The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) is offering its 2024 National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Compliance Efforts grant, a crucial initiative to enhance crime statistics reporting across the state. This program aligns with the PCCD's mission to improve public safety and criminal justice by fostering accurate and timely data collection. The grant, supported by federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, aims to modernize technology infrastructure for reporting incident-based crime data to the FBI’s NIBRS. This move will significantly improve the quality and detail of crime data, providing a more comprehensive understanding of criminal activity and informing more effective law enforcement strategies. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are local law enforcement agencies, campus police, university police, railroad or street railway police departments, airport authority police departments (including Harrisburg International Airport Police), and county park police within Pennsylvania. The goal is to equip these agencies with the necessary tools and training to transition to NIBRS-compliant reporting. The impact goal is to achieve widespread NIBRS compliance, thereby improving the accuracy and completeness of crime statistics reported to the FBI, which will ultimately support better resource allocation and crime prevention efforts across the state. The grant program's priorities and focus are clearly defined: upgrading technology infrastructure, specifically the installation of NIBRS-compliant record management systems, providing agency training on data collection and submission, and offering technical assistance to personnel responsible for these tasks. PCCD expects to fund approximately 50 grants, with budgets not exceeding $200,000 over a two-year project period. This focused approach ensures that the funds are directly applied to the critical components of NIBRS implementation. Expected outcomes include a significant increase in the number of Pennsylvania law enforcement agencies capable of submitting NIBRS data to the FBI. Measurable results will include the successful deployment of NIBRS-compliant systems, the number of personnel trained, and ultimately, an improvement in the quality and timeliness of crime data submitted. The long-term strategic priority of PCCD is to build a robust and data-driven criminal justice system in Pennsylvania, and this grant program is a direct step towards achieving that by ensuring accurate and comprehensive crime reporting. The theory of change is that by providing financial and technical support for NIBRS implementation, agencies will be empowered to improve their data reporting, leading to better informed policy decisions and enhanced public safety outcomes.

The United States Department of the Interior (Department), Bureau of Reclamations (Reclamation) Desalination and Water Purification Research Program (DWPR) works with Reclamation researchers and partners to develop innovative, cost-effective, and technologically efficient ways to desalinate and treat water. DWPR funding plays a critical role in iterating an idea from the lab to a real-world demonstration, yielding products that serve the water treatment community and attract commercialization interest. Reclamation is interested in research where the benefits are widespread but where private-sector entities are not able to make the full investment and assume all the risks. Reclamation is also interested in research that has a national significancewhere the issues are of large-scale concern and the benefits accrue to a large sector of the public. The goal of the DWPR program is to address the need to reduce the costs, energy requirements, and environmental impacts of treating impaired and unusable water. The program also aligns with Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, by investing in development and application of advanced water treatment technologies that expand access to otherwise unusable water resources, thereby increasing water supply flexibility under the risks of long-term climate change and shorter-term drought.

This grant program, offered by the Minnesota Department of Education, aims to support the Minnesota's LSTA Five-Year Plan (2023-2027) by funding projects that align with Goals A, B, and C. The overarching mission is to reduce barriers to access, promote equity, showcase libraries' contributions to the community, and empower Minnesota's library workforce. This aligns with the state's broader strategic priorities of closing racial and economic achievement gaps and supporting the goals of the World's Best Workforce, as highlighted in Goal C. The target beneficiaries of this grant are legally established public libraries, library cooperatives or consortia, libraries in Minnesota’s public schools or public colleges and universities, and special libraries operated by Minnesota registered 501(c)(3) organizations. The impact goals are centered around increasing collective impact through coalition building (Goal A), reimagining access through partnerships (Goal B), and changing the narrative to better showcase libraries' vital contributions to thriving communities (Goal C). The program prioritizes and focuses on new projects that can serve as models or pilots. However, it also considers new phases of existing projects or ongoing projects that reach new audiences, incorporate new methods, or significantly expand their reach. Collaboration and partnerships with community-based organizations are highly encouraged, reflecting a strategic priority to leverage collective efforts for greater impact, though not a strict requirement for application. Expected outcomes and measurable results are tied to the achievement of the LSTA Five-Year Plan's goals, particularly in areas like reducing access barriers and promoting equity. While specific metrics are not detailed in the provided text, the focus on "changing the narrative" and "increasing collective impact" suggests qualitative and quantitative improvements in community engagement, library service utilization, and workforce development. The grant period from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, provides a timeframe for achieving these outcomes, with grant awards ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 to support these initiatives.
