Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Region 7 Air and Waste Management Division (AWMD), released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "2009 Tribal Radon Projects in Region 7" under CFDA 66.032, State and Tribal Indoor Radon Project Grants. The purpose of the solicitation is to support Tribal efforts to address indoor radon risks through projects carried out in EPA Region 7. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate indoors and is a well-established public health concern, so the emphasis of the program is on practical, on-the-ground activities that reduce exposure and improve awareness and capacity in Tribal communities.
Funding is limited and competitive. EPA Region 7 set an estimated total of $25,000 available for awards under this announcement, and it planned to make no more than two awards. Individual assistance agreements were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $10,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $25,000 in total federal share, meaning the award could cover the full approved project budget up to those limits. The announcement states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which is important for applicants that may not have readily available non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility is centered on federally recognized Native American tribal governments, with some additional eligibility nuance referenced in the full announcement. A key condition is that the proposed work must be performed within one or more of the four states covered by EPA Region 7: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. However, the applicant itself does not have to be physically located within Region 7 boundaries; what matters is that the project activities take place in the Region 7 states listed above. The solicitation directs applicants to consult Section III of the full announcement for the complete eligibility language and any additional eligible applicant categories described there.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on January 13, 2009, with an application deadline (closing date) of March 2, 2009, and an archive date of April 1, 2009. The funding opportunity number is EPA R7AWMD 09 001. The EPA noted that applicants should refer to the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the official submission instructions, allowable submission methods, and any detailed due-date requirements (for example, whether there are specific time-of-day deadlines or required forms and attachments).
For prospective applicants needing help obtaining the full announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically, EPA Region 7 provided direct contact points: Robert Dye at (913) 551-7605 and Chester Stovall at (913) 551-7549. These contacts were intended to support basic access and process questions so Tribes could properly prepare and submit proposals that meet the Region 7 radon project goals and the grant requirements.
