Potential Funding Sample Clauses
Potential Funding. Implementing restoration activities identified in this plan will be a challenge given ▇▇▇▇▇ County’s economic situation. Similar to other local governments in Washington State, the County has been working hard to provide basic services with tighter budgets. A funding mechanism to support these voluntary actions has not yet been identified and funds are not currently dedicated. At present, shoreline restoration is almost entirely dependent on grant funding, which depends upon the availability and award of state and federal monies. The County’s ability to devote any general funds to the implementation of this plan is doubtful, but potential internal funding sources do exist. One potential funding mechanism would be the establishment of a shoreline restoration program organized like or integrated with a capital improvement program (CIP). Similar to an infrastructure CIP, a shoreline restoration CIP would be evaluated and updated regularly. A restoration CIP could be focused on site-specific projects and could be funded through grants or County general funds. For example, funds could be dedicated to support bulkhead removal, beach cleanup, and riparian enhancements in the shoreline jurisdiction. Further, existing CIP projects, such as stormwater facility and road improvements, could be evaluated to determine if their design could advance shoreline restoration goals. Special Districts or local improvement districts (LIDs) could also be established to help fund and/or implement restoration projects. A Special District is a local unit of government authorized by law to perform a single function or a limited number of functions, and including but not limited to, water-sewer districts, irrigation districts, and transportation districts. LIDs are primarily a means of financing needed capital improvements. LIDs allow improvements to be financed and paid for over a period of time through assessments on the benefitting properties. They require the approval of the local government and benefited property owners. LIDs involve the sale of bonds to investors and the retirement of those bonds via annual payments by the property owners within a district. Both of the models would provide a potential mechanism for achieving some of the goals of this plan. A variety of outside funding sources are also available for restoration projects in Puget Sound; these are listed in Appendix C: Potential Funding Sources. Funding opportunities have generally increased since the implementat...
Potential Funding. The LOLA proposal included in this thesis will be submitted in response to the funding opportunity announcement-Pragmatic Research in Healthcare Settings to Improve Diabetes and Obesity Prevention and Care (R18) (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15- 157.html). The purpose of this Research Demonstration and Dissemination Projects (R18) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage research applications to test approaches to improve diabetes and obesity prevention and/or treatment in routine healthcare settings designed to test practical and potentially sustainable strategies to improve processes of care and health outcomes for individuals who are overweight or obese or at risk for becoming overweight or obese and/or at risk for or have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. This FOA seeks research to test the effectiveness of implementable and potentially scalable and sustainable strategies for healthcare delivery to prevent type 2 diabetes in at-risk individuals, improve care for individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and reduce associated long term complications, or to test the effectiveness of obesity prevention and treatment strategies that can be implemented in primary care settings.
Potential Funding. A variety of outside funding sources are available for restoration projects in Puget Sound. Funding opportunities have generally increased since the implementation of Governor Gregoire’s Puget Sound Initiative in 2005, though the process by which organizations are able to obtain funds is typically quite competitive. Sources listed here do not represent an exhaustive list of potential funding opportunities, but are meant to provide an overview of the types of opportunities available. For additional detail, see the ▇▇▇▇▇ County Restoration Plan, Chapter 9.

This report will form part of the master plan documentation package and all lease agreements. • Annual building inspection and upkeep of the centre...
Potential Funding. In the case of the Text4Teen grant proposal contained in the appendix of this thesis, it is anticipated that this grant would be submitted to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Within HHS, there are a number of areas where funding may be able to be obtained, including most prominently Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) programs, Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) state system development programs, and special programs funding as authorized by congress. Additionally, anticipated funding award amounts can vary significantly and range from $100, 000 to $300,000 or higher. Also, it should be noted that funding from multiple sources can sometimes be used in augment certain elements across program areas. Under the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Extramural Resources prepares materials and guidelines to assist both the construction and evaluation of grant proposals. The Division of Grants Compliance and Oversight (DGCO) in the Office of Policy for Extramural Research Administration (OPERA), Office of Extramural Research (OER), National Institute of Health (NIH), acts as a focal point to advance objective grant evaluation, external compliance with policy and legislative mandates, and enhance compliance oversight by recipient institutions (HHS, 2011f). Accordingly, the discussion of grant applications, evaluations, and scoring resources was constructed around guidance and materials available from these organizations. Funding for public health- related grant program sponsored by HHS is done on a competitive basis. In support of its mission, HHS awards grants for more than 300 programs and is the largest grant-awarding agency in the Federal government. HHS awards two types of grants: non-discretionary and discretionary (HHS, 2011g). Non-discretionary grants are those that a federal agency is required by statute to award if the recipient, usually a state, submits an acceptable State Plan or application and meets the eligibility and compliance requirements of the statutory and regulatory provisions of the grant program (HHS, 2011g). Discretionary Grants permit the federal government, according to specific authorizing legislation, to exercise judgment, or "discretion," in selecting the applicant/recipient organization, through a competitive grant process (HHS, 2011g). Information forecasting grant funded is programs is provided by HHS and is available through Internet access. Additionally, applications for grant f...
