• Treasury has made up to $11.8 million available under this NOFO, with up to approximately $10.2 million expected for competitive project grants.
• Up to approximately $1.6 million is expected to be available for independent evaluation grants, capped at 15 percent of the related project grant.
• Applicants have five months to submit an application, and Treasury intends to make an award decision no later than six months after applications are received.

• The period of performance for any funded project must end by September 2032, and Treasury has replaced Benefit Cost Analysis with Budget Impact Analysis as the required outcome valuation methodology.
