Results for America recently launched a new, comprehensive resource toward helping federal decision makers and others “shift the over $1 trillion allocated through federal grants each year to evidence-based solutions.” The Federal Evidence-Based Spending Guide provides example legislative language and Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) language, as well as talks about investing federal taxpayer dollars through six strategies:
1. Clearly defining evidence
2. Prioritizing evidence
3. Building evidence through evaluations
4. Defining desired outcomes
5. Implementing performance management
6. Centering community in program design, implementation and evaluation
Here are new opportunities from this week – noted in yellow in the spreadsheet. We also highlight in yellow any items listed or forecasted early where there are notable changes. We post new rolling opportunities up top, then we move them to the last section with other rolling opportunities. Please note that all items are uploaded to the HANO Grants Corner Funding Opportunities list and can be searched via keyword: Grants Corner – Hawaiʻi Alliance of Nonprofit Organizations (hano-hawaii.org). The total amount from the competitions where we have program totals is almost $11 billion.
