Hispanic-Serving Institutions Education Grants Program

Solicitation # USDA-NIFA-HSI-011903

The Hispanic-Serving Institutions Education Grants Program, administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Department of Agriculture, provides approximately 30.6 million dollars in funding to strengthen the capacity of HSIs to deliver education, applied research, and community development programs in food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences. Individual awards range from 25,000 dollars to 1.2 million dollars, with specific bridge grants available between 100,000 and 200,000 dollars. Eligible institutions must maintain at least 25 percent undergraduate full-time Hispanic enrollment and meet specific federal criteria regarding accreditation, need-based assistance, and expenditure levels.

Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov by December 3, 2026, and must reflect a 48-month project period. The evaluation process consists of an initial administrative screening followed by a scientific peer-review based on five equally weighted criteria: potential for advancing education quality, proposed approach and cooperative linkages, institutional capability, qualifications of key personnel, and budget cost-effectiveness. Required documentation includes a project narrative limited to 20 double-spaced pages, a data management plan, a two-page mentoring plan, and a certification letter signed by the institution's Authorized Representative. All attachments must be submitted in PDF format.

Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Victoria University

Solicitation # TAIA0000-26-00116

The U.S. Department of Commerce, through the Office of Acquisition Management and the International Trade Administration, intends to award a sole source contract to the Centre of Policy Studies at Victoria University. This 12-month engagement involves the development and delivery of five integrated economic-modeling projects, including model enhancements, updated baseline data, and training materials. The work focuses on specialized CGE model-development services using GTAP, GTAP-Fin, USAGE, and USAGE-TERM frameworks to support trade policy, industrial policy, and macroeconomic analyses. The government has identified Victoria University as the only viable source due to their decade-long history of developing the specific model structures and architectures currently used by the Department. This continuity is essential to avoid the technical risk and duplication of effort that would result from another source attempting to recreate these complex systems. While this is a notice of intent for a sole source award, interested parties have 15 days from the publication date to submit written responses demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements.
