John Lewis is notified that organizations within the 5th Congressional District have been selected to receive a variety of federal grants.\u00a0 This federal grants announcement will advise press and constituents of these notifications.\u00a0 This announcement details about $52,375,818 in federal grants coming to the 5th Congressional District.\nWhat is the funding process for federal grants?\nThere are two basic ways the federal government awards funds, through mandatory funding or discretionary funding.\u00a0 Members of Congress vote on \u201cauthorizing\u201d legislation that funds the mandatory commitments of the federal government for programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance and SNAP.\u00a0 Also every year, levels of discretionary funding are determined during the Congressional appropriations process.\u00a0 Rep. Lewis and all other members of Congress work to ensure that federal programs which provide key services within their districts are funded at levels requested by local government authorities and constituents they represent.\u00a0 \u00a0\nThe federal grants announced by this release fall mainly in the discretionary category. \u00a0The money appropriated by Congress is sent to the federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which then disburse it directly to the states and local governments.\u00a0 Sometimes federal agencies issue requests for proposals which place states, cities, and local organizations in competition with others around the country for the opportunity to gain federal support for a local project.\u00a0 This is where the efficacy of city and state organizations are tested to determine whether they can compete effectively to receive those funds. Rep. Lewis often meets with and advises city, state or local agencies to help them strategize effective methods of engaging the federal agencies throughout the grant process.\nPell Grants, Byrne Justice Assistance, veterans\u2019 services, LIHEAP home heating support, early education, COPS, YouthBuild, Jobs Corps, the CDC, minority health programs, TIGER, critical disease research initiatives, tenant and fair housing assistance all stem from Congressional discretionary funding.\u00a0 Recent successful discretionary grant efforts from the 5th Congressional District of Georgia include the Atlanta Streetcar, the Multimodal Passenger Terminal, the Atlanta BeltLine, and the UTC.\u00a0 Through his District Office, Rep. Lewis offers grants assistance and workshops to explain the federal grants process.\u00a0 Please call 404-659-0116 if you are interested in participating in one of these workshops.\u00a0\nFollowing is the list of the most recently granted federal funds to the 5th Congressional District. If you are seeking more information about any one of these federal grants, please consult the granting information for more details on their selection process. Grants over $500,000 are highlighted.\nThis is to inform you that the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S. Department of Transportation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of Energy will be announcing\u00a0the following grant award(s) to recipient(s) within your

Woods, Georgia Tech Research Corporation\nGrant Project Title: Understanding drivers and impacts of CGCM biases in representing the decadal variability of Labrador Sea convection\nAmount: $232,012\nAdditional Details:\nThe overarching objectives of this project are to diagnose the sources of CGCMs biases in the LS focusing on a subset of CMIP5 runs and to quantify the impacts of those biases on the representation of carbon uptake and inventories in the basin. They will be achieved through a sensitivity study to be performed using regional ocean-only ROMS simulations covering most of the North Atlantic forced by momentum, heat and freshwater fluxes, and/or boundary conditions from the CMIP5 runs.This project will establish cause-effect linkages between the representation of mesoscale processes, of the atmospheric forcing fields, and of the gyre circulation, and the (modeled) Labrador Sea circulation, its variability and carbon uptake characteristics. The regional simulations will include an ocean biogeochemical and carbon cycling module. The interpretation of all model analysis will be aided by careful comparisons with shipboard and Argo measurements in the Labrador Sea, and along 53N. In this regard we will build upon our ongoing collaboration with Dr I. Yashayeav at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. This project will contribute a better understanding of the potential predictability of Labrador Sea convection and of the natural and anthropogenically forced variability of the AMOC.This proposal addresses the objective of the NOAA funding opportunity, CVP AMOC-Climate Linkages in the North and/or South Atlantic (NOAA-OAR-CPO-2016-2004413) to refine the current scientific understanding of the AMOC state, variability and change by focusing on the interannual and decadal variability for the LS branch. The proposed work contributes to three priorities identified in the US AMOC 2014 report and advances the NOAAs Next-Generation Strategic Plan to improve scientific understanding of the changing climate system by diagnosing the physical and biogeochemical biases in the CGCMs that are used in the future prediction and projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.