The NOFO contains 3 components: A, B, and C. UA may apply for only 1 component.


This NOFO seeks to decrease risk for type 2 diabetes among adults with prediabetes and improve self-care practices, quality of care, and early detection of complications among people with diabetes. Additionally, this NOFO will support implementation of evidence-based, family-centered childhood obesity interventions as a type 2 diabetes risk reduction strategy. The NOFO includes 3 components. Applicants may apply for only 1. Components A and B focus on a menu of strategies to decrease risk for type 2 diabetes among adults at high risk; improve selfcare practices, quality of care, and early detection of complications among priority populations with diabetes; and support implementation of family-centered childhood obesity interventions to reduce risk for type 2 diabetes. Component A will fund 51 organizations physically located in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia to achieve state/district-wide reach. Component B will fund up to 22 organizations to work in US counties identified as “high need” based on diabetes burden and social vulnerability; applicants’ work must reach a population > 350,000 across one or more of these counties, in partnership with local organizations. Component C will fund 3-4 multisectoral partnership networks to simultaneously and collaboratively address 4 aspects of work proven necessary to scale and sustain the National Diabetes Prevention Program to better engage, enroll, and retain large numbers of participants.

An entity may only submit one Concept Paper and one Full Application for each topic area of this FOA. UofA is only eligible for Topic Area 2: Smart Grid Grants

The BIL is a once-in-a-generation investment in infrastructure, designed to modernize and upgrade American infrastructure to enhance U.S. competitiveness, driving the creation of good-paying union jobs, tackling the climate crisis, and ensuring stronger access to economic, environmental, and other benefits for disadvantaged communities (DACs). 

This FOA seeks applications to address these three goals:
1. Transform community, regional, interregional, and national resilience, including in consideration of future shifts in generation and load
2. Catalyze and leverage private sector and non-federal public capital for impactful technology and infrastructure deployment
3. Advance community benefits

Topic Area 2: Smart Grid Grants (40107)
Objectives Topic Area 2 seeks to deploy and catalyze technology solutions that increase the flexibility, efficiency, reliability, and resilience of the electric power system, with particular focus on enhancing the system’s capabilities to meet the following objectives:

• increase the capacity of transmission facilities or the capability of the transmission system to reliably transfer increased amounts of electric energy; 
• prevent faults that may lead to wildfires or other system disturbances;
• integrate variable renewable energy resources at the transmission and distribution levels; and, 
• facilitate the aggregation and integration (edge-computing) of electric vehicles and other grid-edge devices or electrified loads.
