Key Dates: The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation will hold two pre-proposal webinars at 3 p.m. EDT on June 2, 2025 and 3 p.m. EDT of June 12, 2025, to review goals and objectives of this Notice of Funding Opportunity and answer questions from interested respondents. Details about participation in the pre-proposal webinars are available at the Community Noise Mitigation Program link (https://oldcc.gov/our-programs/community-noise-mitigation). Complete proposals for Community Noise Mitigation Program grants must be submitted to the funding opportunity number on Grants.gov by 5 p.m. PDT on July 9, 2025 (the Proposal Deadline). After the Proposal Deadline is reached, the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation will screen proposals to ensure completeness and eligibility. Complete proposals from eligible entities will be referred to a Community Noise Mitigation Program Review Panel to evaluate against the criteria in Section E., paragraph 1. of this Notice. The Review Panel will submit a final proposal ranking to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations and Environment for approval. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations and Environment will return an approved list to the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation Director to invite a formal grant application in August 2025. Once an application is approved and finalized, the Director will issue a grant award to the proposer (Grantee), which the Grantee must countersign. Generally, a Grantee will have five (5) years after the date of the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation award to expend the funds.
