Opportunity Information: Apply for OIAOIA TAP2200038
The OIA Technical Assistance Program 2022 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, through the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA), to support technical assistance efforts that benefit U.S.-affiliated island communities and freely associated states. The program is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.875 and is intended to help eligible applicants strengthen capacity, improve services, and address practical needs that can be solved through targeted expertise, planning, training, or similar forms of technical support. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number OIAOIA TAP2200038.
Eligible applicants are limited to non-federal entities connected to, or directly serving, the seven insular areas named in the notice: Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Republic of Palau. In practice, this includes local government agencies (and the notice explicitly mentions that this can include local hospitals, health centers, and utilities), as well as institutions of higher education located in these jurisdictions. The eligibility scope also extends to nonprofit organizations, as long as their mission directly benefits one or more of the seven insular areas. All applicants are expected to comply with the federal administrative and cost principles found in 2 CFR 200, which governs issues like financial management standards, allowable costs, procurement, reporting, and audit requirements for federal awards.
A key restriction is that OIA cannot fund the Judicial or Legislative branches of local governments under this program, citing the limitation in 2 CFR 200.444. This means that even if an entity is part of an otherwise eligible local government, it must not be an office or activity that falls under the judiciary or legislature when seeking OIA funding through this specific opportunity.
The opportunity uses the grant funding instrument type and is categorized under the broad funding activity area of "Other," which typically signals flexibility in the kinds of technical assistance activities that may be supported, as long as they align with OIA goals and meet program and federal requirements. The public posting indicates an original closing date of April 15, 2022, and a creation/posting date of October 15, 2021. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify the expected number of awards in the provided excerpt, which often implies that award amounts, totals, or the number of awards were not stated in the summary record and would normally be detailed in the full announcement or related program guidance.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a pathway for eligible island-area governments, public service entities, universities, and mission-driven nonprofits to request federal support for specialized assistance that improves local capacity and operations. Applicants considering this program would typically focus on clearly demonstrating direct benefits to one or more of the named insular areas, ensuring they fit within the eligible non-federal entity categories, and preparing to follow 2 CFR 200 requirements, including the specific prohibition on funding judicial or legislative branches.Apply for OIAOIA TAP2200038
