Dominican Republic Explores the Potential of Rare Earths in the Avila Mining Fiscal Reserve with IDB Support
October 16, 2026
WASHINGTON -- The Board of Executive Directors of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) approved $16.1 million in financing to assess the potential development of the rare earths in the Avila Mining Fiscal Reserve (RFMA) in the Dominican Republic.
The program will finance a comprehensive set of technical, environmental, social, economic, financial, legal, and infrastructurestudies to prepare a prefeasibility study of the RFMA rare earths deposit.
The program is part of the IDB Group's regional initiative America en el Centro, which promotes sustainable development, resilience, and integration in Central America, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. The program is also aligned with IDB LAC Minerals, which seeks to transform the region's mineral wealth into sustainable growth by promoting secure and responsible value chains.
The operation will strengthen the government's institutional capacity to generate technical information and manage priority mineral resource projects.
The presence of relevant geological indications and the strategic importance of rare earths present an opportunity that requires rigorous assessment. Determining the deposit's viability and its potential contribution to the economy and public revenues will require a deeper understanding of the resource, as well as stronger institutional capacity to assess and manage projects of this nature.
In this context, the operation will strengthen the technical and management capacities of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) and Empresa Minera Dominicana, S.A. (EMIDOM). Both institutions will have access to reliable and robust information to assess the deposit, inform strategic decision-making, and manage mineral resource projects in accordance with international standards.
The program will also strengthen environmental and social safeguards and promote a development model that combines responsible mining with sustainability and environmental stewardship.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 -- The Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Assistance issued the following news release:

SBA Offers Relief to Indiana Businesses, Private Nonprofits, Residents Affected by Adverse Weather
*
WASHINGTON --The U.S. Small Business Administration announced the availability of low- interest federal disaster loans for Indiana businesses, private nonprofits, and residents affected by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flash flooding occurring June 6 - 26. The SBA issued a disaster declaration in response to an Oct. 9 request received from GovernorMike Braun.
The declaration covers the Indiana counties of Clark, Crawford, Dubois, Elkhart, Floyd, Gibson, Harrison, Jasper, Jefferson, Jennings, Knox, Kosciusko, Lagrange, Lake, Marshall, Newton, Noble, Pike, Porter, Posey, Ripley, Scott, Spencer, St. Joseph, Switzerland, Vanderburgh, Warrick, and Washington, the Illinois counties of Cook, Kankakee, Wabash, White, and Will, the Kentucky counties of Carroll, Daviess, Hardin, Henderson, Jefferson, Meade, and Trimble, as well as the Michigan counties of Cass and St. Joseph, which are eligible for both physical damage loans and Economic Injury Disaster Loans from SBA.
Businesses and private nonprofits are eligible to apply for business physical disaster loans and may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace disaster-damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets.
Applicants may also be eligible for a loan increase of up to 20% of their physical damage, as verified by SBA, for mitigation purposes. Eligible mitigation improvements include strengthening structures to protect against high wind damage, upgrading to wind rated garage doors, and installing a safe room or storm shelter to help protect property and occupants from future damage.
"When disasters strike, SBA's Disaster Loan Outreach Centers perform an important role by assisting small businesses and their communities," said Chris Stallings, Associate Administrator of the Office of Disaster Recovery at SBA. "At these centers, our specialists help business owners and residents apply for disaster loans and learn about the full range of programs available to support their recovery."
The SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, and private nonprofits -- including faith-based organizations -- impacted by financial losses directly related to this disaster. The SBA is unable to provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers, except for aquaculture enterprises.
EIDLs are for working capital needs caused by the disaster and are available even if the business did not suffer any physical damage. The loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills which could not be paid due to the disaster.
Interest rates are as low as 4% for businesses, 3.625% for private nonprofits, and 3.00% for homeowners and renters, with terms up to 30 years. Interest does not begin to accrue, and payments are not due until 12 months from the date of the first loan disbursement. The SBA determines eligibility and sets loan amounts and terms based on each applicant's financial condition.
Beginning today, Oct. 16, SBA customer service representatives will be on hand at the Disaster Loan Outreach Centers in Harrison, Gibson, Jefferson, and Elkhart counties to answer questions about SBA's disaster loan program, explain the application process, and help individuals complete their application. Walk-ins are welcome, and you can schedule an in-person appointment in advance at appointment.sba.gov.

