May Funding Focus Newsletter Special Release
What is a Limited Submission?
A limited submission solicitation (RFA, RFP, etc.) places a cap on the number of proposals that Auburn may submit to a sponsor. Auburn coordinates limited submissions by sending out a notification via this newsletter and creating competitions in the Auburn University Competition Space (also known as InfoReady). To apply to any limited submission posted in this newsletter, click on the link below and search for your competition listed on the page. Please refer to the Limited Submission Procedures page for a general list of requirements. However, it is recommended that you go to the specific competition as soon as possible and review the requirements to ensure that you are preparing what is requested since the required information for competitions may vary.
Limited Submission Announcement

Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) is accepting applications for grants proposing to carry out financial and technical assistance programs in Persistent Poverty Counties. These grants will be made to qualified intermediary organizations that will provide financial and technical assistance to recipients to develop their capacity and ability to undertake projects related to housing, community facilities, or community and economic development that will support the community. The recipients will, in turn, provide programs that will support their communities (beneficiaries).
 
The Agency encourages applicants to consider projects that will advance the following key priorities:
 
  • Reducing climate pollution and increasing resilience to the impacts of climate change through economic support to rural communities
  • Ensuring all rural residents have equitable access to RD programs and benefits from RD funded projects; and
  • Assisting rural communities recover economically through more and better market opportunities and through improved infrastructure.
