Opportunity Summary:
The FY16 Region IV Wetland Program Development Grants (Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG04 16 02) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to help strengthen wetland programs run by government entities. The focus is on projects that build, improve, or refine state, tribal, and local government wetland programs, consistent with the wetland program development objectives described in the announcement's funding opportunity description. Awards may be made as either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning EPA may fund projects through a standard grant arrangement or through a cooperative agreement structure where the agency typically has more involvement during the project.
Eligibility is limited to government-related applicants. Eligible applicants include states, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia. Universities can apply only if they are officially part of a state government (for example, a public university system that is legally chartered as a state agency), and proposals must include documentation proving that status. Non-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible to apply under this request for proposals, which is an important restriction for partnerships that might otherwise rely on non-profit applicants as the lead organization.
The program is categorized under environmental funding and is tied to CFDA number 66.461. EPA anticipated making up to 10 awards under this competition, with an award ceiling of $250,000 per award. The opportunity was created and posted on March 15, 2016, and the application deadline was April 29, 2016 (with no change between the original and current closing dates).
