Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ETA 25 32
The Workforce Data Quality Initiative (WDQI) Round 10 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA), focused on improving the quality, usability, and integration of workforce-related data at the state level. The program sits within the Employment, Labor and Training funding activity area (CFDA 17.261) and is designed to help states strengthen how they collect, manage, link, and use administrative data across workforce and related systems. In practical terms, WDQI funding is aimed at helping State Workforce Agencies build or enhance data infrastructure and analytic capacity so they can produce more reliable information for decision-making, performance management, service improvement, and evaluation of workforce programs.
This opportunity is listed as FOA ETA 25 32 and will make awards through a grant instrument. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $2,500,000 per grant, and ETA expects to make approximately five awards under this round. Only state governments are eligible applicants, meaning the intended applicants are state-level entities rather than local governments, nonprofit organizations, or educational institutions applying on their own. A key eligibility limitation applies to certain State Workforce Agencies: states with active WDQI grants running through June 30, 2026 are not eligible to apply in this round. Specifically, Colorado, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are identified as ineligible due to existing active WDQI awards.
The application deadline (original closing date) is May 27, 2025, and the opportunity was created on April 24, 2025. Prospective applicants are encouraged to monitor updates through Grants.gov by using the subscription feature associated with this specific funding opportunity announcement. For official questions about the FOA, ETA directs applicants and interested parties to email WDQIFOA-ETA-25-32@dol.gov.Apply for FOA ETA 25 32
