Minority Business Development

[Docket No. 000322079–0079–01]

RIN 0640–ZA06

Solicitation of Applications for the

Minority Business Capital Access

Policy Institute

AGENCY: Minority Business

Development Agency, U.S. Department

of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Executive

Order 11625 and 15 U.S.C. 1512, the

Minority Business Development Agency

(MBDA) is soliciting competitive

applications from organizations seeking

to establish a Minority Business Capital

Access Policy Institute. All information

required for submission of a grant

application by eligible applicants is

contained in this announcement.

The MBDA provides business

development services to minority

entrepreneurs through different types of

programs. Each program is designed to

focus on the unique business problems

of a specific market. MBDA’s programs

form a national business delivery

network that addresses the needs of

minority entrepreneurs throughout the

United States. Currently, there is very

limited information on the minority

business community, especially with

respect to capital demand and usage. To

support the development of minority

businesses and encourage informed

decision-making by both the public and

private sectors, it is critical to collect

and analyze quantitative information on

the capital needs of these businesses.

MBDA will therefore provide seed

funding for the planning, development

and establishment of the Minority

Business Capital Access Policy Institute

(‘‘MBCAPI’’ or ‘‘Institute’’), a research

and advocacy institute focused on