SBA Announces $1.05 Million in Grant Awards for Specialized Veteran Entrepreneurship Training
Programs Will Further Equip Veteran Entrepreneurs to Support America's Industrial Strength
October 14, 2026
WASHINGTON -- Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced $1.05 million in grants to five organizations for new entrepreneurial training programs focused on veteran business ownership and growth in sectors vital to America's supply chains, industrial strength, and economic resilience.Operating through April 30, 2027, the programs will combine industry-specific instruction with practical support in corporate supply-chain procurement, business acquisition, procurement for specialized industries, and regenerative farming and ranching--equipping veteran entrepreneurs for new opportunities while strengthening America's domestic capacity.
"Veterans are among our most effective entrepreneurs in critical sectors across our economy, and the Trump SBA is fighting for those who fought for our country by offering more resources to strengthen America's production capacity," said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. "By pairing specialized training with practical business support, our grant funding will position veteran entrepreneurs to become essential suppliers across industry and agriculture--building the domestic capacity America needs to compete and reducing reliance on foreign adversaries."
The grant awards have been awarded to the following organizations:
* National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA): $150,000 for training in Corporate Supply Chain Procurement.
* Owners in Honor & Vet to CEO: $200,000 each ($400,000 total) to provide training and technical assistance in Business Acquisition.
* National Veteran Small Business Coalition (NVSBC): $250,000 for Procurement Training for Specialized Industries.
* The Utah Veteran Business Resource Center at Salt Lake Community College (VBRC): $250,000 for Veteran Entrepreneurship Training in Regenerative Farming and Ranching.
The awards build on the SBA's recent investments in veteran entrepreneurship, including a $3.75 million grant over five years for nationwide training that will prepare veteran-owned small businesses to compete for federal contracts, and nearly $4.9 million in grants over five years to establish new Veterans Business Outreach Centers.
These latest grants will bolster the SBA Office of Veterans Business Development's efforts to provide specialized resources and training for veteran-owned small businesses across the country. Through its Entrepreneurship Training Programs, the Office of Veterans Business Development provides customized online and in-person training to help veteran entrepreneurs develop the skills, relationships, and business knowledge needed to start, manage, and sustain small businesses, including in federal contracting. The office also provides resources, counseling, and training opportunities for veterans, service members, National Guard and Reserve members, military spouses, and their families.

Severe health events are among the most common shocks households face, and in low- and middle-income countries their consequences are absorbed largely within the family. We study how a parents severe illness affects adolescents' education in Chile. Using linked administrative records for the universe of school-age children and quasi-random variation inthe occurrence and timing of parents first cancer hospitalizations, we compare exposed students with untreated classmates in a stacked difference-in-differences design. The shock reduces school enrollment and attendance and raises chronic absenteeism, with effects that persist for up to four years and roughly double for high-severity cancers. Disruptions are substantially larger for girls, consistent with caregiving and household responsibilities falling disproportionately on them. The educational response varies little with households' pre-shock labor market position, and children's hospitalizations do not rise. These findings point to an intergenerational cost of parental illness and a role for social protection in mitigating it.

* * *
This paper examines how external demand fluctuations transmit asymmetrically to labor market outcomes in Latin America a region where structural informality and institutional rigidity shape the margins of employment adjustment. Using a balanced panel of 16 countries from 2001 to 2019, we estimate asymmetric impulse-response functions via localprojections with long differences, disaggregating labor market responses by employment category following the ICSE-93 classification. Results reveal a fundamental asymmetry: wage employment does not respond to positive external demand episodes but contracts significantly during negative ones, while self-employment exhibits a countercyclical pattern declining during expansions and expanding as a buffer during downturns. Unemployment plays a minimal role in the adjustment process. Subgroup analyses document substantial heterogeneity within the region: economies with more flexible labor markets and higher trade openness adjust faster and through formal employment margins, while less flexible and more closed economies rely predominantly on self-employment, with more persistent effects. These findings highlight labor market duality and institutional rigidity as the primary conditioners of asymmetric employment adjustment to external demand fluctuations in Latin America, with implications for the design of policies aimed at building more resilient and inclusive labor markets.

Astronomer Liam Connor Awarded Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering
The 20 early-career scientists, mathematicians, and engineers will each receive $985,834 over five years to pursue their research.
-
Cambridge, MA (Oct. 15, 2026)---Astronomer Liam Connor of the Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian has been named a 2026 Packard Fellow for Science and Engineering by the David & Lucile Packard Foundation. He will receive $985,834 in unrestricted fundsover five years to pursue his research.
Connor is assistant professor in the Harvard Department of Astronomy and a cosmologist working on fast radio bursts (FRBs), mysterious pulses of radio waves that come from galaxies billions of light years beyond the Milky Way. In addition to the enigma of their physical origin, FRBs can be used as a cosmic beacon, probing matter that is otherwise invisible. To understand these sources and apply them to cosmology, Connor's lab builds radio telescope arrays comprised of many small antennas, acting as a single phased array.
This year's Packard Fellows class features 20 early-career scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Each year, the Foundation invites 50 universities to nominate two faculty members for consideration. The Packard Fellowships Advisory Panel, a group of 12 internationally recognized scientists and engineers, evaluates the nominations and recommends Fellows for approval by the Packard Foundation Board of Trustees.
"These scientists, engineers, and mathematicians are asking ambitious questions about our bodies, our planet, and the technologies shaping our future," said Nancy Lindborg, President and CEO of the Packard Foundation. "At a time of significant uncertainty in the research landscape, flexible, long-term support for early-career researchers matters more than ever."
Since 1988, the Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering have supported transformative work by providing unrestricted funds, giving Fellows the freedom to follow the science wherever it leads. Fellows decide what their research needs, whether that is new equipment, another researcher on the team, travel to a conference, or child care during the demanding early years of running a lab. That flexibility lets Fellows test novel ideas, follow unexpected findings, and lead research that drives real-world impact.
The Foundation expanded its support for Fellows this year, announcing an additional increase in Fellowship awards beginning with the 2027 class, providing Fellows with greater support to pursue their research. Earlier in 2026, the Foundation also created the Packard Fellows Emergency Relief Fund, a $3.3 million rapid-response effort administered by the Science Philanthropy Alliance that helped 42 Fellows sustain their research teams through disruptions in federal funding.
The other recipients of the 2026 Packard Fellowships for Science and Engineering are:
Christopher Anderson, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Soumitra Athavale, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Los Angeles
Andrea Bajcsy, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University
