Opportunity Information: Apply for BIA NABDI 2022 OIED
The Native American Business Development Institute (NABDI) grant is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) through the Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development (OIED), specifically administered by OIEDs Division of Economic Development (DED). The program is designed to help Tribes and eligible Tribal organizations make well-informed economic development decisions by paying for expert technical assistance. In practice, this funding is mainly used to hire qualified consultants to evaluate potential business or economic development ideas before a Tribe commits significant time and resources to launching or expanding a project.
The core purpose of NABDI funding is to support feasibility studies and, when appropriate, the development of business plans. A feasibility study typically looks at whether a proposed project or venture makes sense in the real world and what it would take to make it work, such as market demand, competition, financial projections, operating costs, staffing needs, regulatory issues, site considerations, and overall risk. The opportunity also recognizes the need for economic recovery and adaptation, including recovery from disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. That means proposals can focus not only on launching new ventures, but also on helping existing Tribal businesses or enterprises adjust, stabilize, or pivot in response to pandemic-related challenges.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Tribal governments and Tribal organizations that meet the definition in 25 U.S.C. 5304(l). The solicitation references the list of federally recognized Tribes published at 87 FR 4636 (January 28, 2022). While the applicant must be a Tribe or eligible Tribal organization, the work itself can be carried out with the help of outside experts. The announcement notes that consultants may include universities and colleges, private consulting firms, and non-academic nonprofit entities, which gives applicants flexibility in choosing specialists with the right experience for a particular industry or project type.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number BIA NABDI 2022 OIED and is associated with CFDA (Assistance Listing) 15.133 under the Business and Commerce activity category. The award ceiling listed is $75,000 per award. The original application closing date shown is 2022-06-27. The posting also makes several standard federal funding cautions: awards depend on the availability of non-recurring appropriated funds in the BIA budget at the time of award and on Department of the Interior and Indian Affairs priorities; the government will not reimburse application preparation costs; publishing the notice does not guarantee any awards or require the agency to fund all available amounts; and the solicitation may be canceled or withdrawn at any time.
A key application instruction in the notice is that applicants must retrieve and follow the full official announcement package labeled BIA-NABDI-2022-OIED NOFO, which is located in the Related Documents section for the opportunity. That full NOFO governs how to apply, what must be included in the proposal package, how submissions are evaluated, and any specific formatting or compliance requirements.Apply for BIA NABDI 2022 OIED
