The purpose of the PACE Program is to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in Registered Apprenticeship programs. These pre-apprenticeship programs have a documented partnership with at least one Registered Apprenticeship program sponsor that is committed to hiring from the pre-apprenticeship program within 18 months from the start of the contract period of performance, and together, they expand the participant's career pathway opportunities with industry-based training coupled with classroom instruction. The program will drive economic development through skills and educational attainment and create pathways to better-paying careers and advanced credentials. The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Office of Apprenticeship seeks to encourage the growth of career pathway opportunities for people disconnected from employment, training, and education. Within the workforce development system, pre-apprenticeships serve a critical role for people to acquire career-specific skills, advance work-readiness, and connect them to longer-term career opportunities. Eligible applicants can apply for funding up to $8,000 per participant.

The Small Business Improvement Fund (SBIF) provides reimbursement grant funding for permanent building improvements and repairs across the city. Offered by the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) to tenants and owners of industrial and commercial properties, SBIF grants are funded by Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues in designated TIF districts citywide. Program participants can receive grants to cover between 30 percent and 90 percent of the cost of remodeling work, with a maximum grant of $150,000 for commercial properties and $250,000 for industrial properties. The grant, which is administered by SomerCor on the City’s behalf, does not have to be repaid.

The Chicago Neighborhood Opportunity Fund (NOF) provides small business and cultural projects located along commercial corridors on Chicago's West, Southwest, and South Sides with capital development grants of up to $250,000 to fund permanent capital improvements. Administered by the City of Chicago's Department of Planning and Development (DPD), the program reimburses up to 75 percent of eligible project expenses. The fund is uniquely resourced through fees paid by downtown construction projects via the DPD's Neighborhood Opportunity Bonus program, effectively channeling downtown development activity into direct reinvestment in historically under-invested neighborhoods. Applicants may also qualify for additional funding for Technical Assistance to support project design and delivery. Eligible project types include commercial projects (such as office and retail uses), cultural projects (museums, theaters, and performance venues), nonprofit projects with an on-site commercial component, and commercial components of industrial uses. Eligible expenses include new construction, storefront buildouts, facade repair and window or door replacement, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work, roof repairs, acquisition costs (as part of a larger construction or renovation project), and soft costs such as design and technical assistance. NOF does not award grants for the construction or rehabilitation of residential uses, manufacturing uses, industrial uses, or places of worship that do not identify commercial as the primary use of a project. To qualify, projects must be located on an eligible or priority corridor within Chicago's West, Southwest, or South Side commercial areas. Applicants can confirm whether their property qualifies by contacting the NOF program directly. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through the City of Chicago's Submittable online portal and are evaluated quarterly. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to attend a grant information session before submitting materials to better understand eligibility, application requirements, and the review process. Grants exceeding $250,000 are available through DPD's separate Community Development Grant (CDG) program, which offers Medium ($300,001 to $5,000,000) and Large ($5,000,000 and above) grant tiers for more significant commercial, cultural, and mixed-use development projects.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) is designed to encourage and facilitate the entry of investigators to the area of brain imaging research. This NOFO will support both newly independent investigators and established investigators who are seeking to develop and adopt neuroimaging tools and methodologies in their research programs and conduct small "proof-of-concept" studies relevant to substance use disorders and addiction. This NOFO is intended to support Small Research Grant (R03) projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources.
