Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Funding Opportunity for Indian Tribes and Intertribal Consortia for Nonpoint Source Management Grants Under Clean Water Act Section 319

Elizabeth January Program Analyst·Government

This opportunity provides grant/cooperative agreement funding to federally recognized Tribes and intertribal consortia to implement approved nonpoint source management programs under Clean Water Act Section 319. It supports best management practices and related measures identified in Tribal management plans to address nonpoint source pollution. The intended outcome is improved management of water pollution sources affecting tribal assessment areas.

Go / No-Go Memo

This opportunity is worth monitoring, but needs more validation before proposal effort.

Watch

The opportunity is limited to federally recognized Tribes and intertribal consortia in the United States, with a narrow environmental water-quality implementation focus. There is no clear realistic role for IFRC or National Societies, and the eligibility restrictions make it largely irrelevant to the Movement.

Strategic fit

moderate

Government is the strongest profile match at 70/100; relevance is 10/100.

Eligibility risk

moderate

Eligible applicant types include Government.

Deadline feasibility

moderate

The call closes in 19 days, so proposal capacity is the main constraint.

Funding attractiveness

moderate

The tracked ceiling is $3.5M across 20 awards.

Partnership need

moderate

This may be stronger with a Government lead or co-applicant based on fit scores.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support eligible Tribes and intertribal consortia to implement approved Nonpoint Source (NPS) management programs developed pursuant to CWA Section 319(b)(1). The Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 319(h) authorizes the EPA to award grants to eligible Tribes and intertribal consortia to implement approved NPS management programs. This NOFO will fund implementation of best management practices (BMPs) and measures that have been outlined in Tribal NPS Management Program Plans to address NPS pollution sources that have been identified in a Tribe’s Assessment Report.

Eligible applicants to this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) are federally recognized Tribes and intertribal consortia that meet the eligibility requirements described in Section 2.A.

Strengthening Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Organized Crime Specialized Departments for Organized Crime Through Expert Advisory Support

U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina

This opportunity funds expert advisory and mentoring support to specialized anti-organized crime and corruption departments in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The selected individual or experts will work with prosecutors, judges, and investigators in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska to strengthen prosecutorial methodology, case prioritization, and legal reform efforts. The intended outcome is stronger institutional capacity to manage complex organized crime and corruption cases, including cases with a U.S. nexus.

This is a U.S. Mission grant for individual experts focused on anti-organized crime and corruption capacity building in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is outside IFRC and National Society core mandates. Eligibility is restricted to individuals and the source gives no realistic role for Movement participation, so relevance is very low.

Emerging Infections Network - Research for Preventing, Detecting, and Managing Travel-associated Infectious Diseases

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA

This cooperative agreement funds research to improve prevention, detection, and management of travel-associated infectious diseases in international travelers. It supports clinic-based sentinel surveillance and sentinel detection at international transportation hubs to generate actionable data on disease burden, diagnostics, treatment, and outbreak detection. The expected outcome is improved public health guidance, patient care, and surveillance capacity for travel-related infectious disease threats.

The NOFO is relevant because it funds infectious disease surveillance and research with an explicit sentinel-detection component, which could align with public health and travel-health capacities. However, eligibility is limited to U.S.-based organizational types and the opportunity is framed as a research cooperative agreement, so IFRC or National Society participation is possible only indirectly and should not be assumed.

Advanced border surveillance and situational awareness

European Commission

This Horizon Europe Innovation Action funds solutions for advanced border surveillance and situational awareness at land and sea borders. It is aimed at projects involving border or coast guard authorities and focuses on improving detection, response, and protection of fundamental rights in the context of irregular migration and cross-border illicit activities. The expected outcome is more effective, safer, and more resilient border monitoring and reaction capacities, with projects reaching TRL 6-7.

The call is highly specific to border and coast guard authorities in EU Member States or Associated Countries, which limits a direct Movement participation pathway. It is still relevant to monitor because it concerns migration-related border situational awareness and fundamental-rights safeguards, but source information does not support a strong role for IFRC or National Societies.
