its Native American Business Development Institute (NABDI), is soliciting grant proposals from eligible federally recognized Tribes and Tribal organizations.

NABDI award funding will be used to explore business solutions by obtaining technical assistance through the hiring of consultants to perform feasibility studies for those economic development opportunities.

In addition to feasibility studies, NABDI grants may fund business plans for the eligible applicant’s goals for economic opportunity and recovery, such as the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Office of the Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs, through OIED, is soliciting proposals from federally recognized Tribes listed as Indian Entities Recognized by and Eligible to Receive Services from the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs at 87 FR 4636 (January 28, 2022) and Tribal Organizations eligible for NABDI grants.

NABDI awards may be used to develop business plans for eligible applicant’s goals for economic opportunity and recovery, such as the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The OIED administers this program through its Division of Economic Development (DED).
