  • Department Announces Grant Opportunity to Provide Job Training and Employment Services for Homeless Veterans

    The Department of Labor has announced the availability of up to $5 million to fund 16 or more Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program grants. Approximately 2,600 veterans will receive job training and related services to help them succeed in civilian careers. Funds for the grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to state and local workforce investment boards, public agencies, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and faith-based and community organizations. Because these groups are intimately connected with their local economies and the needs of homeless veterans, they can offer occupational, classroom and on-the-job training, as well as job search and placement assistance, including follow-up services. Awards will range from $100,000 to $300,000 each. The solicitation for grant applications is available at http://www.grants.gov.

  • Administration Launches Competition for Three New Manufacturing Innovation Institutes

    The Obama Administration has announced that it is launching competitions to create three new manufacturing innovation institutes with a Federal commitment of $200 million across five Federal agencies ? Defense, Energy, Commerce, NASA, and the National Science Foundation. 

    To build off the initial success of a pilot institute headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio, the President announced in the State of the Union that his Administration would move forward and launch three new manufacturing innovation institutes this year.  The President will continue to call on Congress to act on his proposal for a one-time $1 billion investment to create a network of 15 manufacturing innovation institutes across the country. 

    The Department of Defense will lead two of the new Institutes, focused on ?Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation? and ?Lightweight and Modern Metals Manufacturing?, and the Department of Energy will be leading one new institute on ?Next Generation Power Electronics Manufacturing?.  

    All three institutes will be selected through an open, competitive process, led by the Departments of Energy and Defense, with review from a multi-agency team of technical experts.  Winning teams will be selected and announced later this year.  Federal funds will be matched by industry co-investment, support from state and local governments, and other sources.  Like the pilot institute, these Institutes are expected to become financially self-sustaining, and the plan to achieve this objective will be a critical evaluation criterion in the selection process.  DOD and DOE are opening the competition for the three new institutes immediately.  Press Release / Additional Background Department of Defense ?  ?Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation?