\nGrant Recipient: Ms. Stefanie Nagid, Georgia Department of Natural Resources\nGrant Project Title: Georgia Coastal Management Program Cycle 19\nAmount: $2,385,000\nAdditional Details:\nGeorgia Coastal Management Program Cycle 19 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is providing ongoing funding through the National Coastal Zone Management Program to the State of Georgia to help administer the states federally approved coastal management program. The National Coastal Zone Management Program, under the Coastal Zone Management Act, is an important voluntary federal-state partnership that protects, restores, and responsibly develops our nations coastal communities and resources by balancing economic development, coastal uses, and natural resource protection. NOAAs investment of $2,385,000 is leveraging $2,125,000 in state, local, and private funds. These funds will support jobs and provide continued assistance to the Georgia coastal management program to address many important coastal issues in the state including coastal hazards, public access, land conservation, water quality, and coastal community development. For example, one project will improve disaster resiliency in the eleven-county coastal region of Georgia by helping local governments take advantage of existing tools and implement activities that improve resilience while reducing their flood insurance premiums. The funding supports two of the most at-risk communities for flooding, where property owners are among the most economically disadvantaged in the region, allowing the county and city to complete all the necessary steps to become a full participant in the Community Rating System (CRS) program. The funding also supports ongoing coastal policy, planning, permitting, enforcement, water quality monitoring, technical assistance, and communication and outreach programs/activities. The award is also supporting new initiatives such as a multi-year effort to assist coastal communities by fostering awareness and understanding of the role of natural resources in protecting citizens from the effects of natural disasters. In particular, the benefits of utilizing green (natural) infrastructure to reduce flood risk.\nGrant Recipient: Ms. Shirley Hall, Georgia Department of Natural Resources\nGrant Project Title: Assessment of the demographic recovery criteria for the Norther Recovery Unit of loggerhead turtles using genetic mark-recapture including implementation of high priority recovery actions.\nAmount: $503,109\nAdditional Details:\nAssessment of the demographic recovery criteria for the Norther Recovery Unit of loggerhead turtles using genetic mark-recapture including implementation of high priority recovery actions. The Northwest Atlantic Ocean Distinct Population Segment of loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, is one of the two largest nesting aggregations globally. It is therefore critical to species conservation at regional and global scales. The Northern Recovery Unit (NRU) represents a geographically and genetically distinct subpopulation and encompasses the northernmost range of nesting in the U.S. The proposed research will address critical recovery actions necessary to assess the status of NRU loggerhead turtles and will estimate important demographic variables required for population modeling and prioritization of recovery actions. Recovery action objectives include: 1) Estimate nesting female population size, clutch frequency and remigration intervals, 2) Estimate adult female recruitment and survival and compare among females using three major foraging areas, 3) Develop demographic and scenario planning models to forecast population-level responses to conservation and management scenarios, 4) Compare phenology, nest site fidelity, clutch size, and clutch frequency of neophyte and remigrant females, 5) Evaluate the effects of foraging area choice on nesting phenology, clutch size, clutch frequency, and remigration interval, 6) Reassess the southern boundary of the NRU by including northeast Florida, and 7) Develop an optimal subsampling protocol for efficient long-term monitoring.High priority recovery actions addressed include: a) Refine geographic boundaries of recovery units [111, priority 2], b) Monitor trends in nesting [122, priority 1], c) Incorporate standardized nesting survey protocols on additional beaches to fully represent recovery units [123, priority 2], d) Conduct periodic censuses for the recovery units to obtain total nest counts and geographic distribution of nesting [125, priority 2], e) Estimate indices of abundance and determine trends [132, priority 2], f) Determine and monitor clutch frequency [153, priority 2], g) Determine and monitor remigration interval [154, priority 2], and h) Determine age-specific survival probabilities [1614, priority 2].\n\u00a0\nAny questions regarding this notification should be addressed to NOAA\u2019s Headquarters at (202) 482-6090.\n\u00a0\nNational Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) \nGrant Recipient: Trees Atlanta, Inc.\nGrant Project Title: Enota Park and Proctor Creek Restoration (GA)\nAmount: N/A\nAdditional Details: Trees Atlanta and partners will remove six acres of invasive species and trash, replant native species to stabilize slopes and streambanks, and highlight the project through adult and youth education programming.
