ability of rising leaders to more effectively engage in public dialogue, and establish projects of mutual concern around economic, environmental, political, and social challenges facing Turkey and the United States in the 21st Century. Through a two-way professional exchange model, complemented by a robust leadership development component, experiential learning opportunities, and collaborative exercises, Young Turkey/Young America provides opportunities for eligible individuals to work together to advance foreign policy dialogue, enhance their leadership skills, develop or strengthen existing partnerships, and advance concrete strategies to better address complex issues facing both countries. Projects should target young professionals currently working to improve and enhance the economic, environmental, political, and/or social well-being of their communities with an expressed interest in advancing U.S.-Turkey bilateral relations. The first project theme "Foreign Policy Dialogue Among Emerging Leaders" will link young Turkish and American leaders in substantive foreign policy dialogue on issues of importance to both countries. The second project theme "Social and Economic Challenges for Future Leaders" will work to expand the capacity of nascent grassroots or not-for-profit organizations working in or with disadvantaged communities to address existing socioeconomic issues and challenges.

Title Request for Proposals: Democracy, Human Rights and Rule of Law for Kenya, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Agencies United States Department of State (DOS) Description DRL announces a Request for Proposals from organizations interested in submitting proposals for projects that promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law in Kenya, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). DRL invites organizations to submit proposals outlining program concepts and capacity to manage projects targeting the following issues: Kenya: DRL seeks proposals that promote the rights and participation of women and the disabled in the new constitutional reform agenda. Program activities should strengthen and build networks and coalitions to increase the advocacy and voice of women and, especially, the disabled. Targets of opportunity might include unions that focus on working conditions or organizations that work towards eliminating discrimination and promoting policy change. Sudan: Civil society activists in the North continue to be subject to abuses such as arbitrary arrest, disappearance and incommunicado detention, torture, physical abuse, unfair trial, and gender-based violence. DRL seeks proposals to build the capacity of local organizations to provide timely and secure services to victims of politically-motivated human rights abuses in Northern Sudan. Assistance should focus on providing services to civil society members including political activists, journalists, NGOs members, and labor advocates. It may also provide services to victims of restrictions on freedom of religion. Proposals must include a significant sub-grant component to local organizations. They must also demonstrate knowledge of and linkages to ongoing programming to monitor human rights abuses in the North, as well as the current means through which victims receive assistance. Applicants must have a demonstrated ability to work with Northern Sudanese local organizations and other relevant organizations in the region. Applicants must provide a description of mechanisms that will be employed to provide for the safety of local organizations and victims, including methods to protect the identity of victims. Program activities may include, but are not limited to the following: 1. Identification: Strengthen mechanisms for identifying victims in need of assistance, including in areas of the North outside of Khartoum. This includes building secure and safe linkages with local and international human rights monitors and activists, as well as civil society organizations. It also includes efforts to determine the whereabouts of persons who have disappeared. 2. Assessments: Strengthen and build processes to assess the security, medical, legal, and other assistance needs that victims and their families have as a result of the abuse. Such assessments must take into consideration the needs of female civil society members. Assessments should provide the basis for subsequent service provision. 3. Coordination and Referral: Implement and expand coordination efforts between local NGOs, physical and mental health providers, legal advocacy providers, and other service providers to ensure comprehensive assistance to victims and their families. 4. Service Provision: Provide training and funding to improve the capacity of local entities to offer direct services such as legal, medical, counseling, emergency shelter, and other forms of assistance to victims. Democratic Republic of the : DRL seeks proposals that strengthen protection of human rights defenders, in part by enhancing their capacity to fight impunity for attacks on defenders and other civilians. The program should address the concerning trend whereby defenders have become increasingly vulnerable to harassment, intimidation, attacks, and arbitrary arrest, and whereby the killing of defenders have often been followed by investigations lacking in impartiality and marred by irregularities. The Floribert Chebeya Bahizire Human Rights Defenders Program, named in memory of an NGO activist who was killed in June 2010, should take robust actions designed to establish or strengthen, in partnership with defenders and government, all of the following: - a legal framework and a national action plan for the protection of defenders; - a rapid-reaction mechanism to protect journalists and NGO activists who go missing or are under siege; - cooperative relationships with both executive branch officials and parliamentarians to legitimize defenders' work, including that of women defenders, and end the stigmatization of defenders as "enemies" of the government; and - a mechanism to disseminate self-protection strategies for defenders who focus on particularly sensitive topics, such as conflict minerals and corruption, that increase their vulnerability to harassment or violence. In addition, applicants are encouraged to consider including one or more of the following activities listed below, if possible, although applicants should be aware that the activities below are of somewhat lesser importance than the four bullet points listed above and will receive less consideration in the evaluation process: - facilitating the adoption of long-pending legislation that would provide civilian courts (rather than the military justice system) with jurisdiction over war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, as well as crimes against defenders by government security forces; - the establishment of a functioning and effective national human rights commission in adherence with the Paris Principles; - strengthening cooperative relationships between the DRC's security forces and defenders; - conducting sensitization training for police and military regarding the importance of defenders, possibly including defenders' potential role in pressing for regular and better pay of soldiers and police; and - enhancing links between defenders and the UN-facilitated joint investigation teams and prosecution cells, which work with civil society to identify abuses for investigation and prosecution. Proposals that combine target countries and/or themes may be deemed technically ineligible. P More Information http://www.state.gov/g/drl/p/157486.htm Submission Limits An organization may submit no more than two proposals. Cost Sharing: Programs that leverage resources from funds internal to the organization or other sources, such as public-private partnerships, will be highly considered. Cost sharing is strongly encouraged, and cost sharing contributions should be outlined in the proposal, budget, and budget narrative.

Title Asthma Interventions in Public and Assisted Multifamily Housing Agencies United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (HUD) Description he OHHLHC is making available grant funds for activities to improve asthma control among asthmatic children and other residents of federally assisted multifamily housing. The overall purpose of the program is to demonstrate and evaluate cost effective interventions to improve asthma control among children and other residents of federally assisted multifamily housing. The program is intended to fund demonstration projects to improve asthma control among children and others currently residing in federally assisted multifamily housing developments that are administered by local public housing authorities (i.e., public housing) as well as privately owned multifamily housing that is subsidized by HUD (e.g. Project-based Section 8, section 202, and section 811 housing). Multifamily housing refers to a residential property containing five or more dwelling units. HUD is specifically interested in funding projects in multifamily housing developments that are administered by local public housing authorities (i.e., public housing) or privately owned multifamily housing that is subsidized by HUD. HUD is targeting asthma because it is a common illness that disproportionately affects disadvantaged populations and multifaceted interventions (including actions to reduce exposure to environmental triggers) can be effective in improving asthma control. The major objectives of this NOFA are to support: 1. Development and implementation of cost effective, replicable interventions and protocols for the control of asthma among residents of federally assisted, multifamily housing, particularly children with poorly controlled asthma; 2. Creation of sustainable programs and policies (i.e., program activities which continue after the end of the grant performance period) that reduce exposure to asthma triggers in the indoor environment (e.g., IPM, smoke-free housing, integration of this grant with local green and healthy homes initiatives, etc.) and improve the medical management of asthma; and 3. Evaluations of the effectiveness (including cost-effectiveness) of asthma control programs and interventions in improving the health of residents and their understanding of asthma management practices. More Information http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do?mode=VIEW&oppId=86634 Submission Limits Only one application for a specific project will be accepted from any given organization. If more than one application is received for the same project from an organization, the application that was timely received last by Grants.gov will be considered for funding. Cost Sharing: Cost sharing or "matching" is not required; however, applicant "leveraging" contributions are encouraged.
