Opportunity Information: Apply for EDA DEN TA DRO 2018 2005549
The EDA Denver FY 2016- FY 2019 Planning Program and Local Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA), offered through a cooperative agreement. It is grounded in the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (PWEDA) and EDA regulations (including 13 C.F.R. 300.3), and it lays out the general policies and application procedures for EDA investments that focus on regional planning and hands-on technical support. The overall purpose is to help communities, regions, and Tribal areas strengthen their economic development capacity, become more resilient to economic shocks, and ultimately support the creation and retention of quality jobs, with particular attention to economically distressed places and to people who are unemployed or underemployed.
A central piece of the Planning Program is EDA support for regional economic development planning that helps an area organize around shared priorities and a practical roadmap for growth. Within this, EDA emphasizes Partnership Planning, which is designed to fund the development, implementation, revision, or replacement of Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS). A CEDS is essentially a region's strategic economic plan: it identifies key economic conditions, assets, challenges, and opportunities, and it lays out a prioritized set of goals and actions that stakeholders can rally around. Partnership Planning awards commonly flow to designated planning organizations, such as District Organizations that serve EDA-designated Economic Development Districts, so those entities can maintain an ongoing, up-to-date CEDS process and coordinate regional efforts. EDA also makes Partnership Planning awards to Indian Tribes to support Tribal CEDS development and related economic development activities, recognizing that Tribes may require tailored planning approaches aligned with their governance and economic priorities.
Beyond Partnership Planning, the Planning Program also includes Short Term Planning and State Planning investments. These are meant to address more immediate or targeted planning needs and to help build the foundation for longer-term economic growth. The planning work supported under these categories is framed around practical outcomes: guiding strategies that can lead to job creation and job retention, improving regional coordination, and strengthening the capacity of local institutions to pursue development projects effectively. The emphasis on distressed regions signals that EDA is particularly interested in planning efforts that help communities overcome persistent economic hardship and position themselves for more inclusive, durable prosperity.
The Local Technical Assistance (LTA) Program complements planning by funding specific analytical and capacity-building projects that help organizations make better development decisions. Instead of producing a broad regional strategy, LTA funds focused work products such as feasibility studies, impact analyses, and other forms of technical research and evaluation that can move an idea from concept to action. In practice, this can include examining whether a proposed initiative is economically viable, assessing likely outcomes, identifying implementation barriers, or building the evidence base needed to attract additional funding and partners. The intent is to strengthen the ability of eligible organizations to undertake and promote effective economic development programs with solid data, credible analysis, and actionable recommendations.
Eligibility is broad and includes many of the public, Tribal, educational, and nonprofit entities that typically lead regional and local development work. Eligible applicants include District Organizations (as defined by EDA), Indian Tribes or consortia of Tribes, states and political subdivisions (including cities, counties, special districts, and other units of government engaged in economic or infrastructure development, as well as consortia of such entities), institutions of higher education (or consortia), and public or private nonprofit organizations or associations acting in cooperation with officials of a political subdivision of a state. The opportunity listing also explicitly includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized Tribal governments, and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the nonprofit eligibility tied to the cooperation requirement described in the program text).
From the funding details provided, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number EDA DEN TA DRO 2018 2005549 and references CFDA numbers 11.302 and 11.303 (which correspond to EDA planning and technical assistance-related activities). The award ceiling is listed at $300,000. The posting was created on March 20, 2018, and the original closing date is shown as April 30, 2021. Overall, the opportunity is structured to help regions and communities plan strategically through CEDS and related planning efforts, while also funding the targeted technical analyses that often determine whether economic development projects are ready for implementation and investment.Apply for EDA DEN TA DRO 2018 2005549
