Opportunity Information: Apply for BIA FA TEDC 0008
The Energy and Mineral Development Program (EMDP) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), through the Division of Energy and Mineral Development (DEMD) within the Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development (IEED). It is designed to help federally recognized Indian tribes that have Indian lands, as well as Tribal Resource Development Organizations, move energy and mineral resource ideas from early-stage concepts toward projects that are ready for responsible development. The program focuses on building a clearer, data-driven understanding of a tribe's resources and options so that tribes can make informed decisions that support long-term economic benefits while remaining environmentally sound.
The projects supported under EMDP are primarily pre-construction and planning in nature, meaning the funding is aimed at the work that has to happen before a project can realistically be built or financed. Typical eligible activities include resource inventories and assessments (to identify and quantify potential energy or mineral resources), feasibility studies (to test whether a proposed project makes technical and financial sense), and other types of early-stage studies needed to promote the processing, use, or development of resources located on Indian lands. The emphasis is on analysis, evaluation, and development planning rather than construction or operations, with the intent of helping tribes reach a point where the targeted resource can generate economic value efficiently and responsibly.
EMDP funding is provided through congressional appropriations that are discretionary and non-recurring, meaning the available funds can vary by year and are not guaranteed as an ongoing entitlement. Because DEMD historically receives more applications than can be funded in a given cycle, awards are competitive and are made based on a formal ranking process. Proposals are scored using defined criteria, and DEMD funds the highest-ranking applications at its discretion. While awards are merit-based, DEMD also notes that it supports a wide range of project types and makes an effort to encourage diversity across geographic regions and tribal representation when possible.
Key administrative details from the listing include the funding opportunity number BIA FA TEDC 0008, with the activity category identified as Energy and the CFDA number 15.148. The instrument type is a grant and the opportunity category is discretionary. The listing indicated an expected number of awards of 35 for that cycle, and it showed an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that the maximum award amount is not stated in the high-level listing and must be confirmed in the full announcement materials. The opportunity was posted on October 22, 2018, with an original closing date of January 25, 2019, reflecting that the details provided relate to that specific funding cycle.
A practical point emphasized in the announcement is that applicants are expected to retrieve and follow the full announcement package found under the "Related Documents" section. That package is presented as essential because it contains the instructions on how to apply and likely includes required forms, submission steps, eligibility nuances, evaluation criteria, budget rules, and any program-specific compliance requirements. In other words, the short public summary explains the purpose and general scope, but the actual application requirements and what counts as a complete, compliant submission are contained in the full document set.Apply for BIA FA TEDC 0008
