Opportunity Information: Apply for MBDA OBD 2020 2006442
The Inner City Innovation Hubs opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: MBDA OBD 2020 2006442) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Commerce through the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). It was issued as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), meaning it is designed to invite a range of project concepts that align with MBDA's strategic plan and mission goals, rather than funding one narrowly defined program model. In practical terms, MBDA is looking for applicants to propose special projects and programs that support minority business development and related economic outcomes, with the agency using the BAA to describe how it will review, select, and administer awards.
Funding is offered through either grants or cooperative agreements. A cooperative agreement is similar to a grant but typically involves more federal involvement during implementation, so applicants should be prepared for the possibility of closer collaboration and oversight by MBDA depending on the specific award structure. The funding activity category is listed broadly under Environment, Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, which signals that MBDA was open to innovation-oriented or research-and-development-style approaches as long as they connect back to MBDA priorities and minority business advancement.
The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $700,000, and MBDA anticipated making 2 awards under this announcement, indicating a relatively competitive opportunity with a small number of funded projects. The original posting date was April 14, 2020, and the original application deadline was May 15, 2020. The CFDA number associated with the program is 11.802, which is the catalog identifier applicants and auditors often use to track the federal assistance program.
Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, so the applicant pool is not limited to only state or local governments. This usually means some mix of nonprofits, for-profits, institutions of higher education, and other entities may be allowed, but the specific eligible entity types and any restrictions would be spelled out in the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section of the full notice. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as MBDA seeking strong, well-justified proposals for innovation hub-style projects in inner-city contexts that advance MBDA's mission, with clear guidance in the BAA on how proposals would be evaluated and how awards would be managed once selected.Apply for MBDA OBD 2020 2006442
