Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Region 7 Air and Waste Management Division (AWMD), issued a discretionary grant opportunity titled "2009 Indoor Air Quality Projects in Region 7" (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-R7AWMD-09-002). The opportunity falls under CFDA 66.034, which supports surveys, studies, investigations, demonstrations, and other special-purpose activities related to the Clean Air Act. The EPA noted that projects funded under this announcement may involve geospatial information, meaning applicants could potentially use mapping or location-based data to assess conditions, target interventions, or document results.
The program is focused specifically on improving indoor air quality (IAQ) outcomes in EPA Region 7, and all funded work must take place in one or more of the following states: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. EPA Region 7 is seeking proposals that align with two priority areas. The first priority is providing assistance that supports adoption and use of the EPA "IAQ Tools for Schools" program, which is designed to help schools implement practical, low-cost steps to identify, reduce, and prevent indoor air quality problems. The second priority area is education related to indoor asthma triggers and exposures, emphasizing activities that help people understand common triggers, reduce exposure, and improve health outcomes for individuals with asthma, particularly in indoor environments.
Approximately $140,000 in total funding was available under this announcement. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $60,000. The funding instrument type is a grant, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which generally makes participation more accessible for organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility was broad and included a mix of governmental, educational, and tribal entities. Examples of eligible applicants listed include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. The announcement also references an "Others" category, with the instruction to consult Section III of the full announcement for clarification and any additional eligibility conditions or limitations.
Key dates for the opportunity indicate it was posted and created on March 11, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 5, 2009. The archive date was June 4, 2009.
