The goal of this Cooperative Agreement is to facilitate long term improvements to the national food safety system by providing states with information to aid in the identification of needed changes and resources to enforce requirements for current good manufacturing practice (CGMPs), hazard analysis, and risk-based preventive controls for food for animals modeled after FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals rule (Preventive Controls for Animal Food rule or PCAF rule). The information also would assist FDA in implementing the Preventive Controls for Animal Food rule.

The Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs’ (OES) Office of Global Change at the Department of State, announces the Notice of Funding Opportunity (“NOFO”) for the expansion of activities under the Partnership on Women’s Entrepreneurship in Renewables (wPOWER), consistent with the goals of the Partnership. wPOWER is unlocking women’s potential to address climate change by empowering women clean energy entrepreneurs to expand clean energy access for poor and rural communities through the sale of solar products and clean cookstoves. wPOWER is building a partnership network of organizations working in the gender and clean energy sector and expanding the evidence base and increasing public awareness of the importance of integrating women into the energy access value chain. This NOFO will focus on expanding activities under these wPOWER program goals by empowering and supporting women clean energy entrepreneurs, conducting research to advance women clean energy entrepreneurship, addressing financial barriers, and growing the wPOWER Partnership.

The largest methane sources of emissions from the transmission and storage were reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, pneumatic controllers, blowdowns, and equipment leaks. A public research effort is needed to find more effective and cost efficient ways to mitigate methane emissions and better quantify the sources, volumes and rates of methane emissions across the natural gas infrastructure. The objective of the mitigation-focused research portion of the Program is the development for a suite of natural gas leak mitigation technologies that will enable companies to effectively mitigate leaks. The objective of the methane emission quantification-focused portion of the Program is to better quantify methane emissions from the natural gas value chain.

A major focus of this announcement is to encourage collaboration between other organizations and NASA to help advance ARMD strategic goals. Awards will be made as grants, cooperative agreements or contracts, depending on the nature of the proposing organization
and/or program requirements. It is anticipated that the majority of awards will be cooperative agreements or contracts due to the expected collaborative nature of the work specified in the technical appendices. The typical period of performance for an award is three years, although a few programs may specify shorter or longer (maximum of five years) periods.
Submission Window: 4/14/16 - 4/30/17
