Opportunity Summary:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Office of Research and Development, announced a discretionary funding opportunity to support the planning and delivery of a technology and management training workshop specifically designed for biosolids regulators. The central purpose of the grant is to fund a recipient that can organize, prepare, and conduct a workshop that strengthens regulator knowledge and practical capacity around biosolids programs, with a strong emphasis on real-world regulatory and management issues. The workshop is intended to be collaborative, and the EPA highlights that meaningful participation from states, local government officials, and other stakeholders is essential to meeting the workshop goals.

This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the EPA expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The activity area is environmental, and the assistance listing is CFDA 66.510 (Surveys, Studies, Investigations and Special Purpose Grants within the Office of Research and Development). Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated.

A notable feature of this announcement is that awarded funds may be used not only to develop and run the workshop, but also to promote participation and cover travel expenses for non-federal personnel attending the training. This reflects the program goal of bringing the right mix of state and local regulators and other key non-federal participants into the room so that the training has broad reach and practical value. The EPA frames the expected beneficiaries as biosolids program coordinators, utilities, state and local governments, and additional stakeholder groups involved in biosolids oversight and management.

Eligibility is broad across public-sector and education entities, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The announcement also lists public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, individuals, and other eligible applicants as defined in the full notice, with the EPA directing applicants to Section III for specific eligibility conditions and clarifications.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted on May 12, 2009, with an application closing date of June 22, 2009, and an archive date of July 22, 2009. The funding opportunity number is EPA ORD NRMRL CI 09 07, and the title is Biosolids Regulators Technology and Management Training Workshops. Applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for the official submission method, required forms, and any detailed due date instructions.
