Are federal agencies eligible to apply? Are regional planning organizations eligible to apply?
A – Federal agencies are not eligible to apply. However, we strongly encourage applications from eligible agencies or organizations who intend to collaborate with a federal agency or inform that agency’s decision-making process. As stated in the CFP, we will accept proposals for HIA demonstrations projects that will address a federal decision in which the effects are limited to a specific community or region (such as an environmental impact statement for a proposed project). There are entities associated with the federal government–such as “quasi-governmental agencies” and foundations associated with a federal agency–for whom eligibility may need to be discussed on a case-by-case basis. While there may be some nuances to eligibility for regional planning organizations, we believe that these entities are generally eligible under this call for proposals.
