Fund for Excellence and Innovation
The Fund for Excellence and Innovation (FFEI) was established during the 2016 legislative session to focus on two primary activities: stimulate collaborations among public school divisions, community colleges and universities and to expand affordable student pathways; and pursue shared services and other efficiency initiatives at colleges and universities that lead to measurable cost reductions.
between secondary and post-secondary education (and/or within post-secondary education) in AI-related student outreach, academic integration, labor-market alignment and/or shared services for institutions of higher education and/or K-12 institutions; assess the impact of the supported activities; and share the results. Some activities may include leveraging AI to retool current programs to attract nontraditional learners, broaden credentialing options (including stackable micro-credentials), or scaling existing projects for broader impact. The goal will be furthering the readiness of current and future students for work and life involving artificial intelligence.
within Virginia postsecondary education (and/or between Virginia secondary and postsecondary education) to support the integration of AI in instructional and student support. This integration may include professional development to bridge gaps in expertise among faculty, student support services that provide AI training or AI tools and resources, stackable micro-credentials/micro-badging opportunities, efforts to shorten time to degree/credential, supports for nontraditional learners (e.g., retooling programs for shorter semesters to support adult learners), efforts to reduce transfer curricular complexity (i.e., identifying the most efficient course sequence along the two- and four-year curricular pathway), analysis of credit for prior learning and alignment to transfer pathways (e.g., Military experience, AP, CLEP), or other similar projects and initiatives.
The scholarships and fellowships provide recipients with the opportunity to attend and explore the operation of the field at the NRPA Annual Conference. A primary focus is to inspire future participation and leadership in NRPA and to develop professional contacts with leadership and members from around the nation.

GO Virginia Program Overview
GO Virginia is a collaborative economic development initiative, that provides project-based incentives to encourage collaboration between private industry, higher education and local government in each region to produce results that will grow and diversify the regional economies and ultimately the commonwealth.
To achieve the program goals, the GO Virginia State Board has created nine regional councils. These councils are responsible for developing regional Growth and Diversification Plans and implementing those plans through the submission of project applications. Applications approved at the regional level are advanced to the GO Virginia State Board for funding.
The GO Virginia State Board has identified four primary investment strategies to achieve the program goals. The four priority investment strategies are:
All successful projects should align with at least one of these strategies and demonstrate a clear connection to a region’s Growth & Diversification Plan. See the GO Virginia Program Manual for details.
Virginia Growth and Opportunity Fund (GO Virginia) Regional Per Capita Implementation Grants
Regional Implementation Grants support ready-to-execute, high-impact regional projects that advance a region’s Growth and Diversification Plan and move beyond planning into implementation. These projects are designed to grow and diversify regional economies through activities that support one of the GO Virginia investment strategies of talent development, site readiness, entrepreneurship & Innovation, or accelerate the development of emerging industry clusters.
Projects are expected to have industry focus and deliver measurable economic outcomes and demonstrate readiness to begin implementation upon approval. They must demonstrate strong support from local units of government, industry partners, educational institutions, or other relevant entities/organizations. Projects must add value and not duplicate existing efforts. Coordination with local, regional, and private-sector partners is essential.

Logger Best Management Practice (BMP) Cost-Share Program
The Importance of Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The implementation of forestry best management practices (BMPs) during timber harvests is essential to protect water quality in Virginia. BMPs keep sediment movement on site to a minimum with the ultimate goal of keeping sediment associated with the timber harvest from moving to a watercourse.
Cost-Share Program
This program focuses cost-share funding provided by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Water Quality Improvement Fund to the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF)to assist in those areas of a timber harvest that can potentially deliver sediment to a stream. The Logger BMP Cost-Share Program helps cover the cost of implementing best management practices on stream crossings, including labor, equipment, and material costs on timber harvests in Virginia.
Program funding is available on a first-come-first-serve basis. The program runs from July 1 to June 30 each year.
The cost-share will provide up to 75% of the actual cost, not to exceed $8,000, for BMP implementation at the stream crossing and, if the crossing requires the purchase of a portable bridge, the maximum increases to $16,000. A logger can have two projects per program year, only one of which can be a bridge purchase; total cost-share not to exceed $24,000 per program year per tax identification entity.
Virginia Economic Development Partnership
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s official economic development authority and has offices in Virginia, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea.

Working with state, regional and local partners, VEDP supports business expansion, attraction and investment through services that span site readiness, incentives, global trade and strategic planning.
Commonwealth’s Development Opportunity Fund (COF)
The Commonwealth’s Development Opportunity Fund (COF) is a “deal-closing” fund to be employed at the Governor’s discretion to secure a company location or expansion in Virginia. Administered by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP), the COF serves as a final resource for Virginia in the face of serious competition from other states or countries.
The COF grant is a negotiated amount determined by the Secretary of Commerce and Trade, based on the recommendation of VEDP, and subject to approval of the Governor.
Highlights
The program offers a cash grant to offset/reimburse qualifying project-related costs such as site acquisition and development, transportation access, utility extension or capacity development, construction or build-out of buildings, or training.
A grant is awarded to a local government on behalf of the company. The local government is required to enter into a performance agreement with the company before it may receive the grant award.

Transforming Federal Work-Study and On-Campus Jobs Program
Recognizing the diversity of Virginia’s higher education institutions and the fact that institutions are at various stages in the process, the intent of this call for applications is to support institutions wherever they are at in their journey to transform federal work-study (FWS) jobs and/or on-campus jobs to be internships/more internship-like while adhering to federal policy requirements for FWS.
The grants can be used for implementation planning, piloting or scaling transformed FWS programs and/or on-campus jobs, depending on where an institution is in the process.
Three competitive grant tracks for funding will be offered to meet an institution wherever they are at in the process; the tracks are summarized below. Institutions do not have to start at the beginning (implementation planning) unless necessary; otherwise they apply for the stage they are in or about to undertake.
Institutions that operate Federal Work-Study (FWS) programs must prioritize transforming their FWS positions but may also propose broader transformations of other on-campus jobs. Institutions without FWS programs may submit proposals under the tracks below focused on transforming on-campus positions to be more internship-like.
