Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Northeast Indiana Community Environmental Health Initiative (NICE) Asthma/Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS)/Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools (IAQ TfS) Community Based Projects grant was a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 5. It offered grant support for community-based projects aimed at reducing indoor air pollution risks in places where people spend significant time, especially homes and schools. The program was built around EPA indoor air resources, including the Asthma program, Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) reduction efforts, and the Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools (IAQ TfS) framework, with additional technical support and coordination from EPA to strengthen local capacity and ongoing initiatives.
The core purpose of the opportunity was to bolster local efforts to protect public health by addressing indoor air environmental hazards that contribute to asthma triggers and other respiratory or health problems. EPA emphasized practical, community-centered work that improves indoor air conditions where children and families live, learn, and play. The grant encouraged proposals that target the highest-need settings and prioritize actions likely to produce the greatest risk reduction. In other words, projects were expected to show a clear connection between identified indoor air hazards and measurable opportunities to reduce exposure and improve health outcomes, particularly for sensitive populations such as children with asthma.
Geographically, the funding was restricted to Northeast Indiana, specifically the following 18 counties: Adams, Allen, Blackford, DeKalb, Delaware, Elkhart, Grant, Huntington, Jay, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Madison, Noble, Randolph, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley. Proposed work needed to directly benefit communities within these counties, aligning with the NICE Initiative focus area.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) categorized under environmental activities and tied to CFDA 66.034, which covers surveys, studies, research, investigations, demonstrations, and special purpose activities relating to the Clean Air Act. EPA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $80,000. The announcement listed no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of award (though applicants could still propose leveraged resources as a strength of their project).
Eligibility was broad and included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and multiple levels of government such as city or township governments, state governments, county governments, and independent school districts. The notice also referenced additional eligibility clarification in the full announcement (Section III), indicating that other entity types could be eligible depending on the details provided there.
The opportunity was posted on April 13, 2010, with an application deadline of May 20, 2010, and it was archived on June 19, 2010. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the official submission methods and precise due-date instructions. For background and program context, EPA pointed applicants to its indoor air quality and asthma resources at www.epa.gov/iaq and www.epa.gov/asthma. The contact person listed for access issues with the full announcement was Helen Tsiapas Mollsen at EPA.
