Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Region 7 Air Waste Management Division (AWMD), issued a discretionary grant solicitation titled "2010 Indoor Air Quality Projects in Region 7" (Funding Opportunity Number EPA-R7AWMD-10-001). This opportunity falls under CFDA 66.034, which supports surveys, studies, investigations, demonstrations, and other special-purpose activities related to the Clean Air Act. The overall purpose is to fund practical, on-the-ground indoor air quality (IAQ) efforts that improve public health outcomes, particularly in school and community settings.
The program is focused on two main priority areas. First, EPA is seeking projects that help organizations and schools adopt and implement EPA's IAQ Tools for Schools program, which is designed to improve indoor air quality management practices in educational environments. Second, EPA is looking for projects centered on education about indoor asthma triggers and exposure reduction, meaning applicants are expected to address common indoor factors that can worsen asthma (such as moisture and mold, dust mites, pests, pet dander, tobacco smoke, and certain chemical irritants) and provide outreach or training that helps people recognize and reduce these exposures. In practice, competitive proposals would likely involve activities such as training school staff or facility managers, helping districts set up IAQ management teams, conducting educational workshops for families and caregivers, creating or distributing asthma and IAQ educational materials, and demonstrating replicable approaches that other schools or communities in the region can adopt.
Projects funded under this announcement must take place within EPA Region 7, specifically in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and/or Nebraska. While applicants may be based elsewhere depending on eligibility details in the full announcement, the work itself has to benefit communities within those four states. The eligible applicant categories listed include independent school districts; city or township governments; county governments; state governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and other entities as described in the full announcement's eligibility section. This mix suggests EPA intended the competition to be accessible to a range of organizations that can influence indoor environments and public health, especially those connected to schools, local public services, and community education.
The total estimated funding available for the competition was approximately $145,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $60,000. Importantly, the notice indicates there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for smaller districts, tribes, and local governments that may not have discretionary funds available for match.
Key dates for the solicitation were straightforward. The opportunity was posted and created on February 23, 2010. The application deadline (original and current closing date) was April 12, 2010, with applicants instructed to consult the full announcement, including Section IV, for the specific submission methods and any detailed timing requirements. The opportunity was archived on May 12, 2010, which is consistent with a time-limited competitive grant cycle after the closing date.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or clarifying administrative details, EPA Region 7 provided two contacts: Greg Crable (913-551-7391) and Chester Stovall (913-551-7549).
